Game getting boring?

[Yumi_umi]

I feel like a potato when i think about gearing up now lol..
What's the point when ur not a raider and gear will get replaced in a few months. Final CT will probs drop the new upgrade items from FCoB and it'll be like ok here you go have fun with it.
It was cool to gear up back then in 2.0 cuz ur like
Omg im level 1 and i has noob gear but someday i'll get to wear that sexy i90 job gear!!!
Now its sigh, brb guys i need to go cap tomes. Anyone wanna do ex roulette with me?
The game got really boring for me despite the things i still need to accomplish, but the real problem is getting the motivation to do it.
Maybe i'll start raiding in 3.0 as things will probs be different dunno and not concerned too much lol

This is how gearing up any MMO with continuing updates go. You're probably looking for the wrong game genre if this sort of thing turns you off.

This is how gearing up any modern WoW clone MMO with continuing updates go.

There we go.

The power growth curve is too extreme and major advances should come with cap increases (expansions) not with 20 ilvl every 6 months. Ugh.

Deffo and speaks so much about one of my major gripes. I'm okay with gear progression and I do like it. At least when its done at a reasonable time rate so as to where it doesn't feel overburdening. An expansion every year or two for gear upgrades? Fine. Perfect! Stay with it, don't break the mold. Gear upgrades every six months? Um, no cos then it feels like all thats being done is just chasing gear and it wears thin after a while.

That and a system on top of gear progression to where the rewards are more permanent and will never be thrown away and will stay useful for the life of the game. Its just as fun to work for something that can be kept and will benefit a character as it is to upgrade gear in a new expansion.

Speaking of that expansion and I guess that's where my hope is in a sense of Vanilla FFXIV is the gearing up part and things taper off to a more horizontal progression model in the expansion. Something more then patches just being the same thus far.

*Here's the new story
*Here's the three new dungeons you'll be living in the next 6 months
*Here's the new token bought gear.
*Here's the new Crystal Critter of the month fight.
*Here's the new EX version of said Crystal Critter.

I miss farming dark matter in 1.0. But to answer the question; No, absolutely not. Played since XIV 1.0 beta and I'll keep playing.

How in the world are you not level 50 in all DoW DoM, not have a single 50 DoL or DoH, your Warrior doesnt have anything above Zenith, and you have no Original Lodestone 1.0 version character?

And a November 2011 join date (before the 2.0 beta forum was even created, and 1.xx was winding alive and kicking). In other word don't make assumptions based on what people have and do not have levelled or where they are with their relic progression.

I asume the op has every class to lvl110 and 120 and every nexus ,cleared fcob , got every HA gear and weapon , every doh and dol maxed out . Right?

Different people play and enjoy the game for different reasons, not everyone has to enjoy chasing the new iLvl curve every few months much less sink 100s of hours into Coil or Relic upgrading before they "deserve" to be bored.

I get on for a few hours every day or so, its fine if you play that way. But for those that want to play longer I guess there's not much to do.

Getting bored? Not really, i am just overwhelmed.

Working on:

Turn 12 FCOB
Ninja animus
Supras DoL and DoH
PVP Rank
Dailies to craft myself off hands tools.
Crafting tomato relish to get mastercraft demimateria.
I bought a large house, built a garden so i need soil, seeds and craft furnitures.
Spiritbond gear to obtain materias.
Maelstrom achievements (supply - leves mission)
Selling turns and primals.
Capping poetics and soldiers to gear my alter jobs.
Play with other jobs than my main (ninja - bard) to learn about that jobs.

This is how i personally used to feel. Always had so much to do. I hit a wall when:

1. Alexandrite became absolutely absurd to obtain in patch 2.4
2. I got 4 i70 tools for crafting and realized I dont want more crafting gear because I mostly only craft to sustain myself (ie crafting my own HQ food, potions etc.) and the curve for crafting i110 gear, or any food that is extremely only slightly better than 2 star was by no means worth the grind that i dont really enjoy compared to battle classes (just my personal taste in gameplay.)
3. To gear out all 10 jobs with full i110 or better i have to fight RNG and "new players" to fights and then watch while another person gets the loot in the party finder party loot "2 items" switch over to my piece of gear then lot and out roll me when it takes me 20-40 runs to even see my piece drop, then have that same RNG while trying to obtain sands for the tome gear you need.
4. Not only do i need to farm an absurd amount of Soldiery for gear, alexandrite maps, Scroll inks, animus books, I also need to obtain sands to upgrade gear, as well as farm materia in the same dungeons i do for animus, Nexus light, and to get tomes

All of that gets EXTREMELY repetitive.

So to answer this question

I asume the op has every class to lvl110 and 120 and every nexus ,cleared fcob , got every HA gear and weapon , every doh and dol maxed out . Right?

Its not fun to fight RNG, "new players" to fights you have cleared over 200 times and watch every single mistake a new person makes, when they think they have it on farm, then watch them get the gear you've been after for 20+ runs.

Then do the same 4 sets of content: Primals, Crystal Tower, Coil, and Dungeons, over and over and over and over and over and over and over, at each patch over and over and over, because Square-Enix doesnt want to add new content, and when they do (hunts) they do so with an unbalance, and you freak RAGE cause "its so easy" then it becomes completely and utterly useless and extremely boring because you wait 3 hours running around hoping something pops, (because the website isnt being used properly due to lack of playerbase) then when it does you wait 20 minutes for 8 or so people to show up, then find out 2 or more other mobs were killed while you were waiting on your "party to fill" to kill the hunt youre at for a whopping 20 seals and 20 soldiery.

No getting all the gear for every job was fun in 2.0, but, 2.2 and especially 2.4 its not fun and they are slowly locking out people who do play more than one job because the vast majority only play one job and they cry after 2 weeks cause they "dont have anything to do."


If they dont want to be hypocrites and nerf coil and watch the people who only do coil cry because "its too easy" so new players can catch up, but then not properly nerf Animus, Novus and Nexus, to be on par with turn 9 difficulty, so new players can catch up on their relic, and older players who play more than one job can get their other 9 weapons. Then not expand on content such as adding content to spiritbond, or add other avenues to accomplish "daily" tasks such as obtaining tomes, upgrading relic, or adding content to spice up crafting, to break up the monotony, then yes they have caused a problem for another type of the player base.

If they re-added B rank hunts i'd be perfectly content. I can only do so many FATEs, dungeons etc a week until need something different.

I have no clue why there are no end game Leve quests or Guildhests, the system is already there they need to just expand on it. Break up monotony, dont add to it please.
