I'm not sure I can do this again.

Burnout is going to happen if you only play the game to progress iLv and do the latest dungeons or raids. There is a massive amount of fun stuff to do in the game. I often times don't get caught up on gear until the last moment because I spend most of the 3 months working on the many other things I work towards. Collecting tt cards, collecting minions, collecting mounts, do gathering and/or crafting endgame, hit gil cap and go around giving random players chunks of gil or earning through contest you make up, collecting every fish entry in fishing log, creating your dream home, collecting orchestrion rolls, collecting chocobo barding, vanity, progress PvP rank, PotD, sightseeing log, breed a top tier race chocobo, challenge yourself to soloing older dungeons or trials, help players farm duties for stuff in PF, help new or returning players, hunts if needed, I could go on and on. I hate the gear treadmill too, but luckily there is so much to do in this game when compared to other MMOs. I'm not saying everyone should like that other stuff, but you can't blame SE if you only care about 1 aspect of the game.
