Why do you keep playing FFXIV ?

[MistyMew]

I tend to do daily expert (just started those last week)...send out retainers, FC airship and do daily hunts with a good friend.

I have 0 interest in the 8 man raids or pvp so they dont count for me.
That about sums it up.

Housing (creation) is completely mindless, it doesn't offer anything to do on an ongoing basis.

I have all crafts/dol stuff leveled ..master books , red scrip nightmare is not my idea of fun so I am not concerned with gathering those..at times mine or gather some mats to sell but for the most part im not in game very much anymore.

Have all the glamour gear that I like already.
Hoping 24 man raid will be somewhat enjoyable, we shall see

Its a good game, for a low cost.
I play a variety of games anyway to fulfill my current mood lol

I've been playing for 8 months now and I still love it. I do my weekly Eso farming, level my classes, do treasure hunting, raids etc with my fc. There's always something for me to do.

Earning gils for the inevitable new housing plot. Level all class to 60 (slow and easy). Seal Rock, I kind of hooked to it, so I do it at least once a day now.

I've been working on getting at least all the combat classes to at least 50. I also get on to talk to friends and help my FC.

I love it all. Always very busy with pve, pvp, craft, gather, side content and social with lovely friends.

Genuinely curious, what do you mean by PvE specifically?

I've been really struggling with the lack of PvE content once you hit 60 T_T All I really do now is raid on raid nights, roulettes, then it's either fluff or gathering/crafting. I kinda wish this game had more quests, ironic as that sounds. Repeatables and more sidequests would be great!

Well I do every daily roulette, daily and weekly hunt bills, dungeon and fate and levequest spam to level up all 13 battle jobs, occasionally do raid normal difficulty.

I can see people running out of content when they only play one job and then stop doing anything. Playing every job takes an enormous amount of time, I've been grinding for months now since the expansion released.

Friends. The rest... a lot of boredom but have other games to take up some of my time each day and it seems to be helping. Means that when I do log in I log in to play something for a short-long time and not just sit around. Need to diversify more - even with every lil bit being interesting it's basically can't do PvP with friends due to GC, can't be bothered with the crafting grind - it's just so annying right now, sure I'll get everything to 60 but no realy hurry got until 4.0 to do so. Sure I do enjoy raiding but that is again something to do for a few hours and be done with. Spread out a bit each day... it's a nice diversion. But I'll never understand the people that log on tuesday grind through everything and then log off for the rest of the week... it's like... what's the point then...

[TheAzureDream]

Raiding with my FC static 3 evenings a week, capping my Esoterics and occasionally working on levelling a Dark Knight to level 60 (already got a Bard and Scholar levelled up).

Otherwise I'm playing MGS5 ATM (helps that I'm on hols atm).

At the moment:
Chat with FFXIV mates.
Do Duty Roulette EX every day, or farm it all in one day if I'm unable to play on other days (that can get painfully boring).
Beast tribe dailies (bomb mount soon!).
Work on getting Kirin every other night.
Mini Cactpot everyday, and then cry because I never seem to win anything after winning 10,000 two days in a row.
Tell myself I'm going to level a crafter class, but quit after 10-20 minutes. This happens every other week.
PvP when I feel like getting frustrated for whatever reason.
Alexander 3 for fun sometimes, the only part of Alexander that I consider to be a fun fight really. No boring robots.
The most important thing, glamour. Go look around for potential glamour sets, and put them together (unless they cost a lot of gil).

And that's probably it, I don't do too much but it's enough to keep me logging whenever I feel like playing, and enough to keep me subscribed.
