What keeps you playing?

It's good to take breaks from the game from time to time. I just recently it feels from a 3 week break after getting my battle classes to 90. I came back to finish up my DoH! First time I've maxed all classes which was a good goal to set. I also since Stormblood have streamed the game on and off of random things I do from weeklies and dailies to farming and raiding whatever. I usually give myself short term goals and long term ones as well. A good short term is doing Wonderous Tails and doing handful of it not undersized. I do that because I like to either relive a dungeon or check out who else is playing. Long term goal is to get the all the extreme mounts every expansion before next. I've been doing that since ARR really but have been streaming it on and off since Stormblood. Took me 396 runs in Stormblood going by totems, 581 runs in Shadowbringer and currently I'm sadly at 298 Totems(99+99+100) combined for Endwalker which is 248 runs. This long term goal is about a 2 year investment but I normally play almost everyday for about 4 to 5 hours at a time since I came back.

TLDR: Short term goals,long term goals, breaks and streaming.
