My Experience With Alexander Normal Yesterday As A Tank

[Amberyl]

but im offended by the context in which the OP mentioned french individuals. i certainly dont react like that when i get english speakers in a primarily french run who can not communicate with the party or refuse to because another language is outside their comfortability.

You have every right to be. I lived in Dijon on and off for three years. Some of the nicest people I've ever met.

The language selector is just as binding as every other conduct aspect of the Duty Finder, imo.

Besides, Is Praetorium or Castrum not story mode stuff? You are almost always expected to get new people there. No one would do it if not for the Roulette bonus or (At the time) the Tomes associated with it.

Alex Normal is the same deal.

No, it's not. Castrum and Prae are main story quest, marked as such, and required for progression. Alex is not. It is a raid, and set to a different level of complexity, including the 'causal' version. When you have to clear Alex to play story content in 3.x, then you'll have a case to make. Until then, you do not.

And that still has little bearing on how rude it is to turn up and expect everyone else to explain everything to you. Castrum being a perfect example of how one unprepared player can ruin the entire run.

But I've seen people proudly proclaiming that they advocate to their French-only friends to tick all boxes to cut down their queues.

Why wouldn't they? Everyone does it now. But go do a forum search on duty finder queue times, and tell me who came up with the idea of negating the language function to cut down queue times.

Wait... so it's alright if it's non-English people who tick all the boxes to shorten queue times, but it's not okay if English-only people do that? Because that was kind of your comment to that effect that I replied to.

You're the one singling out a particular language base and pointing fingers. You tell me.

As an aside: lol at where this thread is going. That moment when you realise the forum raiding community in Destiny, which is predominantly made up of ex-Halo kiddies, is less toxic, and better prepared, that a mainstream branded MMO like XIV... o_0
