You only get out of this game what you put into it, I think. I'm extremely indecisive and there is a lot to do, so sometimes i just sit there rocking back and forth wandering what to do: Marks? Roulettes? Leves (crafting), Level another DoW? Try (and fail) to get rich? Stock up my retainers and gather? Level my Chocobo? Help that person in FC? Try (and fail) to make friends that want to do the same things as me? Try to contribute positively to a community filled with hate over hunts and other stressful parts of the game?

I played since beta 3, burned myself out, my friends played less, I moved from Fc to Fc trying to find one just right, tried (and failed) to make my own FC, and eventually quit for 3 months. Forcing myself to be hardcore in order to progress didn't work, now I don't even care, the simple things are why i still play, and maybe i will make the right friends who will help me out and who I can help.
