Normally this is what I do. I was playing all the time through ARR/HW/SB. I was really into raiding and ran 3x per week for most of the tiers. When I wasn't raiding I was leveling alt jobs, mount farming, etc..just on the game pretty much all day. Even attempted UWU for a while until the group burnt out.

Shortly after that I got a job, and I have a really weird schedule that if difficult to work around (nights, 12 hr shifts Wed-Fri & EO Sat) so a static is really off the table. I played ShB very casually for a change and took long breaks, came back every few patches when I wasn't really playing other games. It's fine. I don't feel like I missed out on anything. Well, maybe a handle of Eden pieces for glam, but maybe I'll get them someday. Same with some of the mounts.

I did clear p1s today and I'll work through the others when I feel like it and have the time, but I don't really care if I finish the tier or anything.
