I've put a lot of time into the side content over the years, and it used to keep me busy while friends were taking a break and we weren't raiding, but I gave up on most of the 'casual content' this expansion.
I have 7 alts (5 at 90) and I've decorated about half of their apartments and FC rooms
I have 5 omni-crafters and gatherers (all 90 but I barely craft these days, mainly I make furniture for my housing)
I got the skysteel tools for my gatherers and some of crafting tools but they were obsolete before I finished all and I was running out of bag space
I have all battle classes to 50 or above on my main
I did the HW sightseeing log pre-nerfs and finally got SB when some kind person helped me get the lamppost after Kugane Tower (the struggle I had to get up that tower was enough to make me leave sightseeing alone after that, though).
I do have all the shared fates done for ShB and EW (I collect music rolls)
Things I've started and given up on include:
Fishing log - gave up when they added all the Ocean Fish to it
TT - gave up after grinding hard in SB and then realizing just how hard it would be to get all the cards
Verminion - I did it occasionally for MGP, but I can't remember the last time I bothered
Relics while current - I usually drop out of these on the final grind when I start feeling life's too short and it's going to be glam in a month or two anyway
Blue mage - couldn't find people to do the group content with
Deep dungeon - groups just keep falling apart
Things I haven't started:
Mahjong - I hear it's really time-consuming and I've never played before
Side quests - What's the point?
HW relics - Just hearing friends doing these was enough to put me off
Expert crafts - Sounds like a horrendous grind for not much reward, don't see the point
So there's plenty left for me to do, but there isn't much I want to do.
I've recently taken the advice to try other games and it's been a lot more fun than forcing myself to do stuff here.
