Is anyone else disappointed by the lack of Long Term Goals?

FF14 has the tools to provide long term goals, they chose to see it as a threat though and allocated it to non threatening but unique items. Veteran rewards are curious but lets be real. I don't care if I ever get most of them.

I don't think there is such a thing as long term goals in this game. That was lost with the ability to cap your level within a few days time. I'm not trying to bring back the old ffxi vs ffxiv debate but what kept that game going so long when it first started was simply how long it took to level up a job, that in of itself was a long term goal... Well till abyssea killed the game.

Anyway, at this point the only kinds of long term goals I could ever possibly see in this game is another continual quest line for a very rare piece of gear similar to what relic weapons went through.
