Why is there still so much to do at end game?

[Kosmos992k]

Locusts only eat grass, grains, and leaves more or less.

Um, locusts eat pretty much*any* vegetation that is edible - they destroy croplands when swarming.

To refer to the people burning, through content as locusts and starving would mean realizing something. We play the game for XYZ and don't care about ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW. In other words there's a plethora of food in this game and some of us can only eat a select variation of it. When that runs out, we starve.

So, exactly like the locusts, your narrow interest in content (analogous to Locusts narrow interest in food (they are not omnivores after all) limits your ability to feed in the long term without moving on. - So, players like you describe are in fact like locusts.

FFXIV I am starving because 1-50 you don't need a group. Counting Fate Train Group's as a party is laughable. I can be in a party with 7 people and all any of them care about is that they are getting tags.

Indeed, so *why* do you play that way? You don't sound like you enjoy it. you're playing a multi-player game, the whole point of a multi-player game is to bring players together so that their interactions can extend the play value of the content in the game. the only time II run any FATE is when I happen to come across them, I run dungeons and leves with friends and LS/FC members, or solo leves if no one is around. I'll even go through DF to get a PUg if there are not enough folks available at the time. But FATE don't hold any interest for me

To take a step back and look at what else there is to do:

1. Crafting
2. Leveling alts
3. Lower Dungeons

Nothing wrong with those things

I don't enjoy crafting so I don't craft because it has no meaning.

Your narrow focus on the game is hurting your ability to enjoy it.

Leveling Alts: I do this, but slowly. I have 2 50's and am working on a BLM, but fate grinding for 5 hours straight isn't exactly my idea of a good time because being in a party is all about tagging and not about helping each other out.

Then, why do it? use dungeons and leves with friends.

I love running all the dungeons, but it's ineffecient to do so.

It's a game, since when did efficiency matter so much? Then whole point of play is to waste time and enjoy doing so. Efficiency is almost counter intuitive to play. The same people complaining about a lack of things to do are the ones trying to be as efficient as possible, actively trying to reduce their play time.

And you sit in que now for 4+ hours as a dps, or longer. My mains are both tanks PLD/WAR and I don't want to heal so I've pretty much written off running low level dungeons on a DPS unless I come accross a tank or healer to run with.

That's the *point* of an MMORPG - meet new people, make friends and play *with* them.

Now, a lot of this they are fixing, but my main point right now is that it is not currently fixed. So people are out of stuff to do they care about.

I think you could fix most of it yourself just by making friends.

Honestly, I'm not trying to sound like a broken record, but so much of what you are complaining about comes down to choosing to play a more narrow scope than others and not interacting with others. I mean that FATE group you describe might as well be bots for all the difference it makes. Running dungeons and leves may (or may not) take longer, but it involves more social interaction and that makes it more enjoyable.
