More Populated/helpful server

[Greatguardian]

I didn't need to make many "assumptions", all I had to do was read the OP.

Let's review:

I currently play on Lakshmi server and to be honest it sucks.

Ruh roh, Rooby. This is never a good sign. Contrary to popular belief, the particular differences between servers are actually fairly small in the general sense. If he thinks one server sucks, chances are it won't be much different anywhere else. But we'll give him the benefit of the doubt and see why Lakshmi apparently sucks.

80% of Jeuno shouts are people trolling. Hard to get help on missions because at this point people are too lazy to quest or don't want to help others out unless they're getting paid.

Bad sign #2: Blaming others. It's not his fault, you see. It's just that 80% of Jeuno is a bunch of trolls and everyone's too selfish and lazy to help with anything without being paid. Let's move on and see if it gets any better.

Lately I have solo'd a lot of my content and I am starting to hit a wall. I think I was very fortunate with my lb10 quest, because I seen some people shout for weeks before they finally got help. I recently return to the game and there is a lot of content I have no experience with and I think I need to try another server. I have tried to find a LS, but all I end up with are Soical linkshells with no socializing. I am looking for a server where LS are relevant and people are still helping people just to help.

No, not really. "Social Linkshells with no socializing"? Unless people just sorta sit in the linkshell and never talk to one another, I'm sure there's some sort of socializing going on. What can be inferred from this, however, is that there's no "helping" going on or communal activities. Of course, that begs the question, which activities would a social shell do? And why would they do them?

We'll get back to that, though. First I want to move on just a bit to the last line. "I am looking for a server where LS are relevant and people still help for the sake of helping". That's an interesting line, really. Look at it for a moment. Read into it a bit. What does it mean, to help for the sake of helping? At first glance, you'd think he's talking about what friends do for each other. But it doesn't seem like he's looking for friends. He's looking for a linkshell that helps members for the sake of helping.

Beyond that, what does it mean, specifically, to "Help for the sake of helping"? I can understand a giver using this phrase, but a receiver of aid? Used in that context, it implies that he wants to receive aid with no intention of giving back in return. In fact, he feels so strongly about not giving back, that he called everyone on his current server lazy and selfish for wanting some form of repayment for time spent. Now, note that this doesn't necessarily have to be in gil. You simply find gil is the easiest way to ensure equitable compensation among strangers.

Those are pretty damning word choices, and his attitude is conveyed as exceptionally poor in every single one of his posts. Instead of admitting any fault, he insists that others are to blame (Be it Lakshmi's population, or me in this thread). No. If you think an entire server is rotten, then it's probably just you.

The most reliable way to get help on the things you need help with is, has been, and always will be to simply help others and let karma and your reputation do the work for you.
