Fun stuff to do...

[Jon_00]

Fun is in the title.

Honestly all the tasks in this game are very mundane. You either need to do them all every day to unlock rewards, or run things once a week like ST.

As for crafting, don't get me started please... Crafting is AWFUL, it's a broken system where you need to actually level all crafts up to get all the skills required to craft high level things, that's not fun.

I've cleared T9 and I'm i110, I'm finding no joy in the game.

To reiterate:

this game is just not for you.

...wow. Some of you need to grow up. OP is asking for suggestions on what he could do that might interest him, I'm pretty damn sure he knows what he hasn't done, and hasn't done them because he's not interested. And yet, he gets responses like:

People with only 4 classes to 50 who say their bored and have nothing to do. I mean.. are you even going to attempt to unlock any crafting.. ever? I'm not going to press the issue anymore.. You've explored what, 20% of the games full potential.. All I can say is, this game is just not for you.

Sounds a bit defensive.

OP, have you tried PVP yet? It's not for everyone, but maybe find a nice Frontlines Linkshell and see how it goes?

Also, you uh...strike me as the kind of person that clicks through text and cutscenes as fast as you can. Not that it's a bad thing, but not understanding the lore of the game you're in actually makes the game feel more boring to a lot of people, they just don't know it. If this is the case, why don't you spend time going through the storylines in the Inn? If I was wrong about that assumption, ignore that <_<

That all being said, taking a break from the game is very healthy, and can do wonders for how people think about the game itself. I myself took a break for 4 months, and came back to enjoy the game in a different way then I ever did before. Instead of focusing on progressing ASAP, I now go more slowly and enjoy the game's atmosphere and lore. Not for everyone, but I promise a break could help.

I hope you find something that interests you ^^

Thanks for the support!

And hehe yeah you hit the nail on the head with the 'click through text part', I get the general jist of the story but having cleared Coil so far, I've actually not a single clue what happened.

I'd love to try Frontlines, but I do spend the vast majority of my time being social in-game, talking to lots of people and with the chat restrictions in there - it's not ideal for me.

LALA FIGHT!

Well in my opinion, based on your opinion that nothing is fun, you should probably quit playing the game at least for now. Honestly, if you are not having any fun and none of the things that are available in the game are fun to you, then yeah. It's time you quit.

I get the stigma on crafting. I have gone a long time without getting into crafting. From Beta until 2.35 the highest crafting class I had was my Alchemist (6) followed by my Goldsmith (1), the rest weren't even unlocked.

But ever since the Ixali beastman quests were introduced I've been doing them and using them to level up my crafting jobs, and I'm actually having fun with it so far. Currently only rank 5 (will hit rank 6 tomorrow) on the Ixali rep, but my Alchemist is level 36, my Goldsmith is now lvl 19 and I've unlocked everything except Culinarian and have gotten those classes to level 6-7.

I'm personally finding the Ixali storyline quite fun and interesting, plus I'm trying to get all the beastman tribes to max rep anyway. For me, that's fun and I'm able to accomplish multiple things at the same time with this content.

With my crafting classes I can finally craft dyes now, and craft housing fixtures. So it's kinda nice to be able to do that. Eventually I'll get myself to where I won't have to rely on some other crafter to get the things I want made or have to pay rediculous prices for some things.. and might actually be able to make more gil. I guess I'll see.

Edit: Oh and by the way, GiGi is freaking HILARIOUS!! (npc Mammet in the GSM quests)

You can level all your crafters at once - this way you literally don't need to buy anything except low level materials from guild vendors/fc vendors/residental area vendors. By multiclass levelling you craft all the gear needed for all your jobs, you can only have 1 clothing set for all your crafts and you make ton of gil selling leftovers and converting spiritbonded crafting gear to materia.
I agree that levelling up single crafting job is not fun, especially if all you do is craft 100 ingots till you fall asleep but levelling up all jobs together is much easier, faster and grants profit.

To other people like me, this is fun.

Fun is in the title. ...

If you choose to label all the other choices out there "NO FUN"... then you are done with the game in your own eyes. Why come here and ask us to convince you otherwise?

Is any game fun to people who say it is "NO FUN"? I hate slots at the casinos or any casino/gambling games and they are no fun to me, and so I don't go to places like Vegas because it is no fun. I am sure there will plenty who will tell me otherwise, but they will never convince me.

Bottom line, FUN is subjective. It is what you bring to the game more so than what the game externally provides. Dungeons, open worlds, raids, dailies, crafting, etc. etc. are just game pieces.

There is one aspect that is unique to MMO and that exceed the limits of pieces of that the game provide, that is you can make friends and help other people. Work together build a community But then again that is subjective too, if you find that fun.
