So, how is Pagos?

Oh no, not at all! I didn't think you were criticizing XI, just wanted to put my 2 cents in about the ferry ride. And you're right, I did derp there and forgot that the pirates did extend the ferry ride a bit longer.
But yes, it still there always will be until the day XI comes to it end. I go back from time to time during free play events for the nostalgia.

I do agree with you, this game (or any for that matter) should give players the incentive to actually play rather then AFK. And that kind of where I'm at with this game at the moment. I went into pagos yesterday, did the log to get level 21, then joined a train. Was on WHM. Helped with dps and healing, but slowly it started to become mind numbing to the point where I was just healing and in that whole time, only one fate had spawned. Now I don't even want to do the content at all. It boring, it mind numbing, there no excitement in it and most of all, no fun in it either. With Anemos, I was okish with, at least NM spawned at a decent rate and felt more rewarding. Had weapon upgrades, armor upgrade so it was at least somewhat enjoyable content.

Can't even understand why the JP players would want content like this. I'd have to ask a JP friend I've known since XI how she/community feels about pagos.
I'm hoping they do some fixes to pagos that make it more enjoyable. I'm doubting it though

The FFXI ferry trips were relaxing, chaotic, a time to chat, a time to run around and take screenshots, a time to fish -- in a nutshell, unpredictable.

Literally nothing about FFXIV is unpredictable.

I've been an ardent supporter of this game for years, and I'm still hanging around -- and I love that Yoshi saved it -- but the game is undeniably flat and, unless you have either a raid static or an irrational love for glamor, it's really not fun. This game has an inexplicable lack of content for FCs, and any non-raid group content gets watered down to a train zerg. Yoshi did a great job heeding concerns of the EQ/FFXI era, but we've been going down this road for years, and by now we should be course correcting from overreactions of the WoW/FFXIV era.

Those ferry rides in XI were everything that used to be great about MMOs. Today's devs are missing the boat.

Finding it extremely dull so far.

Fates seem to spawn so slowly you get one every 30-40 minutes. Mob grinding and leeching off the Fate Train when they spawn one seems the way to go for now, but mindless chewing through sacks of health for 2 hours isn't my cup of tea.

Nice people enjoy it, personally don't find it much fun.

I never accepted the original Eureka quest. Sounds like SE was successful in making sure I never do lol

[Thayos]

I just don't care enough to log in for this. Hoping for SOMETHING different in the next expansion. Anything, really.

Anything, really.

Now that's just baiting the monkey's paw.

They couldn't even add like, group leves to this to make it something farmable that WE can control? Its not like we are using our leves at 70 anyway on battle classes

I know they have the weekly challenge logs (which are amazing exp), but they really need to do daily quests in these hubs as well.

Somehow it's more of a boring grindfest than anemos.

The only thing that amazes me about Pagos is just how little effort they can get away with when designing "new content".

Pagos looks to be much like Anemos, in that there's nothing I can do in there that I can't do outside of it.
