What keeps you playing?

[Naoki34]

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!

Even if SE tries to make ARR and the following patch to HW attractive, it remains the most boring part.
You don't even have a third of the HL content for your character's gameplay.

And you don't have everything that makes MSQ cool at your level.

So at your level, you're still in the "barrage" of "anti-newbie" content despite what SE does to improve it.

It's still a pain to play at your level.

I personally find that the content from Ishgard onwards is improving. Although many swear by Heavensward, I found it relatively boring. It unfortunately becomes interesting in my opinion that from Stormblood by its improvement of the MSQ which goes largely better to Shadowbringer which gradually begins to avoid more unnecessary back and forth. And a real feeling of travel.

It's not for nothing that the "generous" free trial of FFXIV goes until the end of Heavensward. It probably hopes that those who "survive" until level 60 to hang on to their MMO.


For my part, it's the glamour, the housing, and the raid alliance.

- Housing more than anything else to keep my subscription going non stop for a maximum of 30 days.
- And the glamour in second, I am the kind of person who is able to farm during days or weeks for that, the relics for example or to make all my tomestones of the week in spam raid 24 because I find that fun, more than twenty run on the week thus.
Which makes me laugh when a guy creates a topic to complain that after 3 to 5 runs, he doesn't have his raid 24's gear for the week.

Occasionally the Ex, for the mount or the weapon skin that interests me.
