I too enjoy doing the 4-man dungeons. It's fun just running through with 3 others to me compared to the hectic 8 and 24-man trials and raids. Plus, it's nice seeing your character's progress noticing the change in damage, learning to use your abilities and getting used to the trait changes. For me, it's way to really practice my job and I appreciate that.

Glamour collecting is also fun to me. It takes me back to the days of the original PSO searching for rares hoping to get that drop from an enemy.

Treasure Maps Dungeons are actually pretty fun. It's one of the few things I don't mind the RNG with. Getting a door that seems like it's not going to open only to open at the last minute is so hype.

I honestly just like sightseeing as well. FFXIV has some beautiful areas like the first time you see the skyline of Amaurot. Or that hidden waterfall cave in the Hinterlands. Or witnessing the sunset in Tailfeather. I just wish SE did more with the world that just having it be a place to do fates in.

With that said, I do enjoy doing the sidequests this time around in Shadowbringers beacuse they provide a bit of world building and some actually have some interesting short stories. There's one in Wright that involves a town ghost story explaining how a previous resident jumped off a bridge after her lover died and that her ghost still haunts it. After you investigate you find out the story was true with another unexpected twist. There's a few quests in the Amuro village that are cute too.

I enjoy:

EX trials- especially since I only run ex trials and dungeons etc with my fc. A lot more fun than with randoms I don't know and will never see again

Hunts- Nice quick and fun. Also do these with fc members though a lot of time will find a pf party and group up. Still fun though ^.^

Crafting and Gathering- I find both nice and relaxing and I love making things that people can use.

Sightseeing logs- These are fun to do. I like going out and finding them and reading the descriptions they have in the sightseeing log.

hanging out with FC members and friends. Sometimes it is nice to not do anything and just sit around chatting with people.

Glamour, Alliance raids and treasure map/treasure dungeons are the things I enjoy the most.
I also like going for the Relic but that one can be heartbreaking at times (Atma anyone?)

[Naemisa]

Dungeons with real people.
Dungeons with trust npcs or squadron. There are many jobs I can't play properly due to arthritis so I enjoy the ability to try them out in dungeons without being a nusance to others.
Relic weapon grinds.
Fishing, mining, botany.
Gearing up all the jobs as well as I can.
Crafting.
Playing alt characters (yes, really characters and not jobs).
Sitting around in busy cities or quest hubs looking at glamours and how different race + jobs combos look or to help out players who seem lost.

This might sound dull, but I enjoy casual leveling the most. It is relaxing. This never felt like a game to take seriously to me. Really no game should be taken seriously, but this game in particular seemed more equivalent to taking a walk in the park.

It used to be leveling. On my previous main character last expansion, I had all jobs at 70. Though I must admit that I used two level boosts (45-60 for WHM and 40-60 for AST) as I'm not good at healing and so leveling them isn't as fun.

For this character this expansion, just grinding for gear I suppose as I'm trying to stick with just one job.

Glamour, as everyone know, that's the true endgame

Huh? What? I exit? Okay

Oddly, I find the thing I most look forward to most days is MSQDR!

It started out just as a way to level my SCH (because I suuuuuck at healing and was terrified to do it in current content after a couple of epic failures, but MSQDR is synched as such to make it ridiculously easy).

But, once my SCH hit 80, I was like "Eh, I'll keep doing it on this character just to get some easy tomes and to give my husband a faster queue when he's leveling a DPS class".

Eventually I realized I just plain looked forward to it every day rather than dreading it! I mean yeah, it's long and it's tedious and it's the same thing over and over, but more often than not I end up having some wildly funny and random conversations with party members while we're all suffering through the long and unskippable cutscenes together, and that's the part I love.

Don't get me wrong, I love my FC and chatting with my peeps that I know, but there's just something about making a few randos that I'll never see again laugh every day that is kinda addictive...

The story (for the future) and job quests. The former has been my only goal since I started Guild Wars 2 on an on-and-off basis. And I use leveling alt jobs as an irrational escape from doing MSQ dungeons and progressing the main story asap. I've never entered a dungeon/trial more than once, except if I dc'ed. As a result I have my MSQ job at 54, currently "chickening out" of the Whorlsometing trial, and a 50 BRD, who only did Dzemael Stronghold, a 45+ PLD, 40 WAR, 43/44 WHM by only doing hunting logs, FATEs, leves and sidequests I saved for that occation XD. SAM/RDM excluded.

- Crafting. I enjoy leveling crafters so much, I do it on every single char with all classes. I need help.

- Relics. I jumped straight into relic grind as soon as my alt hit 50 and finished ARR MSQ and stuck with it until I had the Zeta weapon. Felt really nice wearing it through the better part of Heavensward because every HQ weapon and dungeon drop up to Vault was actually worse. And I made a lot of friends during the grind - teaming up for the 50s dungeon and light farming, giving each other a heads up when a relic FATE spawned and chatting while waiting for the right to spawn etc.

- Gold Saucer. So much to do, Triple Triad, LoV for log, GATEs, Fashion contest...

- Story. No matter how many times I play through it, certain parts still get to me. And I tend to talk with all the NPCs while progressing. And yes, I'm also guilty of /gposing with them way too much.

- dungeons and generally chill group content. You meet the funniest people and have the weirdest headdesk and facepalm moments. And someone has to full the "Tales from the Duty Finder" thread with stories

I enjoy trials and a bit of raiding, but not to the point that I'd say it's my favourite thing ever in this game. I raided a lot in many other games, mostly hardcore and I think my raid phase is mostly over. It was great but I don't miss it. I do it more to see the fights, the raid designs, to see how well I do in these fights etc. and some have some really nice stories like Crystal Tower. But I do it neither for clearing asap nor gear nor mounts. Being among "the first" and "in b4 nerf" long lost its charm for me.
