Thread: So.. 2.1 is still 2 months away? (November)

Leveling is super boring, the only fun part of the game is at end game, and the end game isn't enough to sustain players for 3-4 months unless you enjoy sitting around doing nothing for hours waiting for your group to log on to do coil. That isn't fun for me, though. In FFXI I could craft, fish, farm, run BCNM's, solo/duo/trio sky pops, solo/duo/trio sea pops, farm zeni with 2-3 people, farm VWNM pops with 2-3 people, leveling other classes was actually enjoyable, I could mine, I could do so much.


Crafting in this? 1-50 in a day, 3 tops, gathering? Shards are the most money/hour as a 50 miner/botanist, which you can do at level1, there's little to no use of gil and "farming" consists of soulbinding gear and turning it into materia. Which is ok and something to do I guess, but gil doesn't allow me to progress my character in any way, only coil gear does. Fishing takes 2 days to cap at 50, 4 tops. It's just too quick/easy to get everything done in this game. Leveling a craft to cap should take you months and millions of gil + farming to cap it, it should be an accomplishment, not something I can knock out in a weekend. Relics should take a better part of a year, if not longer, to finish, not a SINGLE DAY. I started my relic and finished it in the SAME DAY, never having done garuda/titan with my group before, we still downed them both. There's almost no use of any crafted gear except some 2 star pieces at 50 craft, which takes dungeon runs to make anyways. If I'm capped on darklight gear, and have my 300 tokens for the week, I literally have nothing to do besides afk until my group is on to run coil - the same as every other RAID MMO. That isn't fun.

I can't just spam coil all day, I need 7 other players I play with to log on all at the same time with different playtimes, so at most you can do coil a few times a week for 4-5 hours or something, in base case scenarios. Am I supposed to afk in town and play other games while I wait to do the only content I have left in the game? That isn't fun, I should have tons of solo/duo/trio content I can knock out while waiting to do raid content, like FFXI did.
