What keeps you playing?

[Yoninxi]

Was wondering what keeps everyone playing. Lately I find my self having to force myself to play the game cause I pay for it every month. I usually just log in, reset my retainers, then try to find something to do.

After 2.3 hit, sure it was fun for a week, but then then I realized most of the game got killed off for me and everything became less of a chore and more monotonous. Didn't need to run dungeons anymore cause hunts became the 1 stop shop. Stopped doing hunts because of the drama, and now it's impossible to find consistant pug groups that are competent for fights. Trying my hardest to hold on til 2.4

What keeps you playing?

The willingness to stay for a while and see where the game heads in the future wether good or bad is what keeps me playing

As Sev Valen says. I'm waiting to see the Gold Saucer, Ninja and Expansion to see where it's going to decide if I continue, or not.

It's a great game, a few hiccups, but the World is not challenging enough, no penalty for death (not talking to have something harsh like losing rare Items but XP I wouldn't mind) except repairs, everyone is doing their stuff, some crafts, some gather, some fights, so hard to get into a static for end content, and then once it's done and you don't want to gear an alt cause you lvl him up and find it doesn't suits you, gil sellers (gil buyers), bots, bad behavior of some that ruins your runs.

I don't know really. So I stick closely to Friends to socialize and do content, until new content is added.

I would vouch for once-a-month a small patch that gives us fresh air, versus 3 months that gives a ton (and yes they do a good job so far)

All-in-all, It's an ok game, the first since a very long time that I pay a sub for, and enjoy doing it.

When you need to find something in a game to keep you hooked, OP, perhaps it's time to reflect and see if another game would fill the role of Fun.

Some take breaks and come back, other don't. such is the way of this Gaming business.

I prefer new content that gives value over Glamour, but we have to please everyone, and it's not that easy ^^

Good job SE so far, can't wait for the Expansion to come!

Have fun guys, and see you tonight!
