Worst end game community ever?

[Applekrumble]

I've noticed that the elitism is prevalent these days; worst ones are the one criticizing others when he's undergeared as well - typical pot calling the kettle black.

I'm running on relic and some AF2+DL gear; I don't see any reason bitching out others when it's CM/AK/Ifrit - these dungeons do not really require a gear check, in particularly when one's self is decked out with sufficient AK/+DL gear. IMHO; if you're doing your stuff correctly - you shouldn't need to worry about others' gears and it's a very much ass move not to help out the new guys or the very least give advice them. If you've been pubbing all day and been getting new guys; and are pretty much sick of it - just back off graciously and tell them that you've had enough and not combust in their faces. There's no reason for being rude.

That said, if one is new to a dungeon/instance run - you ought to tell. It's also an ass move not to reply when someone asks that.

Garuda/Titan runs however need a gear check - anyone less with DL/AK gear and/or with a white weapon at that should really not attempt them in hopes of getting carried.

While I know everyone has their needs vs time situation going on, I have to agree. Post 50 general community sucks pretty bad. Not everyone mind you, and I have met some swell folks on HM Primals and tomestone runs, but overall, there are way more dirtbags than there are good folks.

The main reason why all our raiding is done in-clan. Dirtbag problem solved ^____^

I was one of those 50's whom reached 50 roughly two weeks after launch, I ran into many dbag players however I also did speed runs. I was a Paladin farming for my Darklight shield, the only shield worth a damn till HM Titan, and it only dropped off the last boss in Wanderer's Palace. I failed so many time on that last boss because DPS couldn't handle keeping the mechanic below 4 or them taking to much damage that I died when attacked by the boss.

In the end I actually unsubbed/stopped playing about 3 days after I hit 50, within the first 3 weeks of launch, due to the fact that there was only two ways for me to get gear which could take upwards of 2+ hours with a high risk of no completion. Personally I think it's the difficulties of some dungeons or mostly group content due to various client optimization issues causing such bad behavior, not to mention the sheer lack of content to keep max level players busy in PvE.

I'm also a PS3 player, so I've had hate against me due to that as well. On another note I did enjoy playing FFXIV during my time playing it but once I figured out I had to spend hours upon hours doing the exact same two dungeons before I could even get into the real "end game" I quit. I'll try FFXIV again once the PS4 client comes out and lots of the issues with the gear grinding wall has been removed by at least adding 3 or 4 more dungeons to get gear from that I can use to start tanking HM Primal fights with.

No they don't. Implementing mechanics did nothing for Guild Wars 2, it just made people anti-social. People need to grow up and learn for themselves and that is what's going to happen eventually with this community. Those who can't change will leave and play another game.

You misunderstand.

It's fine if they don't want to reward good behavior, but turning a blind eye to bad behavior only makes things worse.

This is actually not atypical for a MMO, usually the first groups of people to reach end game content are the ones with limtless time on thier hands to do so, that means young people with no job. As the internet has shown us over and over again that demographic is rife with hyper douchebaggery. The only real solution is to pay your sub (if you havent already of course) and wait till the more 'casual' players that have a life/job/family and cant dedicate 20+ hours a week to a single game.

So from what I hear this... Duty Finder on NA region is totally opposite than Duty Finder in JP region then...

In here, they are always polite and respect, and if they plan to make a speed run group, they would shout in town instead.

Totally agree.

@OP, Well at least you didn't buy 90 days worth of Crysta before reaching Lv.50 and being exposed to end-game bullshit; wasted $40, I should've just bought GTA 5 lol.

I have had my fair share of experiences on here and 80% of them are horrible experiences with the community. (As mentioned here, http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...sm-intended%29 )

Basically, I agree with you completely, most of the community are negative and rude people.
