Play other games :)

Lmao yes the ffxiv forums never disappoint! And it took a surprisingly dark turn too. 10/10

Yeah, this generation. Don’t leave me hanging. Hit me with a sassy rebuttal about being a boomer. I’ll be doing a dungeon until then.

Now, now. You know why they call them boomers? Because they're the bomb! ◕‿↼

So... Patrolling the forums almost make you wish for a nuclear winter?

I know the OP was trying to be snarky... but that's more or less what I do. I don't give up my house - I stay subbed just enough to keep my house when not actively playing. I go play other games. Honestly, even when I'm subbed, I fill my time with other games. I'll go heavy into whatever new content comes out that I want to do. I'm not looking to be entertained 365 days/year by an MMO. And anyone that is expecting that is likely to be let down.

Same. I don't view "playing other games" as even a slight on FFXIV. I can like other games and FFXIV, and XIV is still probably my overall favorite even when I want to have other experiences. I think it's healthy to have more interests than just FFXIV.

As has been pointed out many times already, a lot of players with concerns about FFXIV are playing other games and aren't looking to be entertained by one specific game 24/7.

They're simply recognising that less and less content is being designed with staying power in mind and that even after taking breaks they're returning to see that elements of the game they enjoy are being taken away for the sake of those who do little but idle in cities and player houses whilst heavily altering the game and their character to be utterly unrecognisable as 'FFXIV.'

I'm the same. That said, if I had literally done everything up to the current content, I'd be thrilled to take a break. I can't imagine having every relic weapon for every class for every expansion, every minion, fish, mount, every ultimate raid, etc (not including the 10k synthesis meme). If that is where people are honestly at, then wow, it sounds like you've gotten a lot out of this game. "play other games" doesn't have to be an insult, it could be a "wow, you've done everything this game offers for now, that's awesome!".

We both know that isn't how people are meaning it.

Do you guys pay these Limsa AFKers to use them as boogeymen, or do they just let you do it for free?
