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

[Cheito]

I just have a few problems with this game

1) in game built lag, this is just killing the fun for me
2)summoner is not what I was hoping for,nothing wrong with the job is just not a SMN
3)WAR and BLM,my other favored jobs are not that much fun ( I would like to know why they got rid of WAR dps stance and AoE,self healing gameplay and fire spam for a FF BLM is just wrong )
4) where are the dungeons,the only thing I found in this game are long corridors with mobs in it
5) Fates, I was honestly expecting something Like Campaing ( you know with mobs having tons of HP and maybe with a mini boss, something where even if you are 50 you can still die)

like alway this is just personal opinion

Mah bad... I count 16 on my DF which doesn't include coil. Now I'm just trying to think of another game I've played that had 16 dungeons at release.

I'm glad that's all you got out of the post. I'm assuming you found that boring as well.

But at the end of the day the whole game boils down to nothing more than endless AK/WP runs.

It's not the players. Square launched the game without casual raids or PvP. After 3 months of course people are burning out when the end game is nothing but the same grind.

No one's denying there are a lot of good ideas in the game. But it all falls apart at the end. The end game is just a narrow path of spamming 2 dungeons to run primals and then the impossible raid for hard core players only. There's nothing else.

I'd really love if people would stop using WoW as an example for Endgame content at release.
1. It did not have more to do endgame than this game offers.
2. The endgame content (Molten Core Onyxia) was not playable until 2+ month after release because of server problems.

@Keyblade you asked who and why finds this game fun.
At least for me I have some great friends playing this game with me and I met some cool people online. Which boosts the enjoyment for me personally.
Other than that I enjoy leveling different classes (did the same thing in FFXI). (Only crafts I can't get really into but that was the case in almost every mmo)
Besides that I love what they did with the dungeons (not talking about grinding/speedrunning the endgame dungeons over and over) but in general.
As of right now I really enjoy the base they build for themselves to add upon. And that is what every MMO does at start. You lay the framework before going hardcore into detail.(content)

I played alot of mmos over the years and no game besides FFXI managed to hold me for more than a year. Only MMO I came back to from time to time was WoW. But just because I was curious what the addons brought to the table.
And this game just seems to click with me at the moment. Might this change within a month or two maybe. But right now I'm having a blast.
Is this game without problems? Of course not. What mmo ever is? Could they have handled things better. Yep. Personally I think you level way too fast in this game and fates kinda ruin the experience.
The dungeon grind at the end is silly but if you're doing it with friends I don't mind it that much. What I do like is that we pay for DL with 1 currency so we can play any class we want and equip another. Love the flexibility it gives you.
And there are some more things which are annoying but I still enjoy the groundworks they did and I'm quite excited to see what this game will become. And again I'm not saying whatever they will implement will be golden and awesome. There is a good chance this game will go downhill from here on. But given their track record with FFXI my hopes are still high.

All in all I don't know if this is a valid explanation because having fun is subjective and not always rational. So right now I'm not bored but I can understand why some people are.

I find some parts a little stale, leveling, lack of direct quests, and a few other minor details but it is a brand new MMO it has plenty of potential and much time to grow like WoW and other larger mmo games have. For me it's always been the community that ties me to an MMO versus the actual game itself. I prefer playing a crappy game(Not that ff14 is ugly :P ) with a bunch of my crazy friends over a beautiful game alone. I played WoW for over 5+ years and what finally cut it off for me was the group of friends I used to play with broke apart and moved on to other things in their lives. I think if we give this game time it'll be awesome. Until then I'm going to go fish and chat with friends via LinkShell :P

the game is not brand new, its 3 years old, already failed once and is on its way to its second failure!! trust me 2.1 isnt going to save this game, the content is obsolete!

Maybe not in terms of some of the assets used but if you have ever worked in gamedevelopement/cg/programming etc. you'd know how wrong your statement is. This game is new and what they did in the short time available is more than impressive. (No matter if you like the content or not)

Have you got anything interesting or constructive to say or are you going to just whine and troll?

[tymora]

Whatever rocks your boat. For me, I am an achievement maniac.
Log-in for 1, 2 hours and make notable progress towards my next achievement. 3255 points and counting...go go.

Every week...
1. Do just enough to cap myth for the week.
2. Do just enough crafting to fill up retainers.
3. Do just enough leves to fulfill next achievement quota.
4. Bored on blm? Rock up the instance playing a tank or healer.
5. Do just enough to progress on the next relic.

I have plenty to do, well, for now anyways.
