mercing has been in mmo since text based MUD ff11 had mercing since the NA ps2 launch.

most the ppl who Merc, are doing so for alt, lack of time or don't follow the meta.

I am largely playing solo to see the stories that i just never completed. And my play-style never really fit the meta. i recall having shouts made anout telling ppl not to play with me due to that. Even though i still aided the group in my own way.

what players choose to do doesn't change the game. If you wanna start a group, do so. If you start a pt, and we are on the same server idm joining, just don't belittle my play style as i do try hard to play my role.
