IS it just me... or is FFXIV boring?

I had the idea that we could do single player dungeons and trials while hiring a team of npcs. If you completely certain sections of the story, such as the job quest lines up to 60, then you could get npcs like the job trainers to join your party. Something like a relationship system. Of course scions from main scenario and we should be allowed to use past characters if you want. Such as fallen characters..*cough* shield, elezen *cough*

So basically I could play DRG while Yshtola healed me and lyse could be my monk, etc. It would be cool if I could take my wife with me too though. 1-7 players + 1-7 npcs

I think that's a terrible idea. We don't wanna make this MORE of a single-player MMO than it already is.

Group activities should be promoted as much as possible, for sure. Our GC squadrons will be a "party" for dungeons supposedly though nobody knows when, but I think it's still being debated.

I just think it's a shame that we have a vast beautiful world that just seems dead because of a lack of things to do in it. Back in 2.0 I remember seeing people all over the place. Like every FATE was filled with people and the world felt alive. There just doesn't seem to be much reason to do them anymore and there's not much else. Now I just see most people sitting around the major cities waiting for queues to pop lol

The only reason Fates were so popular was they were the only reasonable way to level alt jobs. By 2.1 I was 500% done with fates and still am to this day, but I will do them if required or if there's enough incentive. Luckily 2.1 added beast tribe quests if I remember right. Now we have multiple ways to level and they're without a doubt faster (roulettes, Deep Dungeon, dungeons, etc.) As far as open world content we have the Hunt and treasure maps currently. Most people are done with the content currently available or the content they've chosen to take part in, and that was to be expected. Same thing happened with 2.0, though everyone was probably leveling more then. 3.0 was the same way as well. 4.0 is no different, and I'll be honest...my server was and still is pretty active. Has it died down a bit? Oh yeah, no question. HW didn't retain players quite like SB has. I myself am leveling RDM and plan to level a couple other jobs before 4.1, and I'm also continuing to gear SAM via tome gear. That itself does take a couple months. Give it a month or so and people will be back either to prep for the next patch or FOR the next patch itself. There will be things to do then, but for now all we can do is wait. That's really all there is to it. Nothing we haven't seen before.

The worlds just too..dead the only open world content we have is Aquapolis/Canals, and hunts. The rest of the world is just FATEs with the occasional beast tribes every patch and off patch when they do come out. PvP is even more sad due to all the bots in actual PvP as well as win traders so that aspect for me is dead. As for raiding content all I can do is wait for super savage and try that out with shinyru ex.

Have you reached the endgame yet? It's boring in the early game and most people agree on that.

Ohh, this thread's now been officially double-necro'd.

Quite an impressive bit of necromancy there I'd say.

Would like to see a WT version of like open world stuff, challenge log is pretty forgettable. But yeah a weekly book with fates, hunts, maybe some gather and crafts and some decent prizes.
