Taking breaks doesnt work for me.

I feel like the "it's time to move on" argument is silly defensiveness of the game. When the story focus is done with, the glaring issues of the game reveal themselves easily. Let's be honest, unless you make the game your life/job by submitting to the raiding paradigm the combat of the game is pretty bland at this point. As someone into crafting and gathering (and by extension housing) as well as access to social things even I can acknowledge those are bandaids for meh gameplay.

Though for the record I acknolwedge it's a difficult problem maintaining a popular MMO that needs to cater to casuals who aren't good, casual players, hardcore players, etc. and still meet financial goals.

i only want to touch on one thing. im not defending the game. the op made it quite clear they aren't getting anything out of the game. if you can take a hiatus and come back and still not want to do anything then its time to move on to another game that will give you what you seek. keeping a active sub on one that bores you to this point just is a bad use of finances all around. not to mention yoshi p himself literally said its ok to take breaks from the game lol. even if said op got friends to play with, i have to question how long till they get bored again. just seems easier to drop the sub and play some other games. come back down the road and see if anything interests them after new content has had a chance to accumulate

Hi just an update, I took notice of the comments recommending a bigger group of friends and the comments of just moving on. Im going to try the former and if it doesnt work its best I consider the latter.

I joined a new fc yesterday with people who seem nice and actually share other interests with like genshin, destiny and other games... but logging in is still kind of hard. We'll see how it goes.

I also appreciate that this post didnt contain as much hostility as most of the others in these forums, let's try keep it like that.

Thanks for all the advice.

Good luck with the new FC. I hope it makes a difference for you.

If this works out for you then IMO it is the best kind of group to have. Most of the long term groups I've been are more of a "gaming circle" rather than a group dedicate to just one game, and they are the people who stick together for years.
