Although it's unfortunate you want to quit based on these points, I'm going to give some counterpoint to your first arguement:

-Lack of open world content. I cannot stress this one enough. Duty finder is a neat idea and it works well for some raids but you have all these nice looking zones that are already created with no rare monsters for hunting/looting, no unique story quest battles that require grouping with a few people. There's virtually no reason to explore in this game in any of the zones you've created once you hit 50 because everything you want to do uses the duty finder. Open world content is the most vital factor of an MMORPG.

Actually, there is open-world content - there's FATEs, there's levequests, there's the Hunting Log. Like it or not, old-school FFXI-style exp parties and NM hunting are dead, because they were too easily abused and exploited by players and RMT alike. SE shouldn't have to give some reward just to get players to do things - the whole point of this game is fun, not treating the game's wider world like a glorified carnival.

Really, I don't see why you should need a reason to go out and explore the world - often I'll just grab my Legacy chocobo or Magitek armour and ride around admiring the sheer detail of the zones. If I see a FATE, often I'll jump in and do it, even as level 50 - I don't care about any reward from it, I just do it because I find it fun.

You have to find your own sense of enjoyment in this game, all SE has done is give you the tools and then left you to take it from there. If you can't find enjoyment from this game because of this, then maybe this game isn't for you I'm sorry to say.
