Log in, afk in front of the fc house and log out again

[GoatOfWar]

Can't say as I do relate, honestly.

I spent the majority of yesterday after work farming for the items from the new Variant dungeon, still need to hop in to swipe a few more items. Today I'm going to work through BLU and collecting the new spells, and making a start on the brilliant tools after I clear up my inventory.

Across the next day after that I'll continue working on the brilliant tools, probably finishing them, and then work through the other relic weapons, probably through Palace of the Dead to begin with so I can finish getting the remaining Padjali weapons, before going back to hunt trains for the rest - I'd have liked a one-time only step which isn't just the completion of Hildibrand quests. I'll be running through the fishing log during this as well.

For me, that's worth the subscription cost, and doesn't have me AFK at my house or FC house within 30 minutes of the patch.

I'm glad that appeals to you, but none of that sounds remotely interesting to me. I have already collected the glams that i like and it was kind of boring to grind them anyways. I levelled a crafter and gatherer and i found neither particularly engaging.. At all.. And blue mage content is just stupid.

For the most part, many of the goals here were tertiary, since I enjoy achievement hunting, regardless of that medium - Whether it's in an MMO, or whether it's on PSN with trophies, or achievements on Xbox/Steam - Even with people who do this fairly casually, you'd be surprised what forms of monotony and tyranny people subject themselves to for that dopamine hit of seeing the achievement pop up on the screen. Like, I'm farming all of the relics just for this purpose, since my primary weapon glamour is Padjali, and will be Kinna when I get around to that. I would say this enjoyment outweighs what I got when I decided to try raiding in Eden's Verse that one time.

Crafters and Gatherers are a shell of their former selves, I will say. In fact, one of the major selling points of this game to me, aside from hearing T13 music (by accidental misclick) those many, many years ago, the crafting system was also pretty high since it was one of the few that could boast of having a fairly substantive system behind.

I do have issues with BLU, and probably more so than most people, but I don't let that stop me in its entirety from having what fun I can with it.

At any rate, I don't entirely disagree, but people play this with different goals in mind, so some will get more out of this than others. I usually refrain, but there is a certain point where you do need to question whether the game has your interests in mind or not, and whether there is actually a trend to show whether it is or isn't, and whether or not it is rebounding.

Maybe pick up a new game, 16 was just released.

Burn out is natural. Don't force yourself if you're not having fun anymore. 14 doesn't want you to be around all the time. They said so themselves.

A burn out would imply i'm tired of the things i'm doing but there's nothing to do in the first place. I WANT to do stuff but there's nothing of substance.

THEN UNSUB. FFS!

This is kinda how .x5 patches are to my memory, more of the relaxing fluffy stuff. The only real reason I can see this being more pronounced than usual is because of how gutted the relic questline has been.

If nothing appeals to you then ultimately it's probably in your best interest to focus on other things/games/life responsibilities until 6.5 when we get the new alliance raid, trial, msq, etc. This patch just isn't for your taste and there's nothing wrong with that.

Have you considered becoming a full time forum poster?

There is a lot of content to do even if it's not content you are interested in. SE can't meet every players' personal desires when it comes to content type and quantity. "Content of substance" is something that is subjective, which can make it even harder for them to try to meet a specific player's interests.

As others have said, if you've done everything you're interested in then it's a good time to play other games whether it's WoW, some other MMORPG or a game in an entirely different genre. You can always resub to play this game when there's enough new content you're interested in to make it worth the fee.

What nonsense. He says this but puts in systems that encourage you to stay subbed, like weekly lockouts and housing demo timers (alongside a perpetual housing crisis)

I hate to be the one to interrupt your narrative, but weekly lockouts are more or less an MMO staple across multiple games. Lets not let facts get in the way here, shall we? Weekly lockouts have existed for decades, so no, he didnt "put anything in".
