People really need to stop trying to justify achievements and golden saucer as "plenty of things to do" because they can't think of anything else besides the small amount of content we have.
I was sarcastically pointing out how narrow your play focus is by asking whether you capped your MGP since capping MGP would be one hell of a grind (maxint MGP....), but would represent a similarly limited scope of game play.

This isn't my first MMORPG, perhaps you think I am naive because I'm not bored?

Here is what I am hearing from you and posters with a similar point of view;
"This game doesn't give me enough content that specifically matches my narrow need so it's boring."

This game has a ridiculous amount of content if you look at the game as a whole. It caters to a very wide audience of many skill levels and goals. The developers have to balance what they create to cover all the different areas of the game. If more was put into the specific content you want to see, less would go elsewhere, and someone else would be annoyed. So they try to strike a balance. The fact is, in a big game such a this with a broad audience as FFXIV has, it's not really possible for the developers to keep up with your need for additional hardcore content over and above everything else. For players with a broader view of the content, there is literally so much to do, it is sometimes difficult to know where to start.

I understand that from your point of view the content is relatively limited because you play a specific subset of the game. Short of this becoming a hardcore only game, that's unlikely to change.

There are indeed things for you to do, you need not be bored. However, you just don't want to do them, which is fine, and your own decision. You know that FFXIV is not a hardcore game already, anyone coming to it will know it's not hardcore if they do even minimal research. IMHO, it's unrealistic to expect something other than what we have, and somewhat pointless to post about being bored.
