What in the game makes you happy?

Glamouring

Even I've fallen prey to Glamours.

Don't necessarily look for pretty things, but I do collect things that Disciples of Magic can wear, particularly Summoner, and tend to take screenshots of said gear (whether they be crap or pretty).

What me happy, hmm there are actually quite a few things:

first of all, the Story: I never really got into the Final Fantasy Lore or story that much back in the day, but FFXIV waked my Interest in it which i am glad of. of cours not all the Games though :P
But yea that is a major point, the story of FFXIV.


The next thing that actually is very important to me is simply the Raid. The actual Endgame Raids that we have. As much as i like to get some good items for my main Character to gear him up etc., the main thing for me is simply the "Thrill" of it.
Beating hard Bosses with a group of 8, working as a Team, the joy of finally getting a fight done for the first time.. I Raid becaus i Love it and i am very dedicated into it, pushing my limits, giving more then just 100%. I want to be there for the team i don't want to be a burden or a liability, Rading is not about "You" it is about "7 other People" you are raiding with and if you are not willing to improve week after week and treat everyone with respect, then you are at the wrong "place" my friend.

And yeah ehre and there glamouring around although im not good at it etc. ..Xd

• Being able to make an HQ aspected item when I'm just barely geared enough to do so. It'll probably be a great victory if I can make an HQ darksteel hook when I'll be just geared enough to make one (a dodore belt should get me over the craftsmanship/control wall) as well.

• When tanking a dungeon goes off without a hitch, especially one that I went in blind on. These days I only run instances when I have to, not when I want to, so the sooner I get in and get out the better.

• (a semi-rant as well) When during FATEs healers that actually heal others, and not just single-targeting some out of the way monster. Same with tanks that actually keep monsters off other players, and not just fight their own personal monster in their own personal space. Nice when random strangers have each others' backs.

At the moment, the one thing that keeps me subscribed is the story. The combat really isn't much to write home about, crafting gets more convoluted with each update, and updates rarely bring anything new to the table that sticks. The story, on the other hand, that's good stuff.

For me, there's usually a burst of activity after a major update, which slowly trickles to a routine of logging in to complete dailies and then logging off. I used to be a lot more invested than I am at the moment, but after seeing the same pattern for updates for 2 years, it's hard to keep a positive outlook.
