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

[DemonwrathDeathreign]

Just you and a small minority of players, if it was boring many players wouldn't have 3-5 years into the game, some since 1.0.

What it is is subjective, and not everyone is looking to the same level of gratification at the same pace as you, or anyone else really.

I'm not bored, which is mainly what matters. Neither are the tons of other players making up very healthy sub numbers, at least for the most part or I'd really question the point of the sub.

Some dungeons are short, some not so much, but nothing remotely as bad as the current state of dungeons in WoW, for example. The boss fights are fun, the story is quality, the nostalgia is cool, and the people are great, at least on my server. If you're bored, you aint trying.

Old post but amusing to read in 2017.

Certainly, so much doom and gloom and here we are: 4 years later and the game is growing bigger and bigger. It wouldn't be possible without the player's feedback and support. Constructive criticism is what helped this game to not die. The game has its flaws, like every game on the market, but everyone is pursuing their own goals and they have their own motivation to play it. If yours end at some point, it doesn't mean the game is boring or bad, it's just not appealing to you. However, the feedback of why it is boring, providing suggestions, is better than just jump and say "The game sucks, it's going FTP, game's dying". It helps players that are on the same boat.

Remember that one parody thread "The many deaths of FFXIV"? It was based on player's ridiculous complaints. It was hilarious how they wished the death of this game because they didn't like it.

Its dreadfully boring.

Except at this point in Stormblood there's only so much you. can do. Lvling up remaining doh/dol/battle class, gathering/crafting red and yellow scripts, doing daily roulettes, doing weekly raid for loot if rng favors you, hunting A/S ranks if time is up. To me this isn't content, this is chore. In pve there's only fates to do and it really gets to you after doing a few rounds of those. Even if there's some form of map events leading to a map boss I doubt the server can handle that much of players in a map(ixion as an example) I really feel that SE have to step up on their game to really keep the players engage and right now is plain boring.

Stormblood is very boring rn cause there isnt much to do. I've leveled 4-5 jobs maybe more to 70, leveled crafters, gatherers and done omega.

There is litterally nothing that logs back in except when my gf wants to play. I moved to another game, though keeping my sub active for housing. Once 4.1 comes around I'll probably play more again but rn there isnt much to do

"Boring" is a very subjective subject. For some playing golf in real life is very boring, for others is what it makes their life so exciting ...

For me FFXIV, at the moment, is not boring, it is the best mmorpg in the market ...

The only thing I find boring know is the bland gear stats and materia system we have the rest is fun until burnt out happens. Then I go play another game until next patch or longer. /Shrugs

I wonder if because when I'm in work, I've almost always had super-varied and exciting jobs, the "monotony" of FFXIV is what keeps me enjoying it. The daily tomestone grind, the farming of experience, the crafting of items. The monotony is almost therapuetic to me. I like it.

I don't find it boring most of the time because I always have something to do, and can always step away from the game for a few hours to do something else when I do find it getting boring. Whether it be farming mounts/levels/minions, chatting with friends/helping them, or just working on perfecting my rotations, there is always something for me to do.
