Simply reads to me that you are not a mmo target demographic.

MMO by their very nature are repedative and grindy.

What the attractiveness is for many people is a multi-layered ecosystem populated by real people. If you are a player who prefers to do things always alone or are looking for deep engaging content, mmos cant fufill that desire.

They have to bring the game to its least common denominator to include something for every type of player.

Without the lens of social interaction, when looking at the systems objectively, MMO are not revolutionary or even very creative.

The story can be great, but if you play it like a single player game it just becomes playing the same game over and over for years.

TL;DR MMOS Trade novel system design for social interactions. Most like myself keep playing because of those social layers.

I played ff14 to death, this is the only game I get to play as a werewolf (big plus to me), and there is no other MMO out right now thats worth it. The second something comes out (thats good) I will be gone again like a flash. If this game ever got its crap together, it would make a lot of money off me like FF14 did.

Used to be group trials, now it's pvp.

Theorycrafting, build-testing, crafting, and furnishing my houses; all pretty enjoyable but I do wish they would buy some bug repellent to keep the content free of those pesky bugs.

I started less then a year ago so there's still a bunch of content for me to enjoy.

As for the reasons why I stay it's mostly the nice people who rely on me and, in all honesty, putting time into an MMO is an investment and it would feel like a loss if I quit now. So for now I'll just explore the pretty landscapes with friends until I get the feeling I'm wasting my time.

Sunk cost fallacy, mostly.

I like the quests, and most of the story lines are pretty good.

Truth be told, soon as a decent MMO or a new story driven single player RPG comes to Xbox, Im jumping ship.

PVP and role-playing. Not the ERP kind of RP but more on the challenge of achieving the looks of a character that I'm trying to portrait be it cultural, famous characters, & etc then pretend to play in that character's universe.

I will probably only stop playing once I had enough of ZOS's greediness when it comes to micro-transaction where most RPers get their RP stuff. Tbh, I quit last time because of this but found reason to came back. It's only a matter of time before I lost interest again.
