The Community Is Fine - people are not perfect, neither are you

[zakalw3]

I agree with the OP 100%. To claim that this game is worse than any others out there is ridiculous. Just because you found a group of friends easier in one game and had a couple bad experiences with some people doesn't make this game a bad one. I've met a ton of awesome people already and have chose to simply ignore the bad ones.

I played FFXI until end of Seekers of Adoulin. I have done FF11 game and even participated in Ballista Royale. I thank you for your caring but I do have friends to play with, but nevertheless it doesn't change the issue that there is something wrong with current FF14 gaming community. I am not complaining about fourm community, because it is same everywhere at global scale.

Again, the challenge.

Jump into x dungeons and start conversations with random players.

I can guarantee you the majority will be polite and decent.

Does this include those players who failed once on Garuda, but not willing to try again. Dont want to take 15 min penalty and decides to take off gear and keep pulling Garuda until someone gives up and take the 15 min penalty? Is there a english term for polite asshat?

I had the exact same thing on Titan.

"Those players" being in the extreme minority.

So basically what you're saying is that a minority of players across multiple servers (in DF of all things LOL) gave you a few bad experiences so the entire community in this game is bad? If you had said that 4/8 people were doing this then you would have a strong point, but I'm willing to bet that it was 1/8 people doing this which makes that person a minority.

Originally in FFXI beastmasters would pull large trains of monsters to NMs in order to kill somebody who had claim on said NM in order to steal it. Eventually the devs responded and made monsters run back to their location but this went on for a good 1 or 2 yrs before the issues were addressed. That's just one example (I can think of A LOT more) to show that every community, even FFXI, has bad apples.

I think I know everything.

lol, that is just one dirty corner of all the rotten and you take it literally and think that is the sole reason? No, it is not, there are many other issues, what I have said is basically just a small amount sand in the desert.

Want some more examples?

Tank que WP, train everything, open chest, got they want then leave.....
Asshats randomly thorwing out insults.....
Kiddies forced new players to skip cutscene because they want to get out cm 5 mins faster....

Want more? There are plenty more examples

What are you talking about? You used DF as an example to display how this community is so bad, I replied to it saying that 1/8 people being rude is a minority. I have had a lot more good experiences with the community in this game than bad ones. If you want me to touch on the other "rotten" people then why don't you give some more examples that are actually realistic and not whine about a bad duty finder experience with ONE person.

Are you trolling me? My comment is simply as response to that other poster who quote my statement? Whatever makes you think that is sole reason you belevie that is why i am saying community has serious issue is because you jump the line. Didnt read whole thing, and make a comment about it. Typical error made by all posters.

To my knowledge I've never played with this player, but I have encountered all of these problems (among others) which to me suggests it isn't as uncommon as some of you seem to think. If you've never had to deal with bad players then good for you, I'm envious. But don't tell us who have, that everyone in the community is helpful and loving when it's a flat out lie.

49% is still a lot of assholes.
