What keeps you playing?

I been playing since beta ARR in 2013, never been away from the game for longer then 2 weeks since then.

For me personally it's the best game ever, but over the past couple years I've noticed it's better to play other games as well.

As far as burn out goes I just play through it cause I know right now there isn't a game that can take 14's spot as my dominant game.

Dragons Dogma and The Last of Us multiplayer came close but by the time I started those games then Thier content cycles were done, but still those 2 in all Thier glory wasn't as grand as FFXIV in all it's glory.

Hi folks. Been off the game for a while after a massive bit of burn out. I'm finding it hard to go back. I'm just curious... What keeps you playing the game? Maybe I can find a new reason to enjoy. Thanks!

Been playing for 2 years and still really enjoy the game. Got my future hubby and my friends in my FC. I mainly do mentor roulettes at the moment but the grind is almost over (1520/2000 as of this post), and I raid on the weekends with my FC's static along with farm night on Sunday. I've done some BLU stuff, I do PvP, main story whenever it's available, maps, hunts, etc. I try to do a bit of everything really, and there's still lots of things to do.

I take a lot of breaks and play other things, usually saves me from those massive burnouts that would make you want to not come back. I'd still rather have more reason to want to keep playing this specifically though, many of my breaks aren't even due to burnout.

Story brought me to ff14 and savage/ DSR keeps me playing the game.

Clubbing and leveling alts.

Story and glamour.

I have several alts so I've usually got something I'm working towards with one or another of them. I've never gotten to the point that all are fully sorted out and I don't have anywhere to get them to.

If I don't feel like playing FFXIV I'll play something else and come back to it another day.

If anything, I've got to work on that feeling of not needing to play every day, and get some other things done.

Just sort of enjoying the various elements of the game and doing weekly stuff. I'm currently taking the slow road to levelling all of my jobs to 90 while gearing out my main jobs. I've also recently dipped back into checking out the relic weapons from pre-ShB. I've wanted to get more into PvP and am very interested in doing so but just haven't really found myself in the mood so once I feel like it, I know I'll be getting into that. I don't really care for the Series 1 reward armour set so I'm not feeling like I'm in any rush on that.

Basically, I just don't expect the game to occupy all of my time and just log in to do what I feel like doing and then log out to do or play other things, and I currently definitely have things I feel like logging in for.
