Dailies are complete trash

[ZephyrMenodora]

Three easy daily quests that take less than 5 minutes to complete together? Hell yeah!

That's how I feel. This game has enough dailies/weeklies to churn through already. These quests have also been like this at least since Shadowbringers. Not sure before that as I never bothered before then. I just look at these as nearly free XP for jobs I don't really feel like playing.

ARR was excessively tedious. They streamlined and made them a lot more bearable moving forward from Heavensward.

Good to hear. I don't always have a lot of time to play, and I already need to get my tomes from Expert roulette. I'm fine with getting some quick XP for alts - and can make some progress even if I only have 10 minutes to play a given day.

Okay, I'll bite. What dailies/weeklies are you talking about? Outside of raid lockout and tome caps (which many people don't even care about), I can't think of a single daily/weekly to "churn through" besides maybe 5 minutes worth of beast tribes societies and custom deliveries.

Think harder. Dismissing the entire game as things you don't care about of course would result in nothing to do. There may be "Many" people that don't care about anything, but there are "many" that do.

1. Daily roulette for tomes - which I do care about. Like I wrote earlier - finishing these sets and upgrading them is the best gear I have access to without a static.
2. Daily PVP roulette.
3. Daily Alliance if you are levelling old classes, as I still am.
4. Daily level roulette if you aren't done levelling.
5. Weekly Alliance Raid for a coin.
6. Weekly 8 Man for 1/4 items to get a 720 weapon.
7. Daily Society quests.
8. Weekly custom delivery quests.
9. Weekly setup and collection of Island Sanctuary to keep that going.
10. Daily crafting FC deliveries if you still need experience. I check them and will do an easy one if I need the XP.
11. Collecting money from your retainer and sending them back out.
12. Weekly loose ends for Khloe stories.
13. Weekly fashion report.

People even do other things like other daily and weekly gold saucer that I don't even bother with.

Some of these are fast, but all these little chores quickly add up to a lot of time.

A lot of these grinds do have an end point - but if you reached them you likely already got an immense amount of playtime out of the game.

*List of things*

Almost everything on that list is either completely optional, or something you'd already be doing anyway.

If you're still leveling, then non-expert roulettes aren't a chore you have to go out of the way to do. They're things you're already doing anyway as part of the regular leveling experience. Same with crafting turn ins, etc.

And the things you do have to go out of the way for are completely optional. No one is forcing you to keep your island running endlessly, or to micro-manage your retainers, or do the Fashion Report every week, or complete every WT book, etc. Those are activities you opt into if you want the (purely cosmetic) rewards. They're not vital player power progression systems that everyone is forced to do every day/week.

All dailies are optional. Most of the game's content is optional. Playing the game at all is optional. What you find to be a chore is your own opinion.

You stated you couldn't think of dailies/weeklies. There are many. That they are all optional doesn't change that they exist to be churned through or ignored at your leisure.

I'm not even understanding your point of view. Looking at the job you listed as your main, you are using mostly 700 and 710 gear. So I mean, you already said that power progression isn't even something you care about but now are discerning between "vital power progression systems". The standard of keeping up your power level to outdated tomes / raids suggests nothing in the game at all is important to you.
