If you're looking to talk to people and meet people, the best in-game places are either the endgame hub of the current expansion, or Limsa Lominsa, which is everyone's favorite base city because of how its laid out.
That's an optional contentFFXIV ARR was neat from an immersion and world perspective but after hitting 50 the annoying "gather parts for that weapon endgame" thingy ruined the fun for me and my friends.
Give me a good mmo again
people did it just for fashion 
Assuming you're talking about relic weapons, this content should be ignored by everyone except the most hardcore of players.I just want to get hyped for mmos again. The last couple of years have been a rollercoaster of emotions. I played ArcheAge pre 1.0 in Korea and it was legit the best mmo (from a gameplay and systems perspective) that I've played up to that point. Then they fucked it up in Korea and the west got the shitty version. FFXIV ARR was neat from an immersion and world perspective but after hitting 50 the annoying "gather parts for that weapon endgame" thingy ruined the fun for me and my friends. BDO was freaking gorgeous and the world felt believable with all the workers running about and the cities bustling with people and npcs but the game was an ultimately shallow experience.
Give me a good mmo again
Has it always been like that? I played the game at launch and all I remember is that after finishing the story all that's left to do was primals and that weapon quest.That's an optional content
I also missed good MMO. I missed being able to have the fresh feeling in enjoying the world and leveling process.
Btw Guild Wars 2 is in a lot of mess these days lol.
You are correct if it at launch. But now we have three expansions worth of contents so there are a lot of contents to do. Relic weapons is not always the strongest weapons that you can obtain and it's a lot of works just to make onee so people just did it for fashion,
Oh yeah I know about the expansions, obviously, but getting back to an MMO has almost never worked out for me. Tried it with BDO a month ago and it's just too much work. There's so much new stuff that I'd have to read up on and learn about that I usually just dabble in the game a couple of days before abandoning it again. That's why I'm yearning for a completely new mmo that (hopefully) will keep me and my friends engaged for longer than say 3 months.
Hmm, the ARR part of the game is gonna get an overhaul and some of the fluff is apparently going to be trimmed in version 5.3 (which should be sometime around late spring/early summer next year, maybe?).
If you do restart, my advice is to mostly just spam the MSQ as fast as your level allows.
I'm very skeptical about that. Loved the game when it first came out, had a great time with a bunch of friends, but the pay to win stuff absolutely killed it. I'd much prefer to pay a sub. This new version will be buy to play, right? Even then, I'm already reading stuff about "season passes" and stuff... not sure I trust them to get rid of all the pay to win crap.
I love dungeons/raids and stuff like that. I also like to level up job classes so I get disappointed as well when crafting and the likes don't really matter too much in the end. But if I had to say what I like the most, I'd say dungeons and raids. I loved trading in Archeage as well, in the beginning, but unfortunately they've changed it a lot after a while.

Interesting. Coincidentally, lots of old Guild Wars 2 staffs have been leaving this past few months. They're probably restructuring and hiring new people for the new game. Exciting times ahead.
hgow hard is it to set up lost ark, because it english ? any guide ?I'm playing Lost Ark and its clicking every single box I wanted it to since I stopped playing FF XIV back in huh ... 2015 I think ?
I did play a bit of Skyforge and Blade and Soul after that but went on hiatus rather quickly on these two. Anyway Lost Ark ! its pure joy, has a rather insane amount of content ... also :
- classes are deep (understand by that you can play them in a LOT of different ways, every single one of them) and varied despite sharing a common archetype
- the way they handle gear progression with dailies and everything thats not "directly" pve is awesome. There's a whole lot to do in the game for crafters / gatherers / explorers / pvers / pvpers and boy does it never end.
The sea content on its own is awesome : you get to explore islands, talk to people, find shipwrecks and theres an aspect of gestion to the crew you take on your boat, as well as taking in account the weather which can dramatically influence stuff
- Open world pvp and arena pvp where the gear is for the most part (90% of it) equalised (yay)
- A metric ton of dungeons who can last up to 40 mins, infinite tower, raids of various difficulties.
Seriously it is that good, I was considering for the longest time to jump back into GW 1 since the graphical update that happened this summer gave life back to the game, but yeah now I cant
