Endgame Players

[KoujiMoreno]

This is a theme park style mmo. It is designed in a way that you run out of content.

unless you like vanity items.

SE designed this game to where you have play another game at the same time. There is just a massive lack of content, and the design philosophy of XIV will keep that massive lack of content even with new patches due to vertical progression only and constant content negation.

Just like a theme park... even the best rollercoaster gets boring after you ride it for the 100th time.

I don't think so....

got my animus this week ,and now gearing my BLM and WAR with myth ....hope 2.3 (2.28 even) comes before im bored

[Empressia]

1. do weekly cap and coil
2. do challenge logs, roulette and any other money making activities since i'm the top housing furniture supplier and decorator in my fc
3. do daily beastmen quests
4. play other MMOs

[Ryuko]

What I do ingame...

1) Coil with my static (weekly days/times)
2) Beastmen dailies
3) Get my soldiery cap
4) Work on animus (now done)
5) Make money (SB or myth farming for items to sell)
6) FC Fundraising (usually through maps)
7) Deposit money into my FC chest for the eventual medium we hope to get (even though all but one medium is sold on our server)
8) Queue up for a bunch of trials with friends because we are THAT bored... witness random DF tanks argue about who gets to tank in titan hard before one mpks the other or jumps off the ledge, insisting to be carried (lol... I'm 2/2 on this scenario)
9) PvP if the queues are short at that time (has to be primetime and I have to be one of only a few ranged queuing)

I agree with the themepark idea thing. Really you *can* run out of things to do. But on the other hand, you can make things to do.

There are plenty of "rides" to do. Most of them are easy, a few are a bit harder and people that haven't "ridden" them before might get sick and throw up (wipe), but it's fun still if only to see if you can help new players limp through the harder stuff. Sure, the person you might be helping might be dead on the floor the whole time (too sick from rollercoaster to have cotton candy) but in the end, that's a fun handicap to see if you can still beat things. And, in the end, that person will too figure out the ride and no longer get sick, maybe you make a friend.

I think one thing that helped me find more things to do is just level all the jobs and try to gear them up, or play around with the market board to try to make money.

I really wish they'd stop with the echo buff thing, or only apply it in coil if you die or something. It's a fine idea but I think people should have one go at turn 1-5 with no buff, if only to appreciate it when they have the buff, just like when they get it in the primals: "Oh wow, I so stronk nao! I feel the echo coursing through meh!" I mean I don't say take away echo or click it off, but I just think people should "earn" it by wiping once or twice, cause they might just down it without it... Isn't everyone nearly i90 already if they've been playing for a few weeks? (sure alot aren't but it's *much* easier now to get it)

Still working on my Animus so:
- Roulette (Trials, HM mainly. Sometimes a Story roulette. I only do extremes enough times to cap Soldiery comfortably and then leave them alone)
- Books
- Beast Dailies
- Treasure Hunts
- PVP (40 cap)
- Fishing
- Random crafting
- Gardening

And don't include pvp, if I wanted to do competitive play, I'd rather play a MOBA or an FPS with more mechanics.

Well if you're actively ignoring part of the content then that's kind of your own issue. 40 cap is actually quite a lot of fun, i'm far from being ready for 50 cap. People just seem to ignore it because of the stigma of PvP, or they rage quit when they first get slept. I was like this but I've turned 180 on it. It's great for sharpening your skills and rewarding to get wins on the board. There's no "lack of mechanics", and it's fairly well balanced. Those kind of complaints come from people who try it once, get trounced and then blame the game.

[DragonSlayer45]

If I'm not farming dungeons/Coil for myth/soldiery/i90 gear, I'm helping other players out or doing my dailies and just chatting with other players. To be honest, its my Linkshells and Free Company that are keeping me playing.

[Raxion]

Why not try out a different job? I know if I were in your position, I'd work on getting everything to 50.

[LalaRu]

Who usually eats 1 year of content in one day, just have to sit down and wait next expansion. But this happens with every existing game.
The only options I see for this kind of player, is play something other until an expansion comes, or next time take it more easy.

Capping everything is really a lot of effort, maybe you can think of save some time doing other things as study, reading good books, or make a walk outside, will helps you better than a shiny best-of-the-game weapon.
