Abyssea - A ragefest waiting to happen?

[Juri_Licious]

I've tried out Abyssea a few times and it seems people are the following things in one of these parties.

Short Tempered
Childish
Quick to insult
Unfriendly
Scary

Now I kept my mouth(so to speak) shut so nothing would happen too myself while in these parties but, jeez this place really does bring out the worst in people. Or the worst people just flock to Abyssea, something like that.

Welcome to Abyssea...

Population:
Players who don't know how to play their jobs worth crap,Leeches who burn their jobs to 90 and are COMPLETELY unskilled,whiny brats who fight over the smallest things.

Welcome to the internet and online gaming, even the nicest person irl turns into a **** online since you can't punch them in the face online.

I like abyssea as much as anyone else but I cant wait till some new areas come out with old school exp parties. I remember having to fight for camps in bibiki bay and that was only 230 exp tops, but getting 600 plus these people need taken out back and beaten with a belt.

What? You didn't notice those characteristics in almost everyone you've met n the internet, since forever?

[Dooom]

Abyssea is not the cause of bad or mean players. People being jerks are the cause. It is not zone-specific.

Rule #1 - Don't join pickup groups.
Rule #2 - Don't join shout Linkshells.


Find an established Linkshell (ie: formed before Abyssea even existed) which runs with less than 12 people, and join them.

Congratulations, you now have a decent Abyssea experience!

You could have retitled this thread "Final Fantasy XI - A Ragefest Waiting to Happen".

None of those characteristics are new or interesting.

"I tried out [new thing] and I noticed a lot of players were acting[list of negative adjectives]. This is contrary to [old thing] because times were [positive adjectives]."

Rose tinted glasses, etc. How many of you were making the same complaint about not getting colibri parties on DRK or being forced to level a different job for pre-nerf CoPs?

In short, you're wrong and your opinions are wrong.
