The Inevitable Burnout – Getting Every Achievement in FFXIV #43



This week the dreaded burnout has finally come for me in Final Fantasy XIV. With all of the new Dawntrail gripes and grinds, it was only a matter of time… right? So what do we do next? WE CONTINUE GRINDING OF COURSE!

  1. I understand why some people feel the burnout, but I also don’t really ever feel it myself cause I almost always have a goal in mind when playing. I like raiding so maybe after I complete all the ultimates I might finally feel burned out but I also have over 16k playtime hours so who knows. I might just find another goal to chase.

  2. I got burnout recently as well. I'm trying to level my alt jobs, but I'm taking a step back and playing an evil playthrough in Baldur's Gate 3. It hurts my heart and the camp is lonely, so I also started a good playthrough at the same time.

  3. most HW and StB materials are available in Idyllshire/Ralgr's respectively, it's actually really funny that people successfully scalp on the market board
    i've been chipping away at the HW large scale leves for a while and just finished all Carpenter large-scale leves last month, now on to Blacksmith. Once I'm free of Zodiac books it'll go by a lot faster, but I can't bring myself to rush these last 2 Zodiacs.

  5. Without satire, I must admit: I only felt burnt out of this game I grew to love AFTER DT MSQ was completed. The despair deepened a little further with the PR statements and the amount of toxic positivity every time I was randomly tossed into the Interphos while doing Mentor Roulettes.

    If that expansion is the taste of adventures yet to come, then the purpose of my journey beckons me off-game. For the first time in my three or four years of coming here after WoW broke my spirit, I feel betrayed by the selfsame people who COULD and DID exceed my expectations and simply chose not to. Even the warm and fuzzy holiday messages feel that much more empty because it doesn't seem to come from the team's love for their craft, or their connection to their community. It's 'there' but I'm disillusioned. That's as kindly as I can put this.
