How's this MMO, just picked it up for cheap

Got FFXIV: A Realm Reborn for $11 at Gamestop yesterday, got to level 6 and am having a fun time. Anyone play this or played it at some point? How's the game like going forward?

Yeah I dunno how I feel about it. I mean i'm having fun to a point, but I just don't think I can do it. I will like stare at my desktop icons battling on if I want to log in or not.

Leveling is fine, super-grindy to min/max end game. You end up playing every class based on what your 10 man raid needs basically. Sometimes its 6 AoE healers 3 wizards 1 tank, sometimes it's 8 rogues 1 tank 1 healer etc. You basically have to grind out every gearset and talent line.

Dat sounds pretty bad actually

I found it pretty enjoyable leveling up. Very linear quest line regarding the story but certainly worth $11.

At least the FFXIV Dev team pumps out new raids/content every 3 months on schedule (and had an endgame at launch), unlike most new MMOs these days that are barren of an endgame and are shortly abandoned thereafter.

ESO will be the next in line for that treatment. We'll see with WildStar, but it seems to be losing it's luster already also.

Got to end game with a white mage, the main problem I found was that when they released new content they immediately nerfed old content (not talking because of new gear) but actually give you a buff while in the lower floors of the dungeon that gave you cure potency, attack potency, and HP/MP buff. Granted you can click off the buff to take on the first 5 floors as it was before, but when your re release of a game has only been out for 6-8 months nerfing your previous content is just a bad move.
