This is often how I see new players treated in FFXIV:

[Aeyis]

Well, m'self and 6 others are going to disagree with you. the OP lied about what he did By his own admission, wouldn't even claim it was himuntil I called him out for it, again by his own admission. Yeah, I have a bad attitude. I don't like people who feel entiteled. Being new doesn't make you special. Speak up and get help, earn your place dont ride on the backs of others and get mad when they won't hold your hand the whole way.

Interesting

You're avidly defending a group of players and that's fine but there's an entire other group out there that deserve to play the way they want to....

For those that simply say I'm new now treat me better, they can go to hell.

So their money is worth more than mine?

NOBODY is entitled to forcing other people to do it their way. Nobody's money is worht more than anyone elses, that's a silly argument.

For someone that hates other feeling entitled you sure are awfully....entitled yourself.




Also, may I ask what 6 others? You seem awfully sure that the entire group agrees with you. You wouldnt have happened to join with 7 people? Otherwise its strange, I think.


Now being new in a duty does make a person special. SE agrees with this, in fact. Anyone that is a nice person agrees with it, in fact. Anyone that isnt a jerk agrees with it, in fact.

"Hi, i'm new here and I WILL be watching the cutscenes"

and that is all what you need to do when you use DF...it is easy yet so hard

No one should be treated badly - new player or vet, but it happens all the time. All I know is even Yoshi said:

we feel that we shouldn't make players feel forced to rush through everything or skip over any of the content and allow them to go through it actually enjoying it, especially if you wanted to take the time to enjoy it.

So even he feels players (new or old) should take their time, enjoy the game and not skip over stuff if they don't want too. I think everyone just needs to relax and take a breath. Personally, I don't mind waiting 30 seconds to a minute to allow someone to watch a cut scene. If I am really that short on time that I can't even wait that long, I probably shouldn't be logging in. lol XD

I am pretty sure - a lot of people (even the ones who tell people to skip cut scenes) will not skip cut scenes once 3.0 comes out... and then go back to telling people to skip them once they have because they don't want to wait. We wouldn't want people telling us to skip something new, yet people do it to others all the time.

If a player knows that if it's a new CS (like the ones coming up in 3.0,or the 2.5-whatever that just came out today to finish the story line) they won't skip it the first time they see it, don't make people skip it on their first time. I don't look at it as a player asking to be treated treated special, when it comes to cut scenes, to me they are asking to be treated equally.

sometime it is not about short of time but about to get it over with to go in (the same fight) again.

At the end of the day people play this game to have fun.We should try and be respectful other players in their play styles. The community is what makes a mmo great.

That's why I said I, and was only talking about myself - not every player.

That said - yes true, but whats 30-60 seconds? I mean there are people who kick players for watching a cut scene because they didn't like it. But for that you have to wait for them to get out of the cut scene, then initiate the kick, wait for people to vote to kick them, then queue up for a new replacement, then wait for that person to join - which wastes more time than letting someone watch a CS. It would be quicker to just let them watch the CS and get on with the fight.

Also people aren't going to get a new person ever single time they go into a fight, now and then yes. But people aren't wasting time on CS's every single time they queue.

Duty Finder was a horrible idea.

Duty Finder was a horrible idea.

I (personally) never liked the idea from the first moment they said they were going to put it out - honestly to me it just screamed harassment tool. I know its great for time management, finding groups and helping people... but it's abused so much in so many ways. Ah, well... maybe one day everyone will get along and have fun, since this is just a game. XD
