Marriage Roulette

[Theodric]

-snip-

I completely agree. My partner and I live together in the real world and our characters are bonded in-game. Yet we often go off and do our own thing. Why? Because it's healthy - and interacting with people other than one's significant other is important. In my experience - and I mean no offence by this - players who absolutely must do everything with somebody else are generally very clingy and prone to drama.

I may get some flack, but I really dislike people who *must* play with a specific person for everything. You're a far worse player for doing that, not in a community sense but a personal sense. Playing with randoms teaches adaptation and gets you used to having to think on your feet.

Met far too many who say they're an amazing healer/tank...but only with their tank/healer partner; anyone else and they become a complete noob at their role.

There's also something unhealthy about always needing to play with a specific person, so much that not being with them causes distress.

You guys are making some massive generalizations here about couples playing this game together...it's kind of ridiculous to throw everyone into one pot.

You know nothing about OP's relationship yet you declare they always "must" want to play with each other just because they asked to do some roulettes together. Also saying people who constantly play together are automatically worse players....like I don't get where people make this stuff up from.

Unhealthy? The only unhealthy thing is the fact you guys are putting down fellow players for being in a relationship where they enjoy playing with each other. You have no basis for telling other people when too much time together is too much. You are not their therapists and you don't know their life or even remotely who they are since this is the internet.

My boyfriend and I spend time together on this game, and we also spend a lot of time doing our own thing. We don't like all the same content so I do stuff on my own a lot. He does stuff on his own that I don't like as much. Sometimes I do stuff with him that he enjoys even if I don't care for it just to spend some extra time and vice versa.

But you know what? Even I have thought at some points I wish I could queue together with BF today. All the time? Likely not, I don't even do the roulettes on a consistent basis and neither does he.

Will SE do it? I don't know. It isn't a deal breaker for me so I don't really mind either way, but these responses were pretty rude if you ask me (like calling people clingy, and worse players; those things add nothing to the discussion).

You cannot just make tons of generalizations about couples or say your own relationship is the only way it works. Everyone is different, our lives are all different, our relationships are all different.

Thank you for saying no offence, as none is taken ^^ and hopefully my post will be viewed as such.

You have to think outside the box (monitor) - When 2 people work (real work, no mamas and papas paying for you) that takes a huge chuck of time away. Add Kids, even less.

We have lots of activities beyond this game (now that's HEALTHY!) We just started Kendo yesterday, and it was a Blast!

Ok on topic.

So when my BF purchased this game, it was for both of us to enjoy a good time together, and then sometimes he plays alone, sometimes it's me, to catch up to him since he plays since Beta ^^

The drama comes in many ways, no need for a game, but add people who play who are alone and never got to see the sun outside, somes are prone to be acting like Divas or DramaQueens..

So yeah, it's not that everyone MUST absolutely do everything with their lover. Missed the point.

I proposed to ADD more Roulettes! And since they can allow more than one to do some of the Roulettes already, the programmed module for it to allow more roulette and being unlocked is created already.

And we have FC/LS/Friends in the game when we want to chat, or to complete dungeon runs because we got paired with Randoms who were not able to help us complete the instance for whatever reason.

So hope it's clearer. To ADD more Roulettes, or unlock those.

Oh! and what everyone will say when they'll unlock GC Ranks? We will be able to Hire mercenaries.. so us 2 + 2 mercenairies, lot's of people will cry that they don't have us to help clear what they want thereafter.

So it seems obvious that they can do it.

I leave it up to them to decice if they should.

Just like any other suggestion in the game, like Glamour this and that. (QoL they say, can't live without glam - now that's healthy lol)
