This game is on a terrible state right now.

I appreciate all feedback and counter-feedback. But if you're gonna retort and say "But I have so much to do" maybe provide context into what you mean, so we can have an actual discussion instead of the only contribution you're providing is a counter with no point. It's just "Nuh uh!"

As we've ALL discussed - XIV has a huge problem with no middle-ground content unless it's egregious achievement hunting. I feel like this is where WoW is shining right now, it provides pretty good 'midcore' content that allows us to just hop in anytime and expect a challenge with any group of people. Kinda like how Eureka and Bozja worked, but that doesn't really exist in long form, and it also doesn't append to normal gameplay. Our 'midcore' is always a completely separate game mode, it may as well be a minigame most of the time.

So when people say they have so much to do, they're usually talking about Raid, or Achievements. If you look at the Census, only a small minority of players even do Savage. It's especially low for NA.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to get locked down to a static of salty players. I've had enough experience in both XIV and years of MMOs to just not enjoy that type of content. So I expect more difficult content with hop-in/hop-out opportunities.

LOL, Im sure if I made a Laundry list for said context, Id still get the same results. You, or someone else coming at me and getting mad at me for saying anything short of just Agreeing with them.
Raids and Achievements, are just 2 things to do in the game. Id list it off, but as I said, even if I did, Id get the same reaction, so I dont feel like it matters or is worth the effort. Since it being worth it will always be subjective anyway, such as having stuff to do in the 1st place.

And no, I completely agree. I dont want to be in that situation ever again.
But thats not an issue with the content. Thats people in the Playerbase.

Why don't you expand on the "plenty to do" content that came out in EW that you're doing? Remember - having things to do from older expansions doesn't count as content within the context of the current expansion. It doesn't matter if you're working on a ShB relic right now or farming mounts from Stormblood, that isn't CURRENT content. What do you have to do from Endwalker?

Ah, with this restriction. I have things to do.
Savages/EXs I haven't cleared, Ultimites Im still trying to gain the mental fortitude to attempt, Master crafting Recipes, the Stadium turn-in quests (They have a name I forget what it is), Raising all of my Crafters, side quests that could expand the lore of the game, Sightseeing log, Criterion Dungeon runs, Deep Dungeon Runs, getting all of the relics (which will just take time) Running CC and Frontlines to level my Milestones/Battlepass. Finally start my Island Sanctuary, do the Moogletrove more seriously instead of passively.....I think thats what I got off the top of my head for "Current EW"
But with FFXIV as a whole, I have Plenty to do!....but I think you established you arnt interested in that.
