Since MMOs targets a wide audience it's impossible to use fun as a metric at all.
I'd rather gut myself than play PvP, but I don't think that Pvpers shouldn't get content at all because of that for example or that they shouldn't receive what they ask of the devs
It's not grinding that lacks long term goals it's that nothing is worth grinding for.

At the current speed of progression long term goals are simply impossible. And any form of grind is largely unacceptable because the rewards At the end just aren't worth any form of grind to get.

You see it a lot even on the forums. So many people say they don't bother with raiding or anything simply because the rewards at the end just aren't worth the grind or the effort. Everything in xiv is incredibly temporary and short lived.

Adding any form of long term goals is simply impossible because the treadmill is so fast that the rewards would be obsolete before players even got close to finishing said grind..

This is why I really don't put much effort into gear because of how quick it's invalidated.. There's just no point.. But then if it wasn't for friends and social connections I wouldn't even play to be honest..

I really wish the game had moreblongevity and substance. Or anything meaningful to actually do.
