Loyalty

You don't need friends or an FC to accomplish anything. Being greedy / an ass gets you things faster and gives you no real negative feedback.

There are some close knit communities within the game... But as the game doesn't require chemistry or teamwork in any form it isn't exactly the norm.

This game is still too new.

My FC has over 100 people. We lose like 1-2 every few weeks, but have still been steadily gaining more than we lose. I don't expect things to change much until well after 2.1 when people get a feel for what this game is. Right now it's still just a gloried trial, and most people have no idea where things are going.

I've also had some members ask to come back.

People always think the grass is greener. Truth is, shiny coil groups might look good from the outside, but most aren't sustainable in the long run (once people get the gear (or don't get the gear) they want ect.)


I will agree that the way XIV is currently setup hugely favors 8 man play. I'm hoping housing changes that some.

Its modern day ignorance. A RL frind played this game with us, we gave him soooo much help, crafts/armor/dungs.. etc well one day i turned to him and said NO I'M BUSY. He left the FC and LS we had and said fine i'll find a FC that is willing to help.

Moral of the story, put yourself first as 99% of people don't give a damn.

Shrugs, i guess i had some tomes to spend. Bough long ago, i didn't plan to work on alts leveling them, i was sure i was going to be whm for long. Then..meh.
Ye, bough because of determination i guess. If i need to run serious content, i switch that ring with a more appropriate one :)

Well thats typical.. if someone point something you ppl usualy say..aah that didnt matter etc.. the turth is every single point matter in any MMORPG who scales with stats.

If you dont plan alts then you can farm mats to craft your ilvl 70 crafted ring, meld materia, tihis way you will be contributing to your FC as possible..

Yep pretty sounds like our FC.. but you know we still didnt kill twintania because we diminish our best players for large scale to allow 3 groupes farm T1-T4 so as many as posible players can get to the coil.. and now working on 4th grp

You havent that awesome FC ?? Then Why ?? What did you bring to the table ? Did you help your FC member being a better so other 7 ppl wipe on titan everytime when your newone dies that he can learn something and dont be just carried up ?

Teon you keep saying the community changed for the worse, and everyone is just being elitist etc, all I see from you is complaining about how the game and the community in it is bad.
I cannot agree with you at all, could it be that it's actually you who changed for the worse with that attitude of yours and you actually avoid people alltogether by putting up said attitude making them not want to play with you?
I might be wrong but you just seem so bitter...

I'm on a loner FC, everyone moved out during free transfer or left , not so bad, i got bank slots for mats :)
I group up for coil with various JP LS i joined, and i joined a nice eng LS for chit chat and group up if needed, nice peeps :)

Believe me, if you are on the kind of FC i described, and every member fits, you are very very lucky. It's rare nowadays, stick on them as long as possible :) (question is: do everyone on that fc will stick with you too? )

That's what we are talking about: how rare is nowadays form an FC like this one, and why the OP did this thread, disappointed.

Ye, i help when needed, titan included, relic raids, anything. Giving tips if i detect something he may fix (try this skill , face the boss on the left blah blah) Natural attitude :)

Can you believe me all i am on my account is pugged with random JP players? :) (on monday before the reset i pugged twintania with players i never met, go figure)

You surely misunderstood my attitude, i'm quite helpful , who met me is happy to meet me again on pugs :)
I'm being realistic, and i'm not alone on this opinion, i hope i wasn't misunderstood about my personal attitude ingame :)
