Losing Interest - What am I missing?

[Dijana]

As others have said, pre 50 is just the beginning. 2.1-2.55 content also has fetch quests and each patch's story starts off slow but get better. They're trying to spread out story across every level so you've got to expect some kind of padding, WoW has plenty of fetch quests too although that game mixes it up a bit by changing how you do the fetching and killing. The overall story of the game I enjoy, after you've done it and forget about all the dull bits. It really comes together by the end, and heavensward is amazing. Even if you sub again, there's a fair bit of content before you could actually access HW so there's no point in buying it right away.


To be honest, FFXIV isnt the type of game I like, I prefer sandbox games rather than themepark, but I stick around because having friends makes this game faaar better. Im not sure what Mateus is like, but any of the legacy servers are more likely to have bigger communities and make it easier to find people. Finding an FC or social LS will help things and feel far more enjoyable than doing everything in duty finder.

Each time you've come back to the game have you started a new character? There's an armory bonus, which means when you are on a class lower than whatever your main/highest is, you'll be getting bonus exp, so playing new characters each time isn't a good idea. The tank jobs are all fairly straight forward because they have a lot to keep track of in groups, so they can feel pretty dull. Healers are busier, I dont play whm because I found it too simplistic, but scholar and astrologian were great fun. The DPS can go either way. MNK and NIN are faster and trickier, DRG...I dunno, I got bored of that but a lot of people like it, I never took it past 34. BRD is kinda dull up to 50 but really changed in HW, Im told it's much busier now. MCH is also a busy job and fun. BLM I've never played past 50 though I think it didn't change much, it felt sorta boring. SMN is very busy especially past 50 and a lot of fun. I can go 30-50 on a new job in about 2 days, 1-30 probably not much longer so if you are in an FC that uses the exp buffs, have rested bonus, and use food you can try out other jobs easily.

But if the game isn't for you, there's no sense in continuing to spend money on it if you just can't enjoy it.

Lol
That's why you shouldn't judge classes you haven't played xD
I think except for BRD, there is no other class that changed THAT extremely how you play it compared between 50 and 60.
