Content drought....

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

I started years after XI launch and managed just fine.

Doesn't mean it wasn't a problem. Otherwise, wouldn't the game have peaked higher than 5-600k subs?

I couldn't even get to the point where I could unlock subjobs, and not for a lack for trying. The people in the LSs I was in were never up for helping in, so after 3 weeks of that, I quit.

You've done everything else?
Hunt log?
Beast tribes?
Sight-seeing?
Leveled everything up to 70?
Gotten all achievements?

Or is it just that there isn't content you like to do at the moment. In which case, not so much a drought and more a matter of perspective.

Tried leveling crafters or alt classes or something? theres normally always something to do, I would hardly call what FFXIV gets "Content drought" I've played games with ACTUAL content drought and know what that is.

These 2 things, are not content. When leveling and achievement hunting become viewed as a top thing the game has to offer in the form of content, you know that content is in a sad state.

So tired of seeing this as the number one reason. You can have interesting and fun long term content in game, that isn't that list that everyone spouts about anytime someone asks for content.

Oh I see, so this is a drought of content "that I like" thread. mmm gotcha

Oh come on. It's literally maybe a couple weeks before a new patch.

The thing is, though, it's still content. Just not "main story content" or "content I like." FATEs are still content. All those NPCs that have quests that don't really give you anything are still "content."

"Interesting" and "fun long term content" is 100% subjective to each person. What you consider "interesting" and "fun long term content", I may find a total bore and vice versa.

If this happened always only a couple weeks before a patch, that would be one thing.

But this tends to happen to many a couple months before a patch. Which is why the servers are so busy for a month after patch and then die down.

I just look at quiet periods such as this as a chance to sit back and tackle my backlog of other games.

What Theodric said, really, it does suck when you run out of particular content you enjoy... I might give ESO a whirl myself, (I'm not bored with FFXIV myself, rather taking a break from the multiplayer aspect of things) I've been playing Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (which is on sale at Steam at the moment), the game is so beautiful and am absolutely loving it (it's focus is more on the story and atmospherics rather than a lot of combat, so not everyone's cup of tea truth be told).
