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

[catch22atplay]

It's boring and I haven't logged in for a couple weeks now. Here's my list.

Fate grinding is just awful
Leve Quests are awful
Minimal quests once you finish 1 job and almost no quest after the 2nd job.

There's just nothing to do except a few instances every day and after a month of that I can't deal with it any more. Leveling a 2nd class is when it starts getting painful. The 3rd class is just tedious and near impossible without quests. And fate grinding is ok for maybe an hour. But I seriously can't deal with more then that a day. So I've pretty much given up until they fix this issue. The end game fights remind me of WoW and i'm here because I don't want to play WoW. So i'm very disappointed with the way these boss fights are.

I was hoping for a game more similar to FFXI and instead I get a WoW clone. bah

The biggest problem is that this game was designed such that 95% of its content is only done once.

This is why the game is so boring. Its not that the game itself is terribly boring, but that it was designed to rush you through the majority of its content and then you farm AK/WP for tomes. That's the sum of the endgame, and its really tragic.

I know people hate slow leveling curves in general but at least when it takes a while to level you get to stop and enjoy each zone and each dungeon and you run them multiple times.

This whole 'game starts at 50' developer philosophy sucks, and was a big mistake imo.

So yeah, I'm with you. I'm finding things to do like leveling alt classes and derping around with the (mostly useless) crafting system. And I'm still enjoying myself, but I suspect I'll be bored to tears by Christmas. I hope 2.1 keeps this game going... because as it stands I know I'm gonna burn out soon.
