I guess it's time

[Lorielle]

I actually quite enjoy/enjoyed doing all the things I mentioned. Plus I still log in daily and have a huge "to do" list, that seems to only be added to each content patch. I'm currently sitting on 140 + days of play time on this character alone, and I always have something to do and needs doing. All the content is worthwhile to me, though I suppose some, like yourself, find most of it dull and not worth doing.

The question you should ask yourself is, when you complete all these things, what are you going to do next? 350+ days on my character. While I don't have all jobs to 60(mostly because I eventually got tired of the long grind through the same scenery of dungeons, bored out of my mind in botany and miner because the world itself isn't immersive enough for me to care about it), Relics are pointless to even try because they won't matter in the long run. It's fine to be a completionist, that is a goal you set yourself up for. But know that is different from what the Devs are giving you. That is something you set up yourself to make it lasting. To me, and a few others, just want content that makes it feel like whatever we do actually means something. But this conversation isn't any new. That's what the OP's links are for.

MMOs are all about the hamster wheel. What did you expect?

Then let me rephrase, this particular hamster wheel is very bland and doesn't last long.

In the end, it's all subjective. I particularly before anything, just want to see Eorzea feel more alive.
