Please do not turn off your chat in dungeons

[Ferrasper]

I never understood why people don't talk in dungeons. I have ran into a lot of nice/funny people in them. Plus, if no one says anything. Not even a hello. I don't give them coms because I find that disrespectful. I don't care how well you did. I just want a bloody Hello.

>XP You cant expect a hallo from me!
I find it strange greeting foreign people, living around the world!
Or do you greet foreign people on the street in a city you never was before? o-o; I dont!

Snip!

So, this is what I want to share about "Netiquette" I learned from playing a MMO with Japanese as the main source of playerbase.
In an instanced runs or when you get in a party using party finder (similar like that) they usually have at least an auto-chat to say hello/greetings.

Now, you might still say, you don't wanna greet foreign people because you don't greet others when you're in the city, I don't either, I don't greet people in Mor Dhona/Idyllshire/Limsa.

But when the game forces you, actually, you force yourself to use DF/PF to get an instanced runs, all 4 of you are stuck together in that 1 instance until the run ends, This is not the same context as greeting someone in town.

Tbh, I personally don't care either about greetings, I'll just automatically assume someone is more/less friendly from whether they actually use that small shortcut to say hello. what, it's only pressing [Enter]+[Tab]+[2]+[3] = {Hello!}

I think you would, if you want to team up with those foreign people to do things like... fighting the evil mayor or sealing the city-haunting demon, don't you think so too?

I think it's common to greet ppl, who do right now the same thing at the same place to achieve the same goal by working together, don't you agree?

Here it's even common to greet ppl e.g. in waiting room at the doctors. Or to greet ppl, working in the same company (even if there are 1000s of ppl working) just by saying "Hello" at least when passing by.

You can find a PS3/4 compatible keyboard for less than FFXIV's monthly subscription cost. This is a multiplayer game, it's intended to be social and communicative.

(I seem to have misplaced my keyboard.)

I think he's trying to be passive-agressive... But that's just me.

It doesn't take long to press the center pad, X, Triangle, then press "h" and "i" on the soft keyboard. You can do it while on the black loading screen before the dungeon. Alternately, you can make a macro in probably a minute or two that says whatever greeting you want to say, and hit that on entering the dungeon. Or, press options, left, left, emotes, and emote whatever you'd like as a greeting. Dishing out full sentences is one thing, but being polite is not out of reach for any PS4 player.

I always say hello at the start and give my thanks at the end, but I can fully understand why people aren't very chatty during the dungeon as a whole. Games with fast-paced, busy combat like FFXIV don't really give a lot of leeway for casual conversation when you're in the middle of fighting something and you're almost always fighting something in a duty. It varies by class and role, but generally if you have time to sit there and type out coherent sentences that don't have anything to do with mechanics there's probably something else you could be doing to perform your role better. I personally find it irritating when people start screwing up a lot and prolonging the run because they're too busy being Chatty Cathy instead of paying proper attention.

That and people don't usually have anything interesting to say anyway.
