Taking breaks doesnt work for me.

I only just got around in 2023 (starting in 2014 with many breaks) to levelling more than my typical 2 jobs per expansion and while there is some overlap, there is enough little nuances to keep things interesting to me. It's way better than my other MMO (Elder Scrolls Online) where every dps character plays almost exaclty same (Buff, Buff, dot, dot, dot, spammable, repeat) and often with cross-class skills that are actually the same.

Content that I choose to do is easy but just challenging enough that I'm engaged, aside from most of the early ARR dungeons and Crystal Tower.

Maybe it depends on being an MMO player then since I'm not that. I got into XIV bc I I like FF.
