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

You're just offering generic answers, and I want concrete answers specifically pulled from ARR. I can understand the appeal of similar game mechanics - in fact, it is quite appealing for Batman: Arkham Origins. However, your statement on ARR's scenery should only have a minimal impact on gameplay honestly. Don't get me wrong, I love a game with stunning visuals, but even if the game were to have the best graphics, those graphics would be irrelevant if server lag was a constant nuisance (which it is on fights like Demon Wall). More than anything, it sounds like you just love the franchise, and really pull for it - which is commendable, I don't hold that in ill regard. You also like playing with friends - so do I. In fact, some of my favorite moments on MMOs were playing with friends... discovering new quests, zones, bosses with friends. In fact, I've played throughout my MMO career with co-workers and its always fun to go to work and talk about the fight. However, you are not addressing the inherent simplicity of the game both in boss mechanics, or in job mechanics.

That's all the answers Im going to satisfy your thirst with. Though I do think more work should go into mob detection and behavior and more 50+ mobs need to be added outside dungeons.

What I find fun works for me. What may work for me might not work for you and thats fine, I don't / shouldn't expect the game to change to please either audience.

I think he meant generic as in: the car is red and it has tires. is a generic way of saying why you like a car in particular.

we're talking about the engine transmission drive train and suspension being lacking which may also be about cars so would be cup holders and the gps but those don't make the car actually function do they?

Have not canceled or even thinking about it but yes the game is boring as hell lol.

Just clueless

I do not feel you even understand what you are trying to say. Others voice their opinion on how the game is boring as hell, you say you find enjoyment in helping people and doing random things. No one is going to try to tell you that you should not do those things, but they are by no means content as far as any MMO is concerned.

From what I have seen of your character's jobs and their gearing you are rather detached from any aspect of actually properly gearing your character, which shows you have decided not to participate at all in the speed run gear grind to equip your character with the best available gear outside coil.

If this was your way of making the game interesting to yourself, then I am sure everyone is quite happy for you. It is however not a recipe or even an interesting solution to any of the complaints or issues found in this thread. So again what was your point besides listing common sense phrases?

And to others mentioning PVP.... if you have been playing the same game as I have been, what in the HELL do you have to look forward to in pvp. The clunky combat is hardly even playable in a predictable PVE environment and you are excited for pvp.... lol

It is not exciting. But neither are the alternatives that white knights love claiming is the god of games. It is all the same thing. Whack monsters that are repeat of last levels monsters, until you reach cap. Repeat dungeons until you got armors.

Which is why I look more at the surroundings. Like are the publishers jerks, or are they trying to rip you off, or is the graphics nice? SE are very nice compared to terrible companies like EME, Frogster, GameForge, AeriaGames etc. that could release the best games ever, and I'd run for my life anyway because they have zero interest in the game and just want to steal your money.

Hi! I'm a troll

dude, get a grip. I don't think I said anything offensive to anyone here. Speaking of clueless

I rolled 3 characters, played through the storyline each time as one of the different 'trinity' roles (heal,dps,tank), made 3 relics, +1'd one of them.
I dont really want to see AK or WP anymore but its all people want to grind endlessly, I found coil to be rather underwhelming when I was asked to sub in for someone missing.
Crafting got old pretty quick and is a nightmare with the inventory system, gathering is terrible - no wonder people bot this kind of stuff.

Should we keep paying a sub just to login on monday and cap mythology to get gear that makes future iLevel 80 crystal tower stuff (whenever it finally shows up) pointless?

I'm terribly disappointed at the lack of randomization in dungeon runs, always the same enemies in the exact same spots, exact same layout with exact same patrols? Grinding a dungeon 10x+ a week would be more interesting if it had some randomness.

Its kind of funny (sad) im only just logging in now on mondays just to cap mythology so I can 'dress up' my characters in their ilevel 90 class specific gear.
