    Maybe we should be glad that we are bored.

    It means we aren't addicted.

    Look at slot machines, they have zero what we would call content yet the people throw whole buckets of tokens in them because of the "reward mechanics".

    Hopefully SE will continue to stay clear of such "tactics". At most, release smaller, more frequent patches so players will only be bored for short contiguous intervals.

    Edit: If you aren't bored, good for you. Then this post isn't address at you.

    Edit2: Wow, I just made the observation that SE isn't (extensively) using Skinner Box techniques to keep us playing and it ... Fanboys. /sigh

    Clearly, the best Final Fantasy character is Locke Cole.

    There's a lot of things to do in this game that keeps me busy. Ive been playing for a year and I'm far from being bored yet.

    Too much to do to get bored yet. But people that try to play 4-5 hours a day or more I can see getting worn out and running out of things already.

    You have to be using the royal "we" because you certainly aren't talking about me.

    I never assumed you were talking to me specifically. The issue is you are trying to talk for me, and for others who may not share you opinion.

    Assumption.

    If you hear a guy on the street tell his friends, "Hey, we should hit the gym.", do you interrupt him and say "I don't need to go to the gym!"?

    Except this isn't a conversation you are having with your buddy on the street. This is you holding a rally in the square (well more like standing on a box in the square trying to get people to listen) telling everyone within the sound of your voice that they are bored and perhaps its a good thing.
