Lack of End Game Content

[Nayout]

FFXIV doesn't have an end-game, that's the whole point, it's a theme park. I think you are on the wrong game, the dead horse known as wow is --> over there.

Some people consider fishing their personal end-game, other may enjoy farming mounts, you set your own goals, you don't need a babysitter to tell you what your end-game should be.

Ultimate, Savage, Extreme are not "Endgame? lol

Both FFXIV and WoW are theme park MMOs, most modern MMOs are. Being a theme park MMO doesn't mean having little to do at end game.

I think you mean sandbox MMOs don't have an end game, which has little to do with FFXIV because it's not one.

Leveling up all your other jobs—not end game content, no matter how you spin it.

Right, but unlocking a new race, restarting from the start, and doing it all over until you get where you were already - thats end-game right?

Oh, how about doing a whole bunch of grinds to unlock something like flying at max level - but you can only get it a year later - thats end-game?

The raid or die mentality, raids with lots of bosses that dont matter - that worked in WoD right?

suddenly people realize this "problem" when a wow player who didn't know what to expect from a casual mmo have talked about it
keeping you subbed have never been a goal of this game

You are exaggerating, it was more 20-30 hours at the most.

Lol - ok, even if thats true, three days is 72 hours. So you spent 40% of your existence over three days to complete the MSQ.

When you consider the number of hours people normally sleep, and the number of hours of work in a psying job .... when you say you beat it in three days because it was only 30 hours ...

Dude - that reveals more about you than the actual game ....

I never claimed to beat it in 3 days...I am just clarifying that the game is in no way as long as the person made it out to be. Nothing more, nothing less.

I never understand threads like this. It always reads like, "I'm not having fun with this game--tell me some things I can do!" *insert long list of things* "Oh I don't want to do any of that. This game is lacking in content."

I don't know what to tell you. You know what the game has to offer the same as the rest of the us—it isn't like there's this top secret level 80 activity we're all doing and no one told you about. If none of it appeals to you, I'm certainly not going to waste time trying to sell it to you.

I never really found farming azerite or world quests to be "thrilling". But i was kept busy and entertained.

There's a lot of side content, but if you don't enjoy it--you don't enjoy it.

Perseonally, I hate world quests and farming azeroite. So I didn't do it. But what I did enjoy was running old content and filling up my transmog list. God, I wish I could do that in FFXIV.

But surprisingly enough, my current time-sink outside of gearing my main is leveling alts up on the new fate system. I don't typically enjoy fates. I just want to max out each zone so I can buy stuff. And fates are boring enough that I can do them while listening to podcasts. I will admit, that I'll gladly fate over Warcraft's world quests simply on the fact that I can fly in FFXIV. There's no way in heck I'd land-travel between destinations and get dismounted on trash. Major turn-off.

Swtor does it even better that you can literally teleport to each daily/world/quest thingy. I don't mind the actions. I LOATHE travel time.

If FFXIV fixed the glamour chest to be unlimited, and let me hoard all the old duty sets. I'd probably be addicted for a few years just trying to fill up on every dancer set. But since the chest is limited. I don't collect anything beyond what I'd actually use.

An unlimited glam chest would probably be my #1 wish for QoL features.

I'd love to be able to collect every set of gear someday and not have to store them in my retainer. Some of the dungeon gear sets look amazing but I don't collect them because there's no space to put them.
