You have no Savage / Extreme / Ultimate content...

[Malmstrom]

... so what do you do to fill the time?

Assume for a moment that you do not have access to the higher end group content anymore. No particular reason why, we're just playing hypotheticals here.

So what do you do in game to occupy your time?

Basically you're asking what keeps 80% of the player base active?

[Fynlar]

I never really did them much, so ehh.

I try to get my weekly 450 tomes.

I've been trying to max out all my jobs. Just got done with that.

I've been working on finishing anima weapons. Just got done with that, so now I have all 2.x, 3.x, and 5.x (the only available state of them thus far, anyway) relics. Not fond of the prospect of doing 4.x relics; Pagos kind of killed it for me.

Going to keep working on those 2k mentor roulettes.

Want to finish Rathalos EX (which is made quite a bit more trivial now with level 80) so that I don't have to carry these damn scales anymore.

Also, work on tank achievements.

You think 80% of the player base is in EX or higher content?

. . .

Yeah, no.

. . .

Yeah, no.

I think they mean exactly the opposite
80% ISN'T doing ex or higher hence the question being what those people spend their time on
Idk if that's what the actual numbers look like but yeah

I give up on savage stuff in 4.4 and my quality of life in FFXIV raises a lot, it was a unhealthy routine having to do weekly savage because player base, but I miss a little the mechanics and how they are "orchestrated". However I rarely go to extreme stuff with my friends, no stress and only clears and laugh.

Most of the time I like to spend my time taking care of my cross-linkshell community, receiving new players and telling them how to play the game, answering their questions and helping them with instaqueues. I also like playing with submarines stuff in my fc, making new types and testing if it will worth the voyage.

About the savage content, I start question why it worth? I had the BiS in 4.2 and start wondering what I was going to do next. So, the price of having this i370 worth the time I spend stressing myself? I still can clear content I usually do with crafted or tomestone stuff, then what is the deal? There is a difference in the damage, of course, but can I still clear the contents? Yes. All the questions about it start making me think the price was too high for a little reward. The time I no longer use with savage now I just play with friends and it is amazing.

I don't run anything beyond normal content. So, I do the daily / weekly hunts for nuts, sometimes collect materials to sell (I only craft for myself), and run 1-2 dungeons for tomestones if I feel sufficiently awake.
I still haven't attempted Eden's Verse: Furor yet.

I'd get into housing if I could build a full plot farm without house.

. . .

Yeah, no.

More like telling that 80% of community dont ever saw or did this type of content

[Enla]

Craft, grind weapons, gather, roleplay, scream into the void and contemplate my existence. You know, the usual.
