How do I spend more than 1 hour doing content in this game?

Its funny then how fast content dies in this game when the rewards suck or people finish farming what they need

Clearly the gameplay loop itself is not engaging.

My sub ran out and I've started playing another game. Yesterday I lost track of time and just kept playing until I noticed I was hungry and 6 hours had passed. I had forgotten what that feels like. I can't remember the last time I had that much fun with the gameplay loop in FFXIV or did anything for the enjoyment alone and not rewards.

So many fans of this game recommended unsubbing and playing something else and I wish I had done it sooner. Such good advice. This community really looks out for each other and I'm thankful for it. I look forward to playing a multitude of games instead of this one in the coming years.
