my only problem with this game is that it feels slow, but im not talking about the entire game such as combat or gathering, those feel justified to be slow, and people are right when they say combat gets faster as you level.
it has a lot of unnecessary item requirement bloat for most if not all crafting recipes after heavensward, and im specifically talking about items dropped from mobs, so crafting as a weaver, alchemist, or leatherworker means your going to spend a lot of time farming HQ mob item drops and its only going to get worse as you progress. of course that no longer matters to me, because i found out that crafting is optional and not a requirment, though StormBlood's HQ gear has a very large statistical difference from low quality gear as opposed to HeavensWard and definitely ARR.
there also seems to be no difference in pace inside and outside of combat, gathering, and crafting. im talking about the freedom of the open world. before level 20, you had to sprint from point A to point B with a 20 second sprint and a 10 second CD, but now we still have a 20 second sprint, but a 40 second CD, and i just feel sorry for new players. i also do not see why we cant move while "casting" a mount, and i do not see a reason why sprint is not different outside of combat (though this is confirmed to change in the future). there also seems to be a lot of mobility based abilities within each class, but they each have a very long CD for the sake of them being extremely effective within combat. the pace of the game needs to speed up outside of combat in different forms besides mounts and teleportation in order to make it a proper open world experience, then have the pace slow down to its current form within combat (increase certain ability CD and limitations during combat). basically, besides using mounts and teleportation, everything that applies within combat also applies outside of it, and that just limits what the open world could offer. all i know is that it would be awesome if i could do multiple shukuchi teleports as a traveling ninja, or if i could summon my flying mount as i am free falling.
so i just believe the game is boring because it is very, very slow paced. there's not a lot of "freedom" to give the player outside of combat.
