I really want to love this game again. I have met some really great people and have some really great memories of things we did together... but almost all of that is from v1 ~ 1.23.

ARR basically killed the community we had from v1 because it's just so convenient and easy to go off and do your own thing with a random group of people. Our old LS/FC is still there but we hardly play together anymore. I've met nice people since the start of ARR, but there is very to make the bonds of friendship stronger.

I'm a healer main and I want to play with and support my friends, not random people who I will probably never see again. So I usually choose to wait and not do content until I can do it with people I enjoy being with. But because of that, most of the time I find myself just sitting there in Limsa... waiting... with everyone coming in and out of DF at different times, and never getting 8 friends together. It's like herding cats... and most of our LS are Hyur and Lalafell, and I'm the Miqo'te!

I really wanted to love this game... but maybe I'm just too selfish for wanting to play with my friends. Maybe it's just not for me anymore. Maybe it's time to stop.
This may seem a bit too obvious and I apologize if so, but have you thought about organizing this stuff yourself rather than waiting on others? I spend most of my in game time trying to organize parties for myself and FC mates and it can be hard going sometimes when people want to do different things and they all have different schedules. Something I've noticed though, when I say "Hey guys, I think you're awesome and we should go kill Mog or something. What do you want to do? Do you have anything you need to do for an atma book or anything? It's better to go with friends. ", two things will happen: 1: They say "Oh, didn't realized you wanted to hang out." 2. "Yeah, sure!"
