    The first thing I look for when I feel am bored of the "popular" content such as Ifrit, is go take a look at my own list and see what I have not done. From there I decide hmm, which sounds more enticing today. I ask if I'd rather go alone, or bring along a couple people form my our LS. Perhaps I will ask if they need anything done, and go help them instead because adventuring with others is a lot more fun than running around alone to me. Maybe I don't even want to do something on my list and go take out a high Level Molboro in the Black Shroud. Some of these offer physical reward, some to not. Sometimes it is about personal challenge and personal gratification and not about the gil/exp/equipment/material reward. Think outside the box for a change, there is a an entire world out there.

    SE has provided the world to us to explore, expecting them to hold my hand and guide my day to day actions seems pretty silly in my opinion. Forgive me then for not articulating in novella form when I post these types of responses. I actually take into consideration that the OP might have done the obvious things they enjoy, but are looking for more enjoyment. The point I am making goes well beyond the simple "see! you haven't done everything! so there." If I wrote a more than a paragraph, would most people even take the time to read it? If I simply said "think outside the box," would that please you more as a response? Or did you peg me as a troll for attempting to provide something tangible for the OP in the form of a checklist instead of a well written response?

    Can we move on now and continue helping the OP find meaningful things to do instead of attacking specific responses, and each other for that matter?
    You're correct in that many will not take the time to read longer posts. Intention aside, and I concede that yours was not born of malice and so is not trolling (my apologies) your post still proposes the OP do things they may not consider to be content, but that you evidently do, which is fine. That's why I say it's interesting in that these types of posts are often phrased as "there is nothing to do" and not "There is nothing for me to do that I want to do". Also your initial "Start with completing these!" was all I had to go on in your shortened post which, in my opinion, implied less of a polite suggestion that perhaps the OP should consider your very broad view of "content" and more throwing things in the OPs face.

    Re: your first line I have travelled a reasonable amount nationally and internationally for work/pleasure and no the act of travelling to places isn't really relevant to me. It's curious sure but I don't often make it an end in itself. If I go somewhere and see something new great, if I don't also great. I don't know if your comment was meant as an insult or something, one can never be entirely sure in text form... Wherever you go, there you are.

    Also, and this point is greatly abbreviated because I'm lazy, this isn't Minecraft or Terraria. If I wanted to invent my own content and "think outside the box" I'd go do that, which I already do. I expect more from this game than "use your imagination and invent your own content".
