. . .
On top of that the enjoyment of earning levels and gears has completed been deleted.

Things to do that weren't there in ARR:
- 3 completely new jobs and their job quests
- 5 new skills for 10 other jobs and new level 50+ job quests
- a new raid
- new dungeons
- new trials
- the main story
- new side quests
- some unsoloable fates and fate chains with special rewards

To answer the question, yes it seems like a case of high expectations. The above things could easily give you over 100 hours of gameplay even if you only do each of them once. You should ask yourself why you are not enjoying leveling or gearing up. Perhaps you are burnt out? Or maybe you are trying to force yourself into a progression playstyle because it's what most people are doing. If you don't enjoy earning levels and gear, you could focus on other more casual MMO activities for a chance, like developing weird strategies for fights with different class combinations, pushing your class to it's limit by soloing increasingly hard instances, finding hunts before anyone else, exploring vistas and taking screenshots, helping new people or your fc, role play, making and participating in community events, money making, professions or getting vanity items (glamour, pets, mounts, house). If none of these activities entertain you, I'm not sure what you are looking for.

Edit. Nevermind I know now what you are looking for. FFXI, which is still available to play... It's literally impossible to please a player that's craving for a different game. <_<

Out of the things I mentioned you haven't yet done:
- unlocked 1 out 3 new jobs and gotten any of them above 31
- gotten 8 out of 10 older jobs to 60
- completed the available new raid
- done Ravana ex
- done some unsoloable fates and fate chains with special rewards

Complaining everything is easy, while having barely scratched end game or tried playing with changed rotations and new jobs...
