new player and enjoying FFXIV

lots of content in the game, unfortunately only like 1/8 of it is worth doing

Well, I don't know that I'd use lots to describe the amount of content but yes... only a small portion of what's there is worth doing at the moment and Yoshi-P did address that fact recently. Fortunately they'll be looking at revamping a lot of the existing 'useless' content.

However, I do agree that it is worth noting since it is still true that at this very moment... very little of the content that exists has value to most players.
