MSQ fully caught up, most sidequests done, all current content (that I am capable of) finished til 6.3, which is quite a way away. At which point, what is there really left for me to do? Sit around on my hands waiting for S ranks to pop? Grind tomes to buy gear that 1. doesn't matter a great deal and 2. will be replaced faster than it takes to get it? There's a very big difference between content and meaningful content. Sure, sitting around waiting for S ranks to spawn is content. And the 5 seconds it takes to kill them, is also content. But is it meaningful content? Will I look forward to doing it or grow to resent it? More than likely it'll be the latter. If it wasn't for my in-game friends, I probably would've unsubbed a while ago and just come back in 2 years or whatever for the next expansion when I'd actually have meaningful things to do
I can absolutely respect this answer. I would feel the same as you buddy.
