Having reached Level 50, some of the fun of running through dungeons is gone. There's really no point in fighting mobs now, which sad.
There are probably lots of things SE could do to make fighting them fun even at max level. But it doesn't seem like any are going to be implemented. Do the majority of players just not care?

I wanna farm T9
That's what we had to do this week. 2 sessions of farming T9 to catch up with the rest of the statics out there. Unfortunately we are still missing 1 bow and 1-2 daggers.
Speaking of, I wonder if they are experimenting with a token system for 3.0? Since there is tokens for myth gear dropping in dungeons now.
I can imagine the loot tables being much bigger in 3.0 so they might be experimenting with token systems for then.
Let's hope they learn to cut down on the number of crafting mats in boss chests. But those shits in normal chests. No one needs elixers or ethers anymore. Save the boss chests for actual gear like in all of the other dungeons before 2.2

Welp, looks like my agenda for patch 2.4 is:
Gear up MNK
Gear up my retainers (can you use ST gear for this?).
Gear up my DRG (just because, ST or Sold gear)
Gear up my MIN/BTN/FSH (I like these more than crafting in general)
Gear up CUL (that said, I like cooking stuff!)
Level as many DoW/M classes up as I can manage.
Catch up and run previous coils.
Finish EX Primals? (Yeah, right)

It does mean I can look like a pro with clutch healer LB3s though.
If you have to use HLB3 that's already scrubby
depends, would you be able to spend a good chunk of your money?
for CPU, the Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor is still one of the best for gaming especially if you wanna go somewhat of a cheap route.
If you want the expensive route, the Intel Core i7-5930K which is around....600 dollars...
for GPU, the EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 Video Card should hit around even higher than the high setting (probably can hit max imo). But if you can't shell out $350.00, you can always go for a 660Ti
Yes I've been doing my freakin research on this for November
I don't really care about having the game look super nice. Medium (with a lot of things turned off) is sufficient for me. Most important thing for me is FPS and resolution. I imagine that's mostly on the CPU.
It really really depends on the game on whether its dependent on CPU or GPU that will have a steady FPS/resolution
In FFXIV's case I personally believe its more GPU dependent than CPU, however you shouldn't neglect on CPU as well since both GPU/CPU help towards the FPS/resolution quality.
Games trying to go with 1080p+ would require more GPU compared to CPU
so my suggestion for this is:
somewhat cheap
Intel Core i5-4690K
GTX 660 Ti
mediumish
Intel Core i5-4690K
GTX 970
expensiveish
Intel Core i7-5930K
GTX 970 or GTX 980
I'm pretty sure there's other tech savvy people who'd recommend a different type of suggestion if you don't like what I have here.
Edit:
somewhat cheap
resolution goes from medium to highish 45- 60 FPS
mediumish
resoultion goes from high to max 50-60 FPS (guesstimating the FPS)
expensiveish
max resolution 60 FPS
Scrub loot is just as functional as pro lotto and the fights are a lot less boring. I'm okay with this.
Last night I opened up my weekend staying up all night, but I got some stuff done in this game. Renewed my confidence in my tanking by hitting up Turns 6-8. I came out with the High Allagan Sabatons of Fending, some sand, a UAT and Oil, and a I finally feel like I'm back into the game again. Then I hit ninja hard and went from 28-36. I've gotta plenty of work to do on my tanks, so time to get to work!

Ninja aggro is no joke, I was surprised at how fast they can get aggro at the start.
What did you expect from a class that bypasses the ramp up time of GL3.
Indeed, there's nothing quite as exciting as successfully recovering from catastrophic errors.
the solo story instances are the only thing they can't help you with, they are designed to be solo for everyone.
They can do leves or any dungeon or anything else with you whenever you want.
They stated at the Fan Fest, that they're working on a token system now, in anticipation of applying it to the first high difficulty raid in 3.0.
On a similar subject, I really hope that standardize Savage Raids, for all future Coil-like Raids. It'd give them a good excuse to balance out regular mode Raids to being a little more approachable to mainstream skill level players while still giving a the really high end players something to do.
Granted, titles aren't really good enough for that. Personally I'd just put down identical equipment with a slight gearset bonus, like, +1 determination and vit for each additional piece equipped.
It wouldnt even result in a 5 Ivl increase if you had the whole set, but it'd still be a worthwhile if albeit subtle bonus.
Where?
I was watching that earlier. It's so hard not to comment on the mechanics that they haven't figured out yet! :O
Holy shit. Going at that in 110-112 is insane.

Trying to sign up for FFXIV...uh is their email system broken? I've tried signing up with my gmail account, made a yahoo account and even used my school email and nothing has been sent to me yet.
The fuck square?
Edit: Seems like gmail wasn't refreshing for me and the email finally got sent to my new Yahoo account...yay.

Apparently there's a rot-like mechanic in there.
My sides are gone.

Man, I really wanna get that T9 tank body piece.
Me too, eventually. One of the best looking chests in the game right now.

Ah sorry, the spoiler one, the cutscene
You likely won't see the cutscene again until Square allows people to start posting it. It was posted last night and then taken down due to copyright less than 30mins later.
that dedication though via squeenix o.o

I love the battle as tank, it's even more fun than being offtank in levi ex, kudos to the guy who designed the battle. I wish coil 2 was as awesome (i always thought its mechanics were unfun)
Here's the img for shiva hailstorm if anyone is willing to use it
You just choose a number and rdy to go!

Is Shiva Ex doable as a i107 WHM? Just beat Ramuh a couple days ago.

It should be even at 95-100 (as healer)
Edit: To get the PS4 version free can't you just buy the PS3's and transfer to PS4?
