Why is "It's something to do" apparently a valid defense?

i rather do the relic than stand outside fc house looking at walls details

at least a goal to do til 3.2 out

and if that is all you have to do outside of doing relics maybe rethink why you believe this game is fun? (myself as well lol)

I stood around my personal house a lot just chatting specifically because I was waiting for the Anima questline--it's all I've wanted since 3.0 launched and now that it's here I'm happy with the game again. :x

Not quite sure myself. After all, there's plenty of other things people can do that are more entertaining (other games for one), so the argument against this grind is pretty solid.

Not only is it grindy it is the same grind all over and more recycled content. I remember when people said FFXI was grindy.. This game blows it away for grindyness if that is a word... FFXIV suffers from nothing but recycled content over and over. Honestly I am to the point where I would rather have less content but good new and different content. I thought Heavensward would add something new and it really didn't other than flying, it was really a map pack with a little story, story was good though just too short for a expansion.

I thought this weapon would bring something new and it is not. I see huge potential in FFXIV but It seems like SE doesn't and I am afraid it will not come now. They seem more focused and what they can do to make more money like spending more time on the cash shop than on good content. The cash shop was supposed to help bring in money for new content, what happened with that? I am loosing faith.

Again I would rather have less content and have good/different content than SE just throwing some cycled content out the door. This game has so much potential someone needs to grab it by the horns and run with it.

That's not a fair observation, I kill lvl 5 mobs in summerford farms for hours because its something to do, and I'm happy with that

It sounds like the same reason people give for climbing mountains. "Because it's there."

[Evangela]

cuz it's the only defense they have.

[Moqi]

It's "if it's not fun, don't do it" and "at least I have something to do" but they ask you to farm content already in the game so why were you not already doing it? It's like they are admitting it's not fun but they're doing it anyway and actually defend it.

Maybe some people are content doing beastman quests, fates, dungeons, and raids as long as they get something out of it. Before 3.15, they weren't getting anything from it and now they are. 3.1 just added Void Ark and 2 dungeons for casual play. Go get your tomestones and your Mhachi Farthing, upgrade your 210 gear, and be happy? I don't understand the problem. People want casual content, then they do it in one day, then a week later they want more. Get over yourself. If you don't want to put in the effort to craft, or do relic, or raid. Then you go log off until the next patch lol.
