What Are You Doing (Or Not Doing) In-Game?

[MicahZerrshia]

All I am doing at this point is trials/norm raid roulette so I can upgrade a relic once every couple weeks and sometimes I will cap tomes or do a hunt train if I am super bored. I don't really see a need to do anything else atm.

I already have like 7 alts, so the last thing I want to do is sit through the base game + 5 expansions (esp DT) again and lvl via the same 5 or so dungeons roulette throws you into....again. Just to not do anything with those characters either
All my jobs are capped on the characters I care about
I have no interest in this silly wrestling raid thing or the gear from it
I haven't cared about doing extremes up to 99 times for the mounts since they put them in the mog tome events so I just one and done those
The crafting/gathering relics don't interest me since I am not a crafter. I used to do the gathering ones but no longer due to the sheer tediousness of them and the lack of them being anything special and being outclassed by vendor gear day 1 of 8.0
I won't be doing the new criterion simply due to the awful/lazy saccharine nintendo style graphics
Even as a huge FFXI fan/player the raids have been a let down, I would rather just play XI
DT story, as we all know, was a huge let down and continues to be quite frankly
No need to do anything in OC since I got my demimateria long ago and there is no reason to lvl the jobs
No need to do previous relics/raid content since I already have them completed
and finally since I can just buy upgraded lvl 100 tome gear day 1 of the new expac there isn't even a need to farm tomes or upgrade items now that we are so close to the .5 patch with no content I can even use it in right now.

Basically between the gear treadmill reducing everything to worthlessness after a couple months, the awful increasingly cartoony aesthetics and content rewards being easily available thru mog tome events and from a vendor day 1 of 8.0 there just isn't a need to play the actual game for anything, esp this close to a new expac.

i'm on my culinarian arc

[Veritas-Ancora]

deep dungeons and mentor roulette

would like to find static again, maybe

I'm also maybe interested in finding a static again. Definitely not running one. I've run 7 statics in the 12+ years of playing this game, I'm tired.

[Valkyrie-Veil]

Working on savage (on m12s p1 prog right now), getting paste for my relic, bidding (and losing) on medium houses, and g-posing.

I've been having a pretty good time lately!

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

What I'm doing:

• Casually working on several achievements that are not PITA (i.e. no Fishing, High-end clears, and treasure dungeon),
• Daily roulos or rerunning to help friends. Bonus point if they need help in older field contents,
• Gposing to make comic series out of 'em in external image editing software or write their headcanons alone or together with friends,
• Finding friends to hang with on the side, and;
• Lounging at the "I laugh at your PF misery/horror stories"-bench at the sideline together with other retired raiders as every tier unfolds (our numbers are growing by the day!).

Once I deal with 2nd tomestone weapon (Just two more! Slowing down severely because prepping for Lunar New Year so busy aaaaaaaaaaaaa), I'm planning to start working on latest DoH/L tools & gauge whether they're worthy of the effort & time, or maybe I'll simply just stow them to brute force by patch 8.3.

What I'm NOT doing:

• Oddly unhealthy achievements like 1000 bunny chests in OC.
• Stepping into high ends outside statics/helping friends.

Forcing myself through the Dawntrail story while doing beast tribe dailies, mostly...

Just a heads up it's not the games fault that you aren't interested in the variety of content

And you are dead wrong about the mogtome stuff, We have only had 1 of the Endwalker mounts to date it will be years before the Dawntrail ones are in there

[Andy_T93]

Still gearing my main in Savage, and doing levelling for the relic currency stuff. Also going back to the earlier DT EX's where I still need the wings/totems

Heads up, just because the new mounts aren't going to be added for a couple years, doesn't mean I am wrong. You literally contradicted your own arguement and proved yourself wrong lol

Not to mention you missed, or willingly overlooked (/shocked), most of my statement and didn't quite get what I was saying.

You said rewards would be available day 1 of 8.0 I was pointing out that you are wrong about that

All I got from your statement is you don't enjoy or engage with large amounts of the content and somehow think that is the games fault
