Krystal has a point but its ot the game's fault, its the playerbase and its not something post-abyssea, it was going like taht before that

People didnt want to help you with stuff before the easy exp and level cap remove on missions, everyone is always trying to get something for themselves as a priority.

Not much to say, its all cuz the players, the easier content just emphatized the "go solo it" attitude and the not helping someone fallen is more in the lines of that exp comes easy nowdays, taht ermoved the sense of danger on the players too, and lost respect for the areas with mobs that can hand your arse to you.

Again its not the games fault as much as the players, and all this elitist attutude towards n00bs is just making it worse, instead of trying to help those noobs to understand theri job and helping them, you are expecting to get help from them first... so before you point fingers at some people without X or Y spell, take notice that not everyone learns their job the same and not everyine has the time/gil to get all the spells,and even if you have the gil, most spells are not even in AH most of the time... same can be said on gear, and other suff.

So, if you want to change anything, start helping otheres yourself, insted of complainging about noobs, take one under your wing and un-noob him/her, help make vanadiel a better place and this forum less spammed....
