I've played this game since early access of ARR. It's my first MMO and I discovered I loved the crafting and gathering very early on (my first 50 was FSH, as was my first 60).

Got all crafts and gathers to 60 tonight, bought a load of the not perfect, but quite nice gear on the MB, and realised that I just no longer care. I probably should have realised that when I bought the gear and didn't try to craft it myself.

Crafting and gathering has been the game for me. Lots of fun while chatting with friends I've made, swapping mats around, making things for friends to help them do their leves, sending a set of level 50 crafting gear to a friend when I notice they are at level 49, etc. I don't even have a battle class to 60 yet, mainly because I don't like dungeons and haven't run the library. As an aside, I main BRD, so the changes there were a whammy as well ... lol.

But .... I'm just not feeling it now. Gathered some Birch Logs tonight to get the last bit of XP I needed on CRP, and the constant mounting a flying mount, wait a second for the other two nodes to show, fly there, work out if I need to fly up or down (I haven't gathered a lot so it's not second nature yet), is just tedious.

So, as the title says, I'm sad, because I think I've run out of game. I'm gonna miss the friends I've made, but unless something drastic changes my sub will expire in about 6 weeks and I will have to move on.

It was a fantastic game for two years, and now it just feels broken (to me ... if it's fine for you, then that's also fantastic).
