What should I be doing after Coil for the rest of the week?

[Zumi]

I already maxed out all my jobs/crafts/gathering. Been that way since October. I find myself playing a few hours 1 day to do coil, and run CT a few times to cap mythology, clear extreme modes for the week but the rest of the week I have nothing left to do but log in for 30 min to do beastman dailies.

I noticed a lot of people on my FC have 50 in everything, so its not just me a lot of people maxed everything as well. I played this game pretty casually but it seems like I have not much to do.

2.1 just came out and it seems like the game is still in need of some new content. What else can you do in FFXIV once you finished coil and myth for the week?

-Treasure hunts

-leveling crafting and gathering.

-gather stuff to sell on the market

-Beast Tribe dailies

-roulette dailies.

-other ways to make gil in the game.

Well, if you're a legacy character, it's expected that you ran out of content fairly early, as you had a massive headstart.

If not... you seriously burned through everything, and there's no way any MMO can keep up with you.

Either way, all you can do is wait now. Find things in game you enjoy doing, or take a break.

Leveling isn't content, this is the only headstart legacy character had because even if you're legacy you had to redo every class quest (especially in order to get a relic) and the main storyline along with unlocking and accessing other dungeons, even dungeons you've done in 1.x (Aurum/Darkhold.)

The thing is, the style of content this game has and is going to be designed with is easy to "run out of" because it's an age of artificial barriers (lockouts) to keep content alive, so you "run out" when you're pretty much locked off content you actually want to do. So as easy as its is to say "Just level", most MMOs you'd have people raising hell if the only thing you can do is level alts lol (in comparison.)

I feel 2.1 was more of a "catch-up" patch then any real new content to feed eager non-casual players. Which is all well in good. CT was suppose to be in 2.0. Pharos/HM dungeons are eh I cap myth in CT usually because the piece I want doesn't like me that week. So, all the Legacy players I know just do beastman and ex primals and coil the first few days of the week then sit around and craft. It sucks yeah, but just going to have to wait patiently for 2.2.

I had all my battle jobs leveled from legacy and a couple crafts, took me a month or so to cap the rest of the crafts and gathering. But the game has been out so long now that any head start is pretty much void the rest of the servers are definitely caught up to legacy.

You're only counting combat classes. Leveling crafting/gathering 'is' content, as there's nothing after that, and there's a lot of them to go through.

Plus, either way, doing Coil, repeated CT runs, and all the EX modes (potentially repeatedly), as well as beastmen dailies, and other roulette's (if seals/tomes are needed) is quite a bit of content.

If not... you seriously burned through everything, and there's no way any Modern Day Themepark Style MMO can keep up with you.

Fixed that for you. Most new mmos have limited content but I played 1 mmo for over 21,000 hrs. Some weeks pushing over 40hrs a week and never once ran out of things to do. So it is doable... SE HAS DONE IT BEFORE.

They could with extreme ease add content that would keep even the most hardcore busy for years.... Called mix the modern day elements with the old. Stop making everything a ultra casual gear give away. Add things that require a guild, things that take 3-4 hrs to complete, things that have no lockout.

No. ZephyrAM hit the nail on the head. There is no possible way in the world you can have all jobs/crafts/gatherers at 50 and expect anyone with a job, responsibilities, etcetera to believe you play the game "casually" and it's the game's fault for not having enough content. For people with enough legit free time to do that, then I'm jealous. Not spiteful, just jealous. But don't sit here and say the game is crap or outdated because of xyz because you have free time times infinity.

Unless I miss the content that DoH/DoL takes part in like Hamlet Defense in 1.x then yeah, leveling is content. Otherwise, having things leveled through Legacy was the only headstart you got. You didn't come into ARR with every bit of content cleared because you were forced to reacquire the content or to access new content.

Leveling is never considered content or there's something seriously wrong with your game if instead of doing unique dungeons or encounters, you're spamming old dungeons to level up. By the way, you can go from 10-45 on multiple jobs within hours in 1.x through powerleveling, this is how many, many people had almost everything at 50 that came over, even crafting was faster because Leves provided raw materials and rewarded sometimes hard to get material due to how gathering worked. Yoshida himself said the game starts at 50 which as we know is end-game, yet it's filled with artificial barriers to prolong it, this is how you "run out."

By the way, August 2013 - Jan 2014, no one can really say anyone has rushed or "still should have tons of content", that's quite a bit of time without multiple major updates for someone to be "done" by now, even if new.
