I've commented (whined?) about this a few times now and beginning to feel embarrassed/uncomfortable at doing more of the same, but I have to chime in and say this has been my experience as well. The end result being I know how to play my class while questing, but I'm sure I'd strike other players as a retard who needs to L2P were I to land in a dungeon and probably even provoke a booting  :( I understand its because the population is very top heavy, and I have no shortage of quests to knock down while in a que, but by the time I log off it is disappointing as I feel I'm at best playing 1/3 of the game.   Admittedly, with megaservers I have had more open world short term team-ups as others are willing to join in on a group critter/quest, and those have always been enjoyable especially if the critter takes a while to take down.  Between that and my one adventure now, I feel that I would really enjoy leveling if instances would pop more..

I played FFXIV since last Friday and have given it more time than I should (the downside of being self employed, moar discipline pls! :P ), I've leveled my Puglist to 21 and my Thaumaturge to 19 and have had no shortage of dungeons firing up once I unlocked them. Not to stray into a review, but to be honest WS's combat has made FFXIV's system feel very "tedious" :huh:. But the thing of it was I felt like I was playing a lot more of the game...because I was. (hope that makes sense). How much of that is due to FXIV having a more robust population I can't say, it felt more robust, but its because I was constantly doing stuff. I'm letting another month of my sub stay up, but TBH WS's play has become tedious lately because the only thing I get to see is the open zone questing. Though people like Nephale and a few others have been very proactive community wise by stepping up to help out (seriously respect that) the issue for me personally is that I don't feel its up to the community to fill that gap, but on the Devs. People go where the carrots are, and they shy away from the lash, which is entirely controlled by the Devs. Based upon my play experience, the carrots are all sitting at level 50 and for them, everything below their level is a lash; so as someone working his way up I get a hand-me-down lashing which diminishes my interest in getting to 50. Not to sound hateful but TBH if a new player were to ask me if it was a good time to get into WS, I'd have to say no, wait till Jan/Feb of 2015 at the earliest, May/June being more realistic.
