End game... Bored. The facts.

[MisakiSatomi]

I don't know who could take the DL grind for a second class.

Hah, i need to wake myself up after a dungeon now.

Hah, i need to wake myself up after a dungeon now.

I noticed all your leveled class are DPS. Try playing something that isn't DPS.

I know it's not for everyone, but using a different role class as your secondary seems to keep things fresh. I currently have a BLM @ 50 undergoing the end-game grind. When I need a break, I go level up my Paladin (currently 37), and I can tell you that my leveling experience up to this point has felt completely different than with the BLM. Even the FATE spam is different (read: more of a struggle lol). But more noticeably, dungeons feel fresh from a tank perspective vs. DPS.

Again...I know it's not for everyone, but something to consider for those that haven't tried it yet.

I wouldn't have leveled any battle class besides my main if it wasn't because it is just Bard. Grinding for myself is not a problem if i want to do it, but there is no point in doing it seeing as how end game works right now. I'm even fate grinding my Arcanist now, but I'm just saying.

Just a side no this thread really should have been titled "End game bored. My opinion."

Just a side no this thread really should have been titled "End game bored. My opinion."

From the OP:

1. Run CM 55 times per class to get full DL and relic, extra runs for materials.
2. Run AK 8 Times before monday.
3. Run binding coil of bahamut to get shortcuts to gear equivalent of mythology (AF+1).
4. Sit around town using the game as a chat room, farming, masturbating w/e since there's nothing left to farm gear wise and all dungeons will be no challenge other than with a bad party.

Everyone who's in end game is doing/need to/did do this. Fact.

I love Final Fantasy, and somewhere inside me I have a strong attraction toward game (heck, I leveled to 50 twice).

However, the endgame is awful. Doing CM makes me really angry at myself.

[Azazela]

I just AFK farm CM, because otherwise it's unbearable. I quit for two weeks, and that was the decision I made. Quit, or just AFK farm.

I already need to save my patience for the 8 AKs a week, not wasting my time on that filler trash.

@OP - Without responding to individuals in the thread (it's far too long to read) - name a SINGLE MMO ever made that didn't fall into this trap. A single one. Any? No? What a shock.

It's a launch title. They never launch with exhaustive end-game content. Couple that with the fact that you focused on one piece of the game with a single-minded intensity, and you have boredom. What a shocker. If you quit and pick it up in three years, then you'll have more content. Expecting it at launch is just retarded.

TL;DR - Logic {Do you need any help?}

Edit:

Everyone who's in end game is doing/need to/did do this. Fact.

I didn't. I did a little bit of CM, just enough to get a Darklight piece or two, then jumped into AK. I ran it enough to get the one Relic piece I have, spread out over more than a month, so it was nice and leisurely. I threw plenty of Ifrit and Garuda runs in, to help people out who needed a pick-up healer who knew the fight. I didn't sit around in town bored because my 8 AK runs for the week were up; in fact, I've never done 8, because that wastes 20 seals. I throw in Primals instead.

Seriously, if you're running CM 55 times for Darklight instead of letting AK cover both DL and Relic progression, you're doing it wrong. Full Darklight is huge overkill for AK anyway.

This is basically one of those arguments saying that oh, I came in undergeared and got carried. So because I did it, you should too. Bzzt wrong. being gimped with gear is a problem. Means that your cures aren't doing enough and it means that your tanks have to have higher EHP to compensate. While it is a good way to spread the monotony around, it's not 100% feasible for everyone. I can't go into stuff being undergeared as a tank without feeling guilty. Means that due to my laziness and whatever bullshit reason I throw out, people should have to carry more than their share of the weight? Full DL is overkill for AK, but a couple is a joke. A ring and a bracelet?

Personally I feel guilty if I don't pull my own weight, but apparently not everyone does.

[Goddhand]

I can't believe no one is discussing how bad AK is now

I understand they don't want fresh 50's doing speed runs through AK and gearing out relic in a day...but this is ridiculous. I'm watching kids in full df with relic +1 wipe to the wall constantly, and the bees now take an hour to go down. Why? All this is doing is making a crappy number check even crappier. It's not upping the difficulty, its an arbitrary shift into Binding Coil so end gamers will gear around AK instead of through it. This is awful.
