Commitment issues

[pikster]

Where do I start...

I have played since 1.0 along with 7 good years of FFXI and a bit of WOW as filler. I love this game, I really want it to be the best MMO out there but I just cant seem to commit.

I guess you could say I am casual, I have a few hours a night to play and most of the weekend and I am just finding my time being so wasted on this.

I think the reason I am feeling this is I have realized that HW is just ARR with a new coat of paint, and for the most part that is fine. ARR was great to begin with but there just doesn't seem to be anything NEW. ARR 2.0, hit level cap, do your roulette's, coil, maybe craft / gather. Log off. HW, hit level cap (tedious btw), do your roulette's, Alex, maybe craft / gather. Log off.

Maybe I am just expecting too much, after all in this part of XI's life cycle you had dynamis, sky / sea, HNM's. Lots of stuff amusing everyone and sideways progression in gear. Now this is just repeating itself with every patch, its the definition of a broken record. NEW patch! 3 new dungeons to replace the expert roulette and a new Ilevel, maybe a new raid. 1 month later, bored...

If they just gave us more ways to play, more things to do outside, more ways to gear your character and really customize it I might be able to commit to this, but until then I think its time for a break

P.S Dont get me started on the players sometimes, 1 day after alex launch and PF already populated with "No Noob" "Bonus = Kick". Get real... Even WOW doesn't have that level of arrogance.
