It sounds like the best solution for you is to just come back for the .5 patch and catch up on everything and get the full build up to the next expansion.

We've been there since the launch of FFXI, where the launcher still has a message encouraging players to take breaks. The best part of enjoying anything is to do so in moderation. Everything gets tired and old when you keep forcing yourself to do it. Are you an adult capable of independent thought or are you a slave to capitalism and social media pressure?
