    Ultimates for a simple Reason: To many people on my Datacenter just buy the kills, thus making the title worthless. Whats the point of having something everyone has? Its quite fun though to tease such people in Discord, asking them about mechanics and them trying to change the subject asap or simply not answering.

    Archer/Bard. Thought it would be cool until I did that DPS rolequest in ShB and all of a sudden, this seemed like a very boring class. Coming from a guy who plays Sam/Mnk/Whm.

    I think I tried everything at least - some things got dropped quick enough that they might qualify, though?

    Ultimates: Went in with my static once, but we agreed to dropped it. The thing I enjoy most about raiding is figuring out the mechanics ourselves, instead of watching a guide - that didnt seem to possible with Ultimate (since some people had already watched a guide/video - we also probably wouldnt have made it all the way through, gotta be that honest).
    Serious Fishing: While I catch the fish (and minions) that I'm intrested on for practical reasons - crafting, housing - I never really tried Big Fishing nor filling my fishing log. I still havent discovered all fishing spots in ARR... sometimes I'll think about trying, but then I always find something better to do...
    Hunts: Never joined a hunt train, never helped spawning an S-rank - A-ranks I see get reported in a hunt-ls (though I'm not sure if they're even still intrested in those...) while I continue my gathering. Daily hunts are okay for leveling.
    Melee-Dps: I'm leveling them, of course, but mostly with dailies and stuff that doesnt involve other people - I'll take them into the occassional leveling dungeon and hope that I dont suck completly, but I dont enjoy playing them and they get dropped once they reach max-level.
    Healing EX-primals/Savage: I think I tried twice - Coil T8 and Shinryu EX. That I remember both might be a hint to what an impression those fights left... I'll happly tank or dps those fights and have come to terms with healing being to far out of my comfortzone and me being to lazy to change that...
    Ranked Feast: I like PvP, I even like Feast (though I prefer Frontlines) - but I dont have this competition mindset, so this never intrested me. Should do some frontlines again, though...
    Solo PotD/HoH: Tried it - I even main paladin, so I think my job should technically work to get me through? - but I just dont have the endurance for it... it was fun with friends, but damn its boring alone... (thought I'd have all the otter-traps for myself...)

    I pretty much try everything this game has to offer - right now I'm even progressing Eureka - but there are a few things I dropped, like finishing the first ARR relict weapon, Big Fishing (I may come back to those one day) and Ultimate. I started raiding in this game with the last tier of Omega, dipping my toes into the water casually before I finally joined a static for Eden. It was demanding but it was also fun. Then The Epic of Alexander dropped, we all watched the World First race, watched the kill, discussed about mechanics and tried progressing it. But this time, it just wasn't fun. While Eden seems hard but always felt doable to me, this just felt frustrating and nearly impossible. And even worse, it felt like work. Hard, boring, repetitive work with little to no progress at the end of each raiding-evening so it just wasn't worth the hassle.

    I know that the very hard difficulty is exactually what motivates people to clear it, as they want the challenge. But for someone like me who never had fun with games like dark souls either and has still enough trouble with E8S right now, this was just too much.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    And the Feast. PvP just isn't as fun in this game as in others I've played and the only thing that makes it kind of fun/tolerable is the large scale of the bigger maps

    Same here. I've watched videos on some of them, and there's no way I could remember, let alone execute most of the mechanics.

    Ultimates. I've at least dabbled in about everything else. But I'm just too old & don't have the reaction time necessary for Ultimates.

    I LIKE the fence. I get 2 groups to laugh at then.

    Chocobo Racing/Breeding and Triple Triad since they do not interest me. Those are probably the only things in the game I have not tried.

    Savage and Ultimate fights.

    I only ever did Coil back in 2.0 and that was mostly because that was the only way to get the story. I was deeply intrigued by it and it was good motivation for it. I was also getting close to finishing my psych degree and had plenty of time to make for it, be it with a static or a pug. When 3.0 came out, I kinda lost interest in it. Looking back on it, I've never really been one to feel satisfied with challenge in group content. As it turned out, story was the primary motivator, and in HW you no longer needed to do hard encounters for it, so I just kinda... stopped doing that. In 2016 I started medical school. My schedule was kind of erratic for a while, so I don't think I'd have been able to be in a static even if I wanted to. Not to say that I didn't have time to play video games at all... but my time was restricted and I didn't want to step into the savage progression grind if I wasn't going to enjoy it.
