    What is the long range purpose of this game?

    Can anyone point me in the right direction to know or find the long range purpose of this game? I searched 2.0 documentation, but I don't really see anything, just how most of the mechanics of this game will change.

    I know we currently have battles for gear and weapons, but for what purpose? What is there to do with this gear/weapons other than to stand in town and show it off?

    Are there plans for things such as Campaign or Dynamis, or Limbus or anything of SUBSTANCE that is planned to be implemented in this game? Please steer me in the right direction! I need purpose people!!

    You must be new to MMOs. Standing in town and looking cool is the purpose of playing.

    Another one of these, Ian? Of course they're planning some advanced end game content like the defense of Ishgard against the dragons and the Crystal Tower, plus pvp (just to name a couple things we've been teased with).

    The point of the game is to have fun, but right now we're kind of just waiting for them to get it ready for us. Why even post something like this?

    To have fun and enjoy yourself.

    If you use that logic "we have battles for gear and weapons, but for what purpose?" why play any games?

    So, you are tired of doing nothing but battles for gear and weapons, and ask if we are getting something with purpose like Dynamis, and Limbus, which are nothing more than battles for gear and weapons . . . .?

    Honestly, the purpose of any game is merely entertainment. Beyond that, they have already spoke of several activities which will be added in game. I'm sure we'll see more info the closer we get to release, but let's be real. No matter what they release, unless it's storyline, it's going to be battles for gear and weapons.

    Had to chime in... As others have said, the purpose of any game including this one is to entertain.

    Did OP really not know that? I smell a troll. XD

    Ok, thanks Kap, that gives me some hope, lol. I was just not feeling any purpose atm, I suppose, I tried scouring 2.0 plans again to get myself motivated and then it appeared like there wouldn't be anything substantial until well after Jan 2013. Thank you for the inspiration ^^

    I guess I meant something like CoP or something, like that to graduate through and then have access to another area.
