So, I played FFXIV a long, long time ago when ARR first launched. Got a Monk to level 38ish, but got bored and quit for years. Came back, and I've leveled a bunch of classes to ~15-18. But, after being back for less than two weeks, I'm already starting to burn out pretty hardcore. I love the story, the music is amazing, I like the world, but the combat is just so painfully slow and simple.

Does the combat pick up later on in the game?

I'm just kind of lost. I play League with my brother and his friends, but I don't enjoy it playing alone. So I need an MMO with good PvE, and at least passable PvP. I used to play WoW (played for 12+ years), but I just don't have much fun with it now that they've simplified it so much. I absolutely love GW2, and the raids in it are super fun, but no one pugs anything, and there's not a lot to do outside of the raids. I tried TERA, BnS and the like, I tried Wildstar (I liked it, but it died), and all that.

FFXIV is kind of my last hope.
