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

[Liam_Harper]

If there's nothing else that interests you other than what you listed, then by all means take a break and play other games. I always find it strange when people act like a single game should be able to occupy 100% of their free time, or that there's no reason to play a MMO if you're not doing the high end content.

There's really no need for the little dig at people who like endgame.

The game currently caters to both types quite well on DoW/M content. Savage, EX and Ultimate exist along with plenty of casual story driven content. No one needs to "go away" and take breaks for not enjoying some of those. This thread itself is quite interesting as it highlights the wide range of differing preferences between players, with some being quite opposite. We could all learn to keep that in mind.

I sleep in my apt and debate which job I'mma level. Just got Gun breaker to 80.. now to level dancer. And sleep in my apt more. I just got one.

Stop playing the game. The non-raiding content is really boring.

Work on other things I guess, mostly achievements and farming things, either mounts, minions or orchestrion rolls. I have a to do list and make steady progress towards finishing it every few days I log in to play.

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.

Have not done any Savage or Ex Trials since 2015.

They're just not worth the time and effort.

SE should instead focus on content everyone can easily access with minimal queue time. Example would be: Eureka. Even Frontline roullete was better worth of Dev time even thou it's just 1 map xD than all the 5.0 Savages/Ex Trials.

Quit and only resub for the major patches's MSQs because Shadowbringers has been a bigger pile o' nothing than Stormblood was and is not worth my time when you can catch up instantly with crafted gear and can finish all the patch has to offer in 7 days.

Raiding and EX trials are not my thing because they boil down to boring "boss in circular arena with heavily scripted mechanics you fight ad nauseum until you finally get the drop you want" and they also prey upon the 'nostalgia factor' to compel players to do them, hardly an entertaining aspect and sounds exactly like a classic way to keep players subscribed to your game because it has barely anything else to offer.

Having taken a break from Savage due to static drama, I basically log in to cap each week and log out. Admittedly, that is partly due to burn out on but there really isn't much to log in for at the moment. Did some glamour farming with friends which was fun. Otherwise... eh. I still feel the one major flaw FFXIV has always had is longevity.
