Hrothgar Players

Are like the nicest people I swear.
I haven't met one that was rude, every dungeon I got with them they always give tips to the new person and even ask if big pulls are ok to the healer.

It seems hrothgar players picked up the manners of male roes who are also normally the nicest people.

Really, thats a thing? Thats kinda cute.
Ive met so few Roes and Hroth's have been dwarfed in my Areas and my dungeons runs so I haven't experienced such Hospitality~

It's mostly because the majority of Hrothgar players are former Roes. And Roes are the cinnamon rolls of this game.

Gentle Giants.

Come to think of it, the Hrothgar NPCs have all been nice to
(From what Ive seen so far.)

Ranar is such a cutie patootie ♥

And I have to say, you're right, I didn't come across one single rude Hrothgar lmao

Same. Hrothgar are like the Canadians of Eorzea. <3

The hrothgar I'm married to is just a giant meme and doesn't know what hes doing 90% of the time. But lord does he try and he is the sweetest of things.

*winks with a big thumbs up*

Weird. A non-waifu race isn't toxic?? Weird.

Yeah, some of the most toxic players I ran into are usually female Aura or Miqote. I also got called an idiot failing a mechanic on EX practice party by a bunny player :(

That’s the beauty of small or minority, less like to see a bad apple.
Unlike Miqo’te, sometime I really feel ashame of my race. We have the worst ppl in my race

Can concur my bf plays one hes a sweetie big floofy snow leopard

eh, i say live and let live with furries. ain't nobody ever tried to yiff me. that said i would say they were by far the most persecuted subculture on the internet for the past decade so i guess underneath those fursuits is a really nice person

My bf isn't a furrie and neither are my guild mates they went hrothgar coz they thought they looked cool

A thumb up for my fluffy lion-bros! *brofist*

It would be nice to meet one :p

You know what? This is actually true, I was having problems finding that perfume (which turned out to be in my invy, not a sparkly clickable) and a Hrothy helped me out, whilst being pretty cheerful too :P

Yup smaller player base, you're going to run into nicer people more often!

Lala's on the other hand are vicious little bitey things.

Need to get the XL rat traps again.

I find baiting the traps with the more expensive foods you have helps.

They are the sweetest for sure! <3 I had one check me out and try to pick me up in his Regalia. Unfortunately for him, bad timing...I was on my Ceremony of Bonding quest with my in-game hunny. Whoops.

We certainly are. :3

Some of the NPCs in ShB Hrothgar are actually turds. But, a lot of them are lovely fluffies.
Got the 'If I fits, I sits' mentality. Such floof.

Unfortunately, "waifu" races (in this case, Miqo'te, Au Ra, and Viera) have a stereotype of being mostly played by socially-challenged "neckbeards".

The idea is that if you run into a female character in a skimpy outfit, it's likely a rude and slobbish guy who's playing it.

Of course that's just a stereotype. It doesn't necessarily explain why you've encountered rude "waifu" characters.

It could also be the fact that catgirls are so crazy popular and numerous that you're bound to run into many personality types. According to the June 2019 census, there were more catgirls than hyur girls, lalafell girls, elezen girls, and roegadyn girls combined! That's a lot of cat girls, which means all kinds of people play it; whereas other less popular races might appeal to certain smaller crowds.

I will say this though. The few female roegadyn players I met were all actually played by women. And roegadyn players (both men and women) that I've met have generally been polite and social.

But in the end, it's never good to generalize. There will always be exceptions.

Unfortunately I think this is just a case of a small population of players that play them, so statistically you're less likely to encounter rude people who are Hrothgar.

On the flip side, I met an extremely rude one in Dun Scaith yesterday. We wiped on the first boss (naturally) and when someone said the healers in other alliances needed to be rezzed and that's why it failed, and I said they wouldn't need to be rezzed if they just didn't die in the first place, so I was defending the other healers. It's kind of hard to die on that fight unless you're just not dodging the easily dodged mechanics. This guy flipped out and told me to stop complaining, that I was so negative, and super annoying. I hardly said anything. They then proceeded to explain mechanics after they happened and it was too late to react to them (oh and sometimes the advice was just "I forget this fight, so just kill this clown"), so I assume they were just fishing for praise or to be seen as some hero, and were only nice to people who sucked up to them.

Anyway, as nice as it would be to know all Hrothgar players are nice, that's not the case. There's just less Hrothgar players overall.

That's an awful generalization, man. Let's not go there and start attacking people. You don't know what any of these players look like or who they are. So, I take it since you are a male Au Ra, that must mean you are one of those hot gamer men with abs and jock-like personality?

I can tell you I may play Viera, but I am far from socially-challenged and a neckbeard. I just happen to love the Viera since FFXII was one of my favorite FF and I love Fran. I'm also super nice and go out of my way to help people when I can. Acting like a majority of people who play attractive female characters are big, fat slobs is probably far from the truth.

It's only natural for them to be, they're big, floofy, and shaped like friends. They undoubtedly give the best and warmest hugs too (this isn't up for debate).

That being said though I am curious to know the "stereotypes" for players of the other races for fun's sake lol...

That doesn't make you sound nice.

I've not met a mean Hrothgar yet either, but to be honest everyone of all races has been nice so far lol. Usually I find those negative occurrences happen more in the high stress content, which I haven't got to yet hehe (strictly speaking my shadowbringers experience thus far).

The council of Hrothgar would like you to reconsider, else we must non-optionally invite you to our rehabilitation camp.. a wonderful place where you're free to believe that which we tell you, absolutely lovely place!

:) (jk ofc)

People were blaming the healers in one alliance for not rezzing the healers in another. I was defending the former by saying it's not their fault the latter died. No part of that is "super annoying", especially when it's the only thing I said. That player (that super nice Hrothgar player) was being extremely sensitive. You zeroing in on that tells me that you're okay with people getting carried and blaming the people who won't carry them.

Besides, I never said I was nice. I'm not the one with rose tinted glasses here.

I don't understand. I explained that it was a stereotype; I worded it in a way to show that it was not my belief, but rather an idea that's out there. I also stated that, due to the high number of Miqo'te characters, that all kinds of people play Miqo'te (and I extend that sentiment to female Au Ra and Viera as well). At the end of my post, I also stated that it's never good to generalize either. What I'm trying to say is, I agree with you. I'm on your side.

I apologize if you felt attacked or offended. That was definitely not my intention.

*Blushes* W-Wow..... such kindness. Thanks everyone.

I've actually noticed that too, especially since a lot of Roes became them.

Between those two races everyone I met has been neutral to just extremely nice. I met one while I was on Primal who played from Australia and managed to beat UCoB on his ping and went into detail about how crazy it was. We were grinding for Skalla gear for about two hours and went into the whole mentality of people getting angry at advice being offered politely after multiple wipes and just not admitting as to what they are getting wrong. It was surreal for me because I normally have those types of conversations between reddit and facebook but in game it almost always ends up being with Roes and now Hrothgar.

Haven't met a bad one either way but I've met more Hrothgar's coming from WoW into XIV, which is refreshing.

I apologize I read it quickly and didn’t pick up on your intent. It came off a bit condescending but I appreciate the explanation.

Ah, quick to assumptions based on the fact that I pointed out a poorly worded sentence. That's okay. Assume what you like. I'll just be happy over here instead.
