I don't feel like doing anything.

[Vensaval]

It's quite depressing. I remember being so hyped when the PS3 beta was coming around because it was (and still is) the only way I could play this game. I've been wanting to play since the original, but I never had the means of doing so.

Beta begins, I begin playing this game, and I'm having a blast. I have so much difficulty putting the controller down because I didn't want to do anything else other than play this game. When the official release came around and I finally got my hands on the disk (took a couple weeks; definitely felt left out), I would play at least every other day. Happily.

I played at a moderate pace as well. Hell, even now I still have tons of things to do. I can keep working on the relic quest, farm CT, do plenty of gathering and crafting since I have none of those classes at 50, level some other classes, help people from my FC (of which there are plenty active members), participate in PVP for a change, etc. However . . .

I've gradually been becoming more and more bored with this game. I wish I weren't. I wish I could keep enjoying it the same way I did during beta and beyond, but that's just not happening.

The repetitive nature (and you could say this of all MMORPGs, I suppose; which is disappointing in and of itself) got to me. When I noticed that my daily routine consisted purely of completing Duty Roulette for tomes, completing Beastman Daily Quests, and a run of CT or two if I hadn't already gotten my item for the week, I soon found myself not wanting to do anything.

Even after taking a break for a few days to do something else. I literally just logged in. As I was typing in my password, I felt dread. After walking around with my character and looking at the Duty Finder for the Roulette, I put down the controller and just didn't feel like playing anymore.

The goals of armor, weapons, and a house just aren't enough for me anymore. I'm no longer engaged. I hate that I feel this way. When I say that I've played this game at a moderate pace, I mean it. The only Hard Mode Primal I've gone against is Ifrit. I don't even have the new dungeons unlocked. I played this way on purpose so that I could look forward to doing something new when I logged in. To try and prevent the way I feel now, but I suppose it was all in vain.

It doesn't matter what content I participate in (other than PVP, which isn't really my thing). Every dungeon, trial, quest, whatever. They all just feel the same to me. Target enemies, do my rotation, try not to get hit by anything, follow the path if there is one.

I think that's the bulk of the problem. It's all too monotonous and barely offers variety. Even gathering and crafting are far too monotonous on their own to break the monotony of everything else.

I wish I could keep on enjoying this game because I honestly do love it, but . . . I just don't feel like doing anything anymore.



tl;dr: If you don't care enough to read, then a "tl;dr" is nonsense.

I personally love the game and cant wait to get out of work and play it nightly... However I have goals that I sset for myself to make it interesting, your making this game a job rather than a good time... I leveled all crafts and its tedious grind that is far from being fun... When I leveled my classes I did 5 levels a day or until I got bored from doing it... Spread it out as I was leveling everything else and enjoying story... The daily's take 30 minutes no big deal I blast them out and do whatever I feel like at the time... You need to do things you enjoyed, fight primals hm, xm... Not because you need to beat them and get a drop but because they were fun and a great experience... If you don't enjoy the game then it's time to think why...

Nah, I wanted to vent/see the opinions of others. Also, your opinion ≠ the opinions of others. Sorry to tell you.

What you complain about is what MMOs are all about.
It's like going on the BF4 forum and saying: "man i'm so tired of shooting people"

That's exactly why I don't play shooters.

fair enough...that is the main usage of the general forum is to vent these days.also, the whole "no one cares" isnt an opinion, it is a fact.i suppose the only people who cars are those with their own personal gripes with the game and just gonna use you as a proxy to vent what ever they dont like;however, even then they dont care about you...they only care to have a way to vent their issues. so really, im still correct...no ones cares man.

but whatever...vent away.

Posting on these forums is just like telling SE, so I don't understand you.

not really.

you see, threads like this is one wont get noticed by the devs, hell i seriously doubt the CMs will report any of the stuff in this thread to yoshi and co. what will happen though, this thread and other like it will just write off as a typical QQ thread of the day and no one who could do something about it wont even hear the OP, mine or even your opinion about what we think about the game. after a while, the typical people from the total extreme playerbase on this forum (hardcore/ conservative and causal/liberal ) will slowly ,but slowly devolve this thread into a name calling hate fest. which inevitably will get this thread closed and forgotten. pming the GM in game or just shooting a email to SE directly will seriously improved your chances to see you grievances dealt with

edit

im sorry, but i always see it to be futile to post stuff like this on the forums, when you can cut the middle man and just go the the company instead.

edit 2

hell if you guys truly believe this the devs will look upon these forum, then wouldnt you have a way better chance on the jp forums...where the devs can look at your thread(s) without a translator?

They have admin that go into each thread and sort out the information to see what is useful or not. That is how they got user feed back in 1.0 to remake the game for ARR. Sorry, but it is the truth. If you don't want to read what the OP has posted, then why do you continue to post in here?

Going to the company is posting on the official forums. This isn't a outside community site, this is maintained and monitored by SE themselves. The best way to communicate with the devs and Yoshi P is via the forums. You would have to be around during 2011-2012 to understand.
