Strip any game down to a basic format and you get the same stuff over and over.

Wow attempts to keep the game fresh top such a horrid degree the games become a joke - several things that people spent hours on are now pointless and obsolete. Thats the complete wrong idea.

ff14 doesn't offer a lot by ways of innovation (though deep dungeon is super fun) but it offers a far more involved story- breaching the gap between single player story games and mmos. If youre not enjoying the journey to get there then maybe this game ISNT for you.
It was the plight of a certain character that kept me coming back.

Also, leanr to manage your time. Spend HOURS on one game youre gonna get bored. slow down, enjoy other games. And square isnt psychic- you need a coherent idea of what you want before changes can be made, otherwise youre not much different to a kid throwing a tantrum.
