Haha, that sounds exciting to me. Would rather have Lilies do something rather than nothing.
Beb you seem to be treating it like a job . 
Coming from someone with a slightly addictive personality, back off on the daily shit, it isn't worth it. That said I have made like 2M in the last 2 weeks on 10 minute MB stuff so what do I know lol. I got a bit deep into crafting in HW but realized the hustle I was applying to the game could have been applied to RL and refocused. Gaming in general is a waste of time, MMO timesinks tend to be even more poisonous in general but they are fun. Just have to watch it.
The expansion will either be good or bad, I wouldn't judge much right now. At the end of the day it's a content dump, I was not hype at all a few weeks ago, but it looks better than I expected tbh. The class changes are pretty wild, I don't really care about either new class, but I still haven't even fucked with BLU/RDM/MCH (which is all new apparently) so there is tons to do once I finish the content with my WHM. They seem to be buffing SMN, BRD, and DRK somewhat as well and those are the ones I am dabbling in. Eh, I think it will be crack for a month or two.
The genius move of FFXI and XIV is adapting the job system to where your one character has access to all the carrots. The thing I like about XIV past 2.0 is it has at least the notion of respecting your time. They are just cognizant of the fact that their bread is buttered by crazy people.
Nah, I don’t treat it like a job, the 5-20 min daily stuff I do in the morning while drinking coffee and waiting to hit the bathroom before heading to work. Some people read newspapers, I go on and make 300-500k gil a morning and get some more mgp toward my 2 million mgp Cactuar mount that I will eventually get because it’s the only worthwhile mgp thing there is lol I also like checking my retainers each morning because I have them all on quick exploration and I like checking out all the random gear they get. Have gotten some neat glamor from it and rest I dump for GC seals which I use for ventures and the cycle continues.
In terms of doing dungeons or roulettes I just do them on nights where I’m bored like tonight. Trust me, if I have anything better going on I do it.
Also, just like during the SB cycle I gave up on
-raiding
-gear progression past minimum needed for normal content
Outside of this DRK/WHM alt jobs that I only even started last month, I’ve got zero desire to max all jobs or anything. If I have one dps, one tank, one healer I’m pretty happy although I may dabble in Dancer to try out ranged dps experience plus I wanna dance during fights.
A lot of my FF14 time has been catching up. Getting all the content done with my NIN (every dungeon, raid, trial, most ex, about half savage), getting all crafters/ gatherers maxed and now getting DRK and WHM. I also took six months off the game last fall. I feel like with Shadowbringers since I’m mostly caught up I can probably get everything I want to 80 in the first 2-3 months and then I won’t be playing much, just hop in one night a week for normal raids and not even that during odd patches since 24man raids aren’t that repayable to me (I’ve still only done Orbome once).
Plus once it’s fall/winter/2020 there’s a lot of other games out I want to play.
But summer is pretty much just gonna be real life fun stuff and Shadowbringers for gaming.
