lack of content,tones of lag,broken instances..

There is certainly lots to do. You assume there is less content after hitting 50 on your first job. Well, there's more to it than the melee/mage jobs. Crafting and gathering has lots to it. You don't have to spend all your days farming for tomes when you can sit and relax on a job like fishing. After looking at your lodestone profile, you still have lots to do before you are bored. You need to work on getting Mythology or Allagan pieces. On the topic of latency, it's mostly your internet service provider. The servers have been fine for me for the past week.

Here's a suggestion to those out there who are bored: Set goals for yourself.

By the way, Turn 5 of Coil is not broken. About three or so Free Companies completed it. You just have to figure out when to move away from a Twister spot. Well, you bought the game since you must have liked it. And you expected lots of content in the end? Sounds like you rushed to 50 and/or have not spammed Coil every week. The game has been out for like 2 months. Give it time for content.

I agree with the OP. There's next to zero content. Dinging 50 and spamming Praetorium and CM to acquire DL gear was poor and lazy design. Also why do you have a grind for your company? (Twin adder) When the gear royally sucks, and literally the two reasons to buy anything from them is to respect stats, or for crafting bonuses?

It DOES feel like beta test. And it is NOT his ISP, I get perfect results from my ISP on other games, and I lag horribly only on this one sometimes. The very second I start to lag in FFXIV, I alt tab and go to speedtest, and get perfect results, definitely NOT my ISP. Everyone knows it has to deal with the American servers that route information to SE's servers. Canadian, Australian, and some parts of Europe run perfectly, while the USA is having massive issues.

And no one cares if the game has been out 2 months, it isn't like this is the first game to NOT have end game content. Pretty much the biggest reason MMOs fail and become F2P is because of lack of end game content, it isn't rocket science. Aion, GW2, SwToR and countless other MMOs have failed due to it, and if your game is not ready for hardcore players who can achieve max level in 4 days from a level 1 job, you should not be releasing it until you have more end game content, this is known by every company.

Do you even know what goes on with every company? Do you think they just throw a game together, and launch it? They have many phases they go through, and the game would not have been pushed out of beta test unless a vote from many higher ups passed, and they all felt there was enough end game content to keep the game going, which there isn't.

Also, a majority of the population does NOT craft or fish. Personally I didn't spend forever in other MMOs crafting and fishing to come here, and crafting/fishing does not give you access to anything you cannot obtain better otherwise. It's a waste of time, unless you meld materia.

And what to do if you get bored in the first level? I'm sorry - I thought I was buying a game, not an interactive movie.

See my level? That will never change because I've already uninstalled this waste of money.
