How is everyone feeling now the servers are back up?

[AlexiaKidd]

In the downtime I made a WoW trial account along with a few LS friends. I had never played another MMO other than FFXI so wanted to see what all the fuss was about and we had a lot of fun.

We still couldn't wait to get back on FFXIV though but now the servers are back up and have been playing FFXIV the last few days it's getting boring really quickly, it just doesn't seem fun anymore. Literally all we are doing is the same 6 leve's (you know the ones) over and over again. Once the leve's are done it's back to crafting but I am ready to throw in the towel with that as it is an unbelievable mind numbing tedious grind. I just dinged R32 on Goldsmith and the thought of how many silver rings and needles I have to make to get to R33 between locals is crazy, I can't even imagine the grind from 49-50 on a craft even in FFXI it didn't take that long to get a level on crafting.

I am beginning to question why I play FFXIV now as there is a lot wrong with it and we have no idea how long it is going to take to fix it. Before the servers went down I played purely in the hope thinking one day everything will get fixed and the time I spend levelling all my classes won't have been wasted and I will be able to jump into whatever content comes.

I hope the big announcement this week can put my fears at ease and that the Companies will give us something fun to do while everything else gets sorted.

Also has anyone noticed less people in their LS or server since they came back up? Our LS has all members accounted for so no losses there but they pretty much are feeling the same way about it just not being fun any more.

I realized I needed more than a week away from it.
And yes, it seems many are in the same mindset as you.

Still completely bored with the game. =\

Probably won't be playing until some radical changes occur, and the population spikes. The servers are still pretty dead population-wise.

Honestly, I'm having a hard time doing my crafting leves. I can't make myself do a full set right now. It doesn't help that it seems like I'm breaking more synths than usual, but that's probably just inattention on my part. I don't want to see what color the light is anymore, and I'm having a hard time remembering why I ever did in the first place.

Mmm, I think i noticed this before the servers went down.

But over the week I got a growing sense of wondering "Why was this allowed to happen?" "this is not an acceptable form to release a game in." and "Is it possible that Tanaka was so set in his ways that he just thought this was ok?"
