Running out of stuff to, there needs to be more endgame content.

[Zumi]

So far I have accomplished
-All battle classes to 50
-obtained 9/9 relics
-Farmed tombstones to have full darklight on every job except caster dps
-did coil 1-4 weekly only need 4 more pieces of gear for full ilvl 90 on my PLD
-All crafts to 50
-Crafted all hq crafting gear
-Leveled Botany and Fishing to 50, Mining to 25

What I have left to do
-Miner 25 to 50 (my only job that isn't at 50)
-Farm more tombstones for caster dps darklight (I don't even care for blm/smn all that much)

Honestly I can't even think of what I should be doing in this game. There is a lack of endgame content. Not even as hardcore about gaming as I use to be when i was younger but it seems like I capped out on almost everything there is to do. 1 short endgame raid doesn't cut it for me. Comparing this to other MMO there are at least 3 endgame raids at launch to give players a weeks worth of stuff to do.


And getting relics and darklight on all these jobs seems a bit pointless when there is nothing to challenge me on these jobs.

Suggestions on what I should do.

This is a serious answer. This is not sarcasm nor an attempt to mock you. If you have done all of those things by now, here's my advice:

Play another game. Seriously. No matter the quality of a game, if you grind it to the ground with too much playtime, you WILL get bored, that's how human beings are, repetition produces boredom. You should change it up once in a while.

And when 2.1 comes out, I suggest you don't burn yourself out, because you will be short on content rapidly.

Yoshi himself said The game starts once you reach end-game - which means in all reality they should have focused more on end-game content.

Sometimes Yoshi-p sounds sarcastic, and I honestly don't think he REALLY meant "Game starts at 50". However, that's just me and how I see it.

Even more so if we have to go threw 1-50 every time we level a new Class/Job. If the game starts at 50 then we shouldn't have to go threw 50 levels just to start the game. Which is why when he said it, I blew it off because it didn't make any sense unless we actually started at level 50.

but many have maxed their particular areas of interest and no longer see much benefit in logging in. and to those saying this is how it is in all games, you are mistaken.

Yeah, it kinda is how it is with all games. If a game doesn't give you something interesting to keep you hooked, you won't stay ( or buy even single player games for that matter). You are seriously telling me people will still play an MMO if they maxed out their "Areas of interest"? x.x

I feel the same way, IMHO i believe he said that regarding people complaining about the game being too easy to get to level 50. So he basically said that the difficulty is going to be ramped up for end game and I have to say, unless you have an FC with a group of people you play with every day, end game is pretty challenging.

Bingo!

i respectfully disagree. some games don't rely on dev created content to get you hooked, they give players tools to create their own content. 1.0 was much more in this vein, the highest level gear wasn't tied to dungeons, it was tied to crafting and materia. we had much more flexibility with gear and there were no stat caps for materia, so you could get creative with the various types of high level gear and play styles they required. in ARR, all the high end gear is obtained thru one mechanic, running dungeons. and there's a remarkably bland formula to it all which reinforces very similar play styles. i understand that some find this approach entertaining, but as someone that spent years playing 1.0, it feels hollow.

That's kind of the point of the gaming industry and why it crashed early on - The dev created content didn't hook people and keep people. I'm pretty sure none of us around at the time did our own creative gameplay for ET. MMORPGs at least before it became mainstream were always about the content the developers created and doing it with friends - The fallacy of current game design is we have to make the game entertaining or buy every aspect of the game after the initial purchase.

Anybody who complains about a lack of content has to be in the extreme minority.

So most MMOs that failed in the past couple of years with lack of content being one of the reasons failed only because of a handful of people? ARR has absolutely no hope then.

Play another game.

People love to say this, until others actually take that advice and NEVER come back.

Examples? Almost every single MMO for the past decade.

I play one day a week now, is that worth 20 bucks a month? I dunno about that.

And to that I would say I'm happy that you've found a game you enjoy instead of trying to enjoy a game even though you hate it and come on the forums and whine all day that you can't get what you want.

[Hysterior]

I think you have pretty much broken the game...
Either play something else until next content is up or spend time helping people to reach end-game to increase your FC capabilities.
