Do We Remember That a Game Is Meant to Be Fun?

Damn you wasted so many words to say even less than i did smh....

This game is more centered around raiding. It is what keeps you busy for the longest time. If you don't do savage or ultimate you obviously miss out on the best content this game has to offer. That is where the dev's effort goes. The game has only become more and more raiding centered in the past years, so obviously that is the direction they are taking.
And no the game is not devoid of fun for me personally. I have content that i enjoy a lot. Just because you might be skipping out on that content or don't enjoy it doesn't mean there is no fun to be had for others.
Challenge yourself, push your favorite jobs to their limits, optimize your rotations.
The game is not braindead easy as soon as you engage with the actual endgame.

And who even plays this game for social interaction? Most of the times your teammates are just a hinderance slowing you down.
Tanks not sprinting in dungeons, prog liars, people not knowing their rotations or how to optimize, people not being able to use their mitigations....

The game well over a decade later is still trying to discover what it wants to be, I don't really think they have a clear direction in mind, and to be honest I would not be surprised if they rebounded in some ways... Just as we saw going from SB -> ShB, and then again from EW -> DT.

It's great that you have fun, really, but your idea of fun is not necessarily the same for everyone... Personally I've tried savage, did Eden's Verse, and came out of it feeling more relief for the fact it was over rather than the fact I cleared it and pushed myself, in a way that I hadn't since Final Coils of Bahamut.. Personally, I am not complaining about the game being easy or not. I just don't think in recent history it has been fun -- Hence why I find myself in Eureka far more than I do Occult.

Given it's an MMO, you will probably find there are far more people interested social interaction than there are not.. --> "Just because you don't relish in the idea of interacting with a community, or because you don't enjoy it doesn't mean there is no fun to be had for others."..
