The Solo disease?

[Kilta_Firelotus]

I think those who let bad parties rule their gaming should really ease up. And don;t preach if they can't do Those who stick to their friends or LS;s is what is ruining ffxiv for alot of ppl. I can't even talk to anyone... I've talked to 4 ppl in this game. and been playing for almost a mnth. IMO that is a bad mmo community. I've had both good and bad parties in ffxi. And I do not let each rule my game play. TBH the first person I talked to wad Vid who started the convo by saying "you are on the wrong server" ^.^ nice way to start ffxiv :P

You have an odd inability to distinguish between discussing & attacking.

Why? What you have stated is more or less true, but you didnt give any reasoning for the statement. Why should MMO's be group focused?

Your claims that soloists are anti-social is just the sort of backwater thinking that I am talking about. Does that mean that people who don't play MMO's at all are all anti-social? Anyone who plays offline RPGs, they must be anti-social too, because they are choosing to play a single player game over an online game.


I talk mostly of scalable content that can work perfectly for either side. Why would a company choose to make content for one or the other, when they can make it for both?


Why? Multiplayer doesn't mean that you have to form groups with these other players, just that they exist in the same persistent world as you. So Why are MMO's, by their nature, group games? "It just is." Is not an answer to anything.

This is the post Kilta quoted. She edited it and took it out of context. No surprise there.

Bad parties do not rule my gaming experience. Bad parties ruin my random group request experience. i have plenty of fun when i am with friends. Although it hasn't occured in this game yet. Partying with friends and LS members gives way to talking and using stategy and tolerence of someone not that well equipped. Working with friends also leads to helping that one person who needs a helping hand.

random group requests leads to rushing and ppl dropping if something goes bad. Theres no tolerence with random groups.

As for whats killing FFxvi. Its not that you cannot find groups, since grouping is not needed yet. I say its a quite a few reasons but thats for another thread.

Its not ppl not talking to each other thats a prob either. IMHO it would be a shitty chat system and the excessive use of animations that ruins the chatting. IMHO its a pain in the butt to open chat while crafting, attacking or anything except when you stand in 1 spot.

Not really, a discussion is when two sides see the other point not twist something and back peddle/ deny saying things. Read his replies carefully. You can tell he hates grouping. It is very obvious. He keeps saying multiplayer isn't about grouinbg that there are no mmo rules that mmo are about grouping.
And again firther attacks a anyone who stated "you will end up in a grpup at some point" and he keeps asking why? and Why is that so special? And when people reply to this. Giving ff as a perfect example. He disregards it as someone who think "they are right and he is wrong". I can find more qoutes to prove this.

lol.... ya ima quote tdj AGAIN. gimi a sec and i'll edit this post.

Yeah, edit his post, take it out of context, and pass it off as if that's what he said.



@Kilta.

WHAT THREAD ARE YOU READING? It sure isn't this one.

Asking someone "why?" is not an attack...

Also, you're doing a lot of twisting around of posts yourself. So by your definitions, you should stop attacking the OP = D

[Kilta_Firelotus]

@ options actually and I'm saying it nicely. you let a bad experiemce rule your game. Since u had bad random parties, you now dislike any of them

@ asment No i took out the stuff that was irrelivent/ the quote only fit if I shortent it. And no I'm not dumb either. I gave good examples on how multiplayer in an RPG can infact mean GROUPING.

He is still asking for solo content or the same content a group can do but solo. Now This isn't stating "easy content" Or he is asking for "easy content" BUT content does infact need to be either or. WoW is a good example. You can solo from 1-max. I perfer leveling in a group. And asked my b/f at the time if he wanted to do quests with me. Even he told me "why bother you can solo the quests". I asked other people, I got the same reply. When content can be solo'ed or done in a group. People would solo just to get it done w/o wasting time. And will infact tell people who perfer to group "it solo-able no reason to group".

Yeah, edit his post, take it out of context, and pass it off as if that's what he said.



@Kilta.

WHAT THREAD ARE YOU READING? It sure isn't this one.

honestly your the only childush one here. It was questioned if he did stated scaoled content for both solo and group players. That is true. I provided the exact qoute of that and took out the irrelivent part. Due to the fact i couldn't post the whole quoted post. I didn't change any word in what was said. Or implied anything by it. Just priving he did infact wote it.

[Frisque]

First: I respect the OP's desire to play the game the way he wants to. It's not the same way *I* want to play, but I'm not playing his game or having fun for him.

Second: When I was reading that whole back & forth exchange between Jester & Kilta, for some reason the thing that kept popping in my head was an old post. In this post, I vaguely recall that Kilta told an anecdote about how in FFXI she was ostracized for trying to play a melee Red Mage (read: play the way SHE wanted to play her character). I find it quite ironic that someone who so vehemently defended a player's right to have fun the way the player deems fit is now trying to say that the way someone wants to have fun is wrong.

Lastly: I'm going to bed now. But thanks for the entertaining read (pretty much all day long off & on)
