What is a BAD player?

[Melch]

What?

You're making it too much of a "you raiders" vs "us casuals". Some people like to raid because it's actually challenging and you also meet some smart and nice people there.
You don't like to raid, it's fine. But don't give us the "I don't have time" card.

I respect both perspectives on this one. I personally used to hate raiding as I used to not like playing with others, but FF14 started me on the raid band wagon. I now love doing ex primals and dungeons and desperately want to get into Alexander. XD I will say that, while time isn't the sole reason preventing players from doing raids, it is indeed a factor. I usually work from 4pm to 12am at my hotel and when I get home is when I hop on to play some ff14. That time period sucks for trying to gather up a party for pretty much anything on my server.

One could say, "oh well play before work." Sure that is an option, but I have to consider other IRL activities and "Do I wanna be awake for that?" XD Basically as I stated above, time is a factor but not the end all reason for some not doing raids. I agree that if said player REALLY wanted it, they could make time, but I don't think there is anything wrong with not wanting to make time for it either. I personally think the game offers plenty to do for the non raider types though.

EDIT: Couple of options for those who want to raid but have trouble being on a the right times, are Link shells and large Fc's. (I need more link shells as my FC is made up of IRL friends. XD)
