Anyone else feeling...uninspired?

Dying is not fun.

Maybe, but successfully not dying in deadly situations is one of the most thrilling things you can experience in a game.
Personally speaking of course.

I actually try that in real life. I purposely try to put myself in situations while hiking that might seriously jeopardize me. As for video games, I prefer the trend they are taking now. I am kind of glad that old school way is dying out.

This. The first time you stomped on Titan HM in your Darklight gear with some pugs or Titan EX with your FC/LS was amazing.

In 1.x of ffxiv there were a few level70/90 or whatever mobs that would brutally stomp you. It was fun for certain areas but I wouldn't desire that kind of feeling everywhere I go.
