Try playing Tera. While its beautiful, the combat is fun but, you level fast by questing using traditional hub and spoke. Once you cap you can grind 2 dungeons and play the RNG crafting game trying to improve gear. Oh, enjoy their community, wait there isn't one since you can solo to cap in 3 days.

That's why 1 month after introduction people have left or just sit and complain about the repetition and RNG at end game. The game has no soul. That is why I returned to XIV. I have faith in SE to improve it and to make it great in 2.0. If not, I will not have lost anything other than time with friends in a group oriented MMO.

FFXI had several great story lines, nations, RoZ, CoP, ToAU, WotG and that kept me engaged outside of Dynamis and Limbus.

So my advice is to go play something else. Hopefully you will find a game to your liking.
