Current State of End-Game Contents - A Blog Post from A Japanese Player

[Docj]

Yes, and I have 15 mil on me. No house and only my Paladin is still at 50. Are you really trying to argue that I'll suddenly run out of things to do after I buy a house and get my Paladin to 50.
The only thing you provided was a non-argument. FFXI had what you want but I assure you that there were also people there sitting on mountains of gil with nothing to spend it on.

Hell, if you only have a Medium house quit your whining and start working your little behind off making gil for a Large house like a real pro.

How can you honestly argue with the simple point I have made? My whole point was: "lack of a meaningful economy means we have less to do". Last I checked a real economy is something you must participate in to survive and thrive. The current game economy is completely optional; and has no impact on clearing battle content.

This is a thread about endgame being boring and the various reasons we feel there isn't enough to do. I'm fairly certain that if I could craft i100 gear or better right now, I would be procuring the materials and doing that instead of posting in forums. I have several jobs that are stuck at i90 because of the weekly limits on gear we can get. I feel forced to only play my highest iLv because i90 is now outdated. If I could keep my other jobs up to date with crafted gear I bought/crafted, I could spend more time playing those jobs as well.
