Now, let me preface this in that, for all my bitching, I don't think there's anything REALLY wrong with this game. So like, I'm not going all "RAWR TORCHES AND PITFORKS AND BLARGH."

God, this game is gorgeous. I love just... sitting around in it, being in it, seeing the sights. But I feel so unfulfilled, and I don't know what to do. I just got back two (and a half) weeks ago and I'm already bored. I'm i91 (no big feat, I'm well aware,) but without a reliable static, that's as far as I'm going. I haven't been around long enough for the soldiery gear, and hunts are bloated, over-dramatic messes to begin with for me to go after the Gloam gear, Syrcus tower is one piece a week (and most of it is mediocre to begin with,) and no PuGs want a first timer that's sub i100.

... Reading htat over, it kind of sounds like I'm saying gear is too hard to get, and I am definitely *NOT.* It's just a time investment that I haven't been able to sink in yet.

And I thought, y'know, maybe I should just roll up another class. Warrior and Bard both look tons of fun, and they look *amazing* in their i90 gear... But then, ugh, leveling. There's no quests anymore, and while it's a little faster, it feels SO MUCH longer. Dungeon, dungeon, fate, fate, leve leve leve, dungeon fate fate dungeon fate leve. It's all just mindless, half-AFK grinding.

I don't know. Nothing seems fun anymore. Maybe this is just the wrong game for me, but I want to like it. It's gorgeous, the setting is amazing, but I just can't sink myself into the immersion like I did the first time.

What do I doooo. ;~;
