I can't help but buff all the little new plants!

So, I've noticed a surge of new player marks over people. I just can't help but throw buffs at them and welcome them to the game in some form or another. I usually answer questions they might have if I have the time to do so too.

I kind of wish I could mark myself as willing to help though. Is that in the works?

That would be a welcome addition, or maybe the induction of a tutor style system?

But if you're in a helpful mood perhaps you could be so kind as to take a look at this thread. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...th-coming-back

I'd kinda love to see A.M.A.N return for FFXIV

Them bean sprouts sure r tasty !
Especially the chubby lalas who spam emotes because they r overjoyed on how cute they look.

The only thing I'd hope is that it lasts. When I tried XI, there was NOBODY around. :c

Way back when I used to play FFXI, I thoroughly enjoyed using the tutor system. I would have it up all the time and new players would approach me asking questions. It worked really well. I'm not sure if it would be a good thing in FFXIV though since the population is so much higher, you run the risk of being bombarded by multiple new players at the same time all day long. lol

Some of my favorite moments have been when I, as a little plant, was healed and buffed! Those intense moments when you think you are going to die and then a level 50 in shining armor saves the day out of NOWHERE, are fantastic and really bring the community together. So keep up the good work sirs and ma'ams.

Actually because of moments like these I have been inspired to work on my CNJ class next so I can help the little buds. (Still too scared to tank)

Feed me, Seymour! Feed me, NOW!

Oh, yes, all these innocent, defenseless little plants to deflower... err, I mean exploit... I mean, I mean... What I am trying to say is, I really like new players. Especially with Ketchup.

Jokes aside, I do like these new plant icons, too. Every time I see a new player with that icon, it just cheers me up a little. That icon shows - this person is not yet an arrogant, overgeared jerk. They might someday become one, or they may not, but at that point in time, they're most likely too inexperienced to be arrogant, and that's a good thing.

Since I'm playing frontlines like a berserk, I get a ton of myth and I'm always capped now since I don't have any use for myth anymore.
I think, I'll buy a bunch of those super cute minions (for 30 myth) and give them to every new player I see, I guess they'll be kinda happy about it :3
I also throw emotes at them like /welcome or /cheer as they might feel welcome to the game ^^

I have turned the names off to avoid cluttering up my screen and now I feel bad about it :( I wish I could still see the little plant icon next to them. I main WHM so I'm always paying attention in low level zones to someone doing leves. I stand by and if they're getting into trouble, I'll SS+Regen them.

Just keep in mind there are some new or alt players that do not wish to receive assistance. I've run across a few and honestly I applaud their effort to accomplish the portions that are intended to be done solo without assistance.

Gotta say , this thread cheered me up lol. It's really heartening to see that players are still willing to go out of their way to help new adventurers, or simply make them feel welcome to the game. Keep it up fellow Eorzeans xD

Back when I played XI I used to love helping new players. Now that I'm one of the new players is pretty humbling. I should turn my name on so I can see it to see if I have a plant icon....... How long do those stay?
