during this time i joined and quickly left a total of 5 fc's. with various reasons to not stay ranging from it being too clique, meaning they left new players out of any content they ran. another fc had a rival fc they were always talking about. calling that out had them focusing the same energy onto me. and the last fc's were so quick to leave a good impression which then got ruined by members openly calling others noobs, and stupid.
aside from novice and fc, i got roulette parties with mentors, even. dungeons and raids have never been more toxic. how can i get gud if you;'re pulling mid sentence while i'm asking for help?
the least players could do is wait for my cut scenes. but to actually have the great community others say this is, taking time to welcome new players and explaining mechanics would go a long way.
my sub ends in ...4 days. i'm done. and the only groups i ever enjoyed were blue mage party finder. the limited job had the most potential. i'm sad, but done.
