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

It's predictable, to ask a question, and mostly get a "you don't like it, gtfo" response. Although I do thank the few bits of constructive advice - I will look into the summoner class.

Yes, sadly any title to a thread like this draws in the SquareEnix defenders. They can't let SquareEnix or FFXIV be slandered in any way! The Demi God Yoshida has spoken!

Do you have any goals in the game? What is it that you want to do? Find it, and do it.

LOL the only goal in the game besides getting coil geared is to make money from crafting. Relics and gear are kind of a joke at the moment.

Hey that is a long term goal for an average player. Relic gear is comparable with coil too.

Man, if people know me from when I agree'd with folks back in this forums when I fight countless Knights that this game is snooze fest...you'd know I use to fight countless Knights as this game is a snoozefest.

But now I'm generally tired of these threads too.
Whether it be "This game is boring." Moreover "This game is awesome!"
I find crafting fun, which is the only reason I'm here otherwise I would quit at 50 WHM.
I'ma just agree the game could use more stuff and that is all I'ma say lol.

Yes, log in once a week and clear BC and get your Myth.

This is what happens when you allow crybabies to influence developers. Deal with it!

As said in other threads, I'm still having a good time. Leveled the only 2 battle classes I wanted. Leveled all gathering, working on the crafts. Just started coil. +1 for WHM on monday. I want to collect all chocobo barding. Still need to level a sub class. The daily supply and provision from GC. All that between making gil and helping friends. 2.1 has a lot of stuff coming as well.

Nothing wrong with dropping sub and picking it back up if anything interests you about 2.1.

If you don't enjoy BLM, try another class. It might just be because I never play damage dealing jobs, or because I'm lazy, but as for mage classes, summoner seems a little complex in comparison to BLM.

My main is WHM, and I really have much fun with it.
Then I start leveling a BLM...yes, it almost bored me to death...
While I am leveling a BLM, I am also leveling a SMN & SCH...SCH is quite fun, too.

So I guess it is kinda dependent on the class that you play. You need to be always on your toes when playing WHM and SCH, you can play both Healer and DPS roles. I did a lot of 6 WHM, 1 Bard 1 Tank run for CM, mainly Holy & Regen, that was pretty fun too!
Being a healer also requires you to have high awareness of your teammates conditions, debuffs and etc, on top of all the dodging and positioning, unlike BLM.

I plan to start leveling DoW and start gathering/crafting after I bring all my DoM classes to 50. From what a lot of people says, it looks like PLD/WAR/MNK and all those gathering/crafting jobs are not boring at all. DRG seems to require a lot of positioning, so that one may not be boring also.

I think the reason BLM is boring, because all you do is DPS DPS DPS, with occasional sleep, and the skill damage isn't positioning-dependent like DRG.

So please, before saying this GAME is boring, try other classes first. BLM does not represent the entire game itself.

Also, have you:
- Talk to all NPC and see what they say? There are a lot of NPC saying interesting stuff, but they do not have title over their heads, try approach them.
- Visit all corners on all maps...there are some pretty interesting things around the game world...Like, there's a giant, slanted door somewhere at the end of Mor Dhona...take some screenshots there.
- Collect all minions/barding
- Collect all unique equips from dungeons for future Vanity slots
- Try out all Grand Company
- Try to get some specific FATE achievements? They usually comes with rare rewards such as minions, or items to exchange for exclusive armor pieces.
- Due to gaming experience in Elder Scrolls 4 & 5, I also like to climb very high, then try to jump down and see if I can hit certain target on the ground...but maybe that's just me The towers in Dragonhead map is pretty fun place to do this.

There's a lot of things to do in this game. Don't limit yourself
