So what to do at 90 without msq?

Honestly, the base release is always kinda dry after you finish MSQ if you aren't into savage raiding. More and more stuff will be doable with each subsequent patch, some being more time intensive than others. The relic weapons are usually a grind that takes time, especially if you do multiple weapons.

I didn't read the full post, yeah you gotta do MSQ. Everything is MSQ gated. That's how the game is.

Something else?

When you said "sidequests are not as interesting as other FF games", I'd assume it's the rewards. Because story wise there's a lot going on if you do sidequests. Yes sidequests doesn't provide you with good rewards, or even, game breaking. If you're expecting some ULTIMATE weapon obtain or anything crazy like FFX or FF7, you'll be met with disappointment. Because what's rewarding in sidequests are mostly its experience in this game. For savage & ultimate & extremes, it's the climb experience. For some, storytelling (hildibrand for example).

If you wanted challenges however, by your experience description I think you missed a few challenging parts. I think most of it, even. It's actually better to skip a story than leveling if you find something tedious. Because you'll skip the necessary quests to unlock all the dungeons, trials, or raids.

appreciate the feedback

yeah I'm looking for instanced matchmade group stuff and my duty finder didn't have a single new thing after I hit 90

there really isn't much I wanna do solo on a healer, entire point of the class is to support a team to conquer stuff

are you saying I will have new raids unlocked by hitting 90 in the duty finder? or do they all need the 40 hours of endwalker msq?

I tried to switch the duty finder to the 'hard' version but it won't switch

Everything is behind the story. I'd be shocked if no one told you this before you decided to xp grind.
