@Miles: I'm actually very much fine with this. It's what PF already can be for many people, based on what others have said. I'd willingly keep giving it a shot, especially because the alternative is... well, pretty much nothing.

Maxed gather/craft already, red scrips by Thursday evening; Cleared BisEX, RavEX is next on my list but has same issues and also no reward since Eso is out; Or do outdated content. Otherwise it's Exp, Trial, PvP, Map, then hope there's people to chat, or subject myself to unfun grinding of alt classes I'll never use. F2P games offer more at this point.

A big part of my issues with this could be resolved if the content outside of raiding right now was actually worth doing and to keep doing past a certain point. I don't even do AN because it became old hat 3 weeks after its arrival; if they hadn't killed the gear so quickly there I might actually have something to keep me sated until I can either make the time or until they add it to DF in 3.X
