Reason why I can't rly get into Lost Ark is the same as with BDO, it's too time consuming.
Imo I think FFXIV isn't time consuming enough once you've cleared the content and are just doing your weekly clears, I basically clear it in one sitting and wish I had more altho when the Savage tier is unlocked it'll be easier to find groups and just run for fun and to gear alts/ glam etc.

But I'd rather take how FFXIV is than how Lost Ark works, even with WoW it's too much for me nowadays.
Lost Ark just feels like a game that expects you to ONLY play Lost Ark, while FFXIV leaves room to play other games.
