What keeps you playing FFXIV?

[Kahnom]

Unemployment.

This wins all.

Capping Lores. I wont get invited to extreme trials because I haven't cleared them before. I have watched tons of videos but I learn more doing it ingame.

That is when you create a learning PF, and then you can do it?

Create the party if one for you doesn't exist.

Outside of being there when they're new, make friends with raiders and ask them for help with clears. FCs, PF, etc, rarely work, although advertising a first-timer bonus for really old stuff like Ifrit EX might get a response.

• Level sync: I can actually run stuff without being supplanted by overgeared players (although I'm not sure if end-game stuff is like this or not).

• Crafting: You actually craft in this game. In WoW you just assembly line everything. Plus, the crafting and combat level requirements are almost identical in this game unlike WoW ie. I don't have to have a crafting level of 50 in order to make a level 10 item, so it'll always be useful.

• More Group Content: FATEs (WoW had their own version of this, but not until the Draenor expansion, and even then I don't think a whole lot of people did them), Guildhests, Trial, Leveling, level 50/60, Expert, Extreme (?), and MSQ roulettes give you more options to work with. In WoW it was . . . dungeons and raids . . . Not quite the most variety. :|

I'm more involved in content since transitioning over to tank.

If you don’t prefer the side quests, crafting, gathering, glamour, mount/minion farming, raiding, housing, mini games, story, primal fights, 24-man raids, sightseeing, beast tribes, dungeons, seasonal events, leveling multiple classes, mentoring, making gil

done = I did it all to the point that it's not fun for me and rewards don't cut it
no = it's not fun for me in the first place and rewards don't cut it

Like mostly people here, it's basically my friends and FC members.

I started raiding as healer (new to healing) and it's pretty fun, i have to learn a second time the fights i mastered as a DPS ^^

[LunaFaye]

There's not many games out there at the moment that would be interesting. Might as well stick around till that changes.
