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

[Reimmi]

Yoshi himself encourages players to take breaks between patches.
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.

If this is the case why do we have to stay subbed to keep our house?
Seems like a big fat lie to me.
We won't provide enough content to keep you playing, but you better still give us your money if you dont want to play housing russian roulette again

[Burmecia]

How many of you can relate to the title?

I can't.

Pvp, workshop crafting, nm raids of the week, hunt train, check if there is cool housing plots free. Gpose, check pf, mess with BLU?
Heck, even make new character. Everyone says we don't need those. But I am paying for chance to have 40 of these puppies.

Hang out with friends.

Am not saying you cannot feel how you feel. I'm not immune to boredom. I'm list listing stuff I try to when it seems like I might need to look for the next thing. I find new ideas when people write about stuff they like to do.
So for now that doesnt feel too hard for me.

+ Of course I have very leisurely playing style on my side. I am not there anymore among the sea of people to enjoy new content as fast as possible. So, that leaves bunch of stuff for later, when I want something.

I used to be like the OP. In my case, it was the gear treadmill. Login on Tuesday. Spam dungeons to cap tomes so I had the best available gear for raid nights ASAP. Do new Ex trials when they came out. Spam hunt marks to upgrade whatever pieces I didn't upgrade from raid etc. Then take a break for a few months until the next gear tier.

I got off that treadmill and have found so much more that I enjoy to do. If anything, gear is one of the last things on my mind. This has probably been the only expansion where I have NOT unsubbed. I don't know about the OP, but if there are players that focus on just one aspect of the game (like raiding), they'll be disappointed.

How many of you can relate to the title? Because that's what most of my time in this game is currently looking like. A new patch drops, so i get excited!... Only to fall back into the same old position right in front of the fc house 30 minutes later after i ran out of stuff to do til the next raid night. A cool shiny sword but nothing to use it on, that i bought with an already capped currency. (Not that it's worth using as the tome weapon is better anyways) And a new dungeon that i completed in 10 minutes. That's the patch.

This game is lacking in character progression and meaningful content besides savage and weekly tomes. There's just so little of substance to do on the side besides social interactions - which i don't think warrants a monthly subscription as i can do this for free on other platforms. I *want* to have stuff to dig my teeth into - a reason to log back in for inbetween raid nights. But there's just nothing to do. Frankly, i'm starting to consider going back to WoW..

I never do the above. I have been playing since 1.0 and still find things to do. Today I decided to get the variant dungeon mount so I spammed it 12x to do so. I also run deep dungeons constantly for loot. I craft. I do not gather. I would rather let others do that for me. I run frontline for many hours a day sometimes when I really feel the need to kill other players. The game is what you make it. If you can't find anything of value to interact with why do you sub? I certainly wouldn't.

Maybe you should have read the rest of it to find a better suited example,

Find what example? he put it in his post, read it again.

What nonsense. He says this but puts in systems that encourage you to stay subbed, like weekly lockouts

I'm glad that doing a quest for your new tool is engaging enough for you to warrant a subscription fee.

You can say the same for combat tier gear which is out of date after the end of the expac, whereas crafter tools at 630 ilevel are close to or marginally BETTER than pentamelded 620.

Have you seen the miner tool?

Brilliant Pickaxe: Vit 169 Gather 1263 Percep 722 GP9 , increases collectors intuition chance by 20%, add in food and pentamelded gear , we get gather 4177 percep 4054 which is well over whats needed to gather materials for the latest combat tier..

These tools will be useful well after the end of the expac as well..but I suspect that you are like a lot of forum posters who think that if it isnt combat related it isnt worth doing.

I've stopped bothering with keeping up on crafting because the prices crater usually within the week. So why bother going through the work to craft everything when you can just wait a week and buy it for a pittance.

It's nice having them leveled to repair and meld my own stuff, but that's about it.

4 star food. 4 star alkahests. 4 star tinctures. 4 star housing items .

I can craft it ALL, which means I am NOT wasting gil on stuff I can make for myself.

I just made 30 HQ dex tinctures for a friend, which would have cost her a MINT on the MB. She is progging savage, you should have seen her face when I handed her free food and tinctures. I can also make my own ingredients / components for these items.

i fail to see the benefit in spending gil on stuff you can make for yourself.

Crafters are self sufficient, which is a HUGE plus as you arent paying through the nose for overpriced MB items. Even on Kujata the gear prices for Diadochos are still within the 100k mark per item, so a full set will set you back close to one million gil for one job gearset ALONE.

Then theres the fact that crafting also provides you with materia and scrips, so you can pentameld your own crafter gear, buy food ingredients , thats another expense you no longer have. I pentamelded and it cost me, yes, but the vast majority was materia I already had in stock and ready to go.

Pentamelding is expensive, granted, but its a long term investment which has already proved its worth and paid for itself long since.

So: are the relics worth the time and effort? Hell yes.

This guy seriously bragging about modern EW pentamelding LMFAO

Imagine thinking 100k is high or that 1 million gil is a lot

ShB zoomers rofl

I just made 30 HQ dex tinctures for a friend, which would have cost her a MINT (60k gil) on the MB... you should have seen her face when I handed her free food and tinctures

holy hell the more i read this the funnier it gets, holy

i am now actually convinced this is some deep state bait alt, no one says they're 61 proudly with a straight face or says this kind of shit (60k gil charity being shocking to a friend) lmao

I definitely can't relate to the title. I played on and off for a few years, and then as my main MMO since 2021, and I still have a laundry list of "meaningful content" I'm either in the middle of or looking forward to doing, and that was before the new Manderville/Relic quests and Variant Dungeon dropped. The game has a ton of character progression and meaningful content; just because any of us individually don't happen to like a particular type of content doesn't somehow make it cease to exist or not be "meaningful" to plenty of other people, you know.

Sure and then what once you're done with the tools ? Oh nothing ? Thought so

I'll reserve the right to quote this and link this thread the next time you claim people unfairly "attack" you for being negative and bitter

[VelKallor]

no one says they're 61 proudly with a straight face

Oh you silly little Titanmen..the average gamer is in their mid 30's, with a growing percentage well into their 50's above.

A new report from marketing research firm Global Web Index revealed that the 55-64 demographic has grown 32% since 2018 (thanks GamesIndustry.biz). That's a growth of just under a third in just three years.

Oh and btw..a friend of mine just qualified as a registered nurse, who plans on doing further training in ICU.

She will be 68 next year.

You really are behind the times.
