I still don't get the obsession with taking a break..

I do not need a break from my other hobbies, and I do not do them 24-7, nor do I do FFXIV 24-7...soo why should I have to "take a break" from something I barely play because there is nothing left for me to do and the content is boring and there is 0 FC content, little social interaction, no open world content for FC/groups STILL...3 years later..

It is mind boggling, this response. I work on my cosplay costumes about as much as I play XIV, I have never once said "OH I need to take a break from costumes for a few months!!" why would I? Making costumes doesn't get boring. I never "took a break" from XI as I said earlier either. I would play it as I pleased and never ever had a dull or boring moment.

XIV gets boring because the same meta being used since day one of 2.0. Tomes, tomes, lockouts..and more lockouts. The relic is always the same quest with a slight spin, its always use tomestones to get said random item. It...is...boring. Its like..imagine with my costuming hobby, making the same costume over and over and over..just slightly different size. Then yeah, that is when it becomes WORK and boring. With my costumes I make a different one each time and it is fun, or I can go back and forth and work on different ones at the same time. That is how I felt with XI.

There was so much to do in XI that when I stopped working on one thing I could work on something else. This game doesn't allow that because it all comes down to lock outs and tomes. So no, taking a break won't solve anything. Like I said..most people who take breaks from seeing it myself..they don't come back. And before the whole "go play ffxi if you like it so much" the XI I played is long gone..since 2010 at least. ~_~

That's the problem with the younger generation playing online Mmos today. They want to rush to cap level just so they can go around running like a meeseeks going. "Look at me! I'm Mr. Lvl 60!". I've swapped servers multiple times with friends and I ENJOY playing this game playing with people to keep me going. If you just play through this game doing just the story with just one class you WILL burn out. That's going to happen to ANY MMO though. Hell I been on my Rouge for a few days after switching servers and at 45..

Hell I'm in love with the game, but even I have my limits that I need to take a break from it. There is MORE than just crafting, and leveling. I play around in the company house, RP a bit, Play the Card game and laugh at sucking at it and when I'm uber bored I sing the chocobo theme. o-o

To sum it up, name a game that has EVERYTHING you are looking for in a game. Truth is there isn't.

>-> I'll take that as a compliment.
The sad truth is everyone wants "this" or "that" never wanting to "earn" it. The first final fantasy online god forbid if you ever died after just leveling up. You are being fed with a golden spoon in this one. People continue to compare companies to ones that have been doing it way the heck longer. I would say Blizzard support is second to none because I can literally contact and have a 1:1 conversation with a GM in a heartbeat. AT the same time I lost all respect playing WoW when they just GAVE people max level characters just for buying the game. This is coming from someone who played where a few hrs only gave you a hand full of exp. Grinding Would be the term.

Where here you have more flexibility, I've swapped and level another class in a heart beat just to get to a dungeon/raid I still get the same odds of finding my gear I need for my other class.

Guild Wars 2 does a lot of things right, instead of trying to copy paste WoW devs should start to look at some GW2 ideas, i just don't play it anymore because the expansion came late and it's becoming dated (graphics).

Not really. When you get an expension pack or a DLC you expect NEW content, not copy paste. What did they add that's different than 2xx content and I talk about things we do, that's different? Diadem, it sounded amazing on paper, flying to a spot and fight with your fc but no, it went to shit. I like they did try but grinding like that for a small reward wasn't worth it. Ofc burnt out also means doing the same shit again and again which we all know happened since 2xx

I personally want to know what content people keep asking for.
I figured new classes and a story would be considered content.

something other than going in and turning in Allagan tomestones of Verb at rowena's desk(s) for umpteenth time for the material armor of adjective would be a nice start.

Hey, sorry for slow reply. I forgot I even posted this, but yah. New classes and a story isn't really content. Yes story is super nice in this game, no doubt, however.... Content should been a step up, it's the same pattern we had in 2xx and I want it to elvole and grow bigger. More raids in different ways, more challenges, more fc content, more things that is rewarding and fun to do and not burning you out and make it look like a job. That would be a great start.

This thread should be re-titled:"THE OFFICIAL I AM BURNT OUT THREAD".

This thread has more feedback than most threads in this forum and reddit together even the OP's post in the past. Why? First of all, look at how the content has been in the past vs now. It's different skins and same thing. Things I did 1 year and half ago is happening again. Ixal quest = moogle quest currently. How is that even burning out? I thought content meant new things to do not a replay. Feels like an offline game than anything. Last time I checked we pay sub for this to evolve not to backstep content.

1. To be fair, there is a ton of content in the game. While I would like more in the areas that I partake in, I acknowledge that some content just does not interest me and I choose not to partake in it. That does not mean that it isn't there though..

Hey agan Reiryuu, how are you!? Been a while I had a discussion with you! Anyways. Yes we do, but the content we currently have is the same we had 2 years ago. New skin just same thing.
Look at my reply up to the other persons how ixal quest is a copy of moogle one, it's the same thing, 99% copy. The content we have isn't even used by 50% by players. I'm prety sure many find gathering boring as hell and only want or need to do it for money, it's a nice trait to have but me personaly have lvl 0 on my gathering because it's boring. Why should I forced to do something when it's not fun? Remember when Yoshida said if it's not fun you are doing it wrong

Then let me add, content we have doesn't have a high value. When I say value its very small reward in them. Niddhogg extreme 6 main stats more and that's it, for casters its 1 more weapon dmg the rest isnt. Then another thing to add, adding more egi glamours etc or more doesnt mean more content. This is just another added thing, which I do like to have but content!!! More things to do, different mechanics, way to obtain gear more social events etc. I'm not so good at adressing what we can have or should have but seen soo many post here and on reddit and many ideas are amazing!
