Fun : noun : 1. enjoyment, amusement, or lighthearted pleasure.
I'm a "casual" that's been playing as a tank class since v1 beta. I had a few jobs to 50 but decided to start a new character when ARR was released; I rolled a WAR as I loved tanking in FFXI and in XIV v1.
Now I read and have always read the forums religiously since they were opened and at this point.. at level 48 I'm afraid to progress in this game.
I hear nothing but horror stories of unruly elitism. I get stressed out and anxious about opening the DF window. I actually shake a little in anticipation of being abused and "yelled" at if I'm starting a dungeon that I've never ran before. This isn't even End Game.. I fear even trying Aurum Vale.
I've started a new job; Monk in hopes that with less responsibility in the party the less chance I'll be yelled at. I already miss being the one to take all the damage though.
So is this game fun? I bet it could be if people would let it.
There is your problem. Don't get stressed out from these forums. Ironically, this place has the most hate for this game and they are the VERY vocal VERY minor part of the community as a whole. Just by reading these forums you would think this game is already dead. You see none of the animosity that is plastered across these boards in game or on other forums.
How much DPS does this "Fun" add?
