A fair few people in my FC have taken a break due to being burned out on FATE's and other aspects that need to be grinded out to lvl up in that dead zone each lvl from around 40+ where you've burned through the quests and story content and leves and dungeons just dont offer enough xp to help...most are coming back though once 2.1 drops in the hopes that they add more content into that lvl range and mayeb shuffle the xp gain abit so leves and such are as worthwhile for xp gain as FATE's which get boring fast.

My self i've been logging in every day or so to lvl a crafting job or explore abit but due to a crappy internet connection in my new place atm i cant get much done on my main(lvl 43 monk)

I suspect the next year will be the important tipping point for this game though, the fact they already have an expansion pack planned out may also help but they really need to take a leaf out of other games books and find ways to slow the progression down abit without boring people.
