I just can't understand the mentality. + My thoughts.

That being said, I have gone and raided. I have cleared SCoB savage synced, and normal coils. I've done A3S pre nerf, and T7 Pre nerf. They weren't "hard". The only difficulty was lag spikes, and people just not getting it. Which unfortunately makes me also fail it since the dungeons are designed to not be able to carry them in 99% of the cases.

On what character? This one says that you have not cleared SCoB Savage, nor finished SCoB

[Skivvy]

because at this point people who love ff11 are exactly like vegans you don't care if they only eat vegetables but you sure don't want to hear them talk about it.

seriously just say the trigger word and here comes the ff11 fanbase comming to show you how organic ff11 was and how we should be ashamed to play this game and support them.

This game has plenty of flaws that stand out on their own, even when not comparing it to XI. Don't you fret

If you talk about these things often, then you might just be ruining other people's enjoyment of the game by constantly talking about how bad it is. Have you ever watched your favorite movie with someone who goes "that would never happen!" while you're trying to immerse yourself in it? If you criticize the game every time there's new content, or if someone says how much they like a boss fight or the story, it's going to get annoy real fast.

And a tip: Don't tell people that raiding is easy. They're wiping over and over for several nights a week, and you're basically saying they suck since it's NOT easy for them.

Oh how I miss it 4 years to get a rdm hat and 5 years to get rdm body and helping the select few get their relic weapon every week. As for repeating the same dungeon we did sea,sky, dynamis every single week over and over again. Only thing 14 is missing is open world content and if they start getting diadem right we will have that and hopefully more alternate things to come.

It'd be fair if that's all I said, but I do say and explain many reasons why many people wipe is NOT due to them, but others. Has nothing to do with them. I wipe most times, but that's not because I'm making errors, it's other people in the group, and that is how it is for most people. I even explain that.

I also again don't talk about things I dislike about FFXIV very often.

It's because the way you worded it sounded like you were bashing ffxiv and making it sound like it would never live up to your expectations like ffxi did. And honestly many players don't want to hear/ read that crap. Especially if a person does it repeatedly.

You have to understand that many people love this game and if you go around bashing it just because it's not like ffxi of course people are going to spite you

Sad day we live in, when voicing an opinion once about FFXIV in half a years time is 1 time too many.

[MilesSaintboroguh]

Not to mention people are sick of hearing about how FF11 is "better" or that FF14 is "dying". You may have wanted to strike a convo about such issues, but it's the same song and dance people been through for years. Heck, look at every discussion about the cash shop, housing, current raids, etc. Everyone always has a solution, but no one gets anywhere, another person comes in some time later to chime in with the same opinions, rinse and repeat.

Is it any wonder why people are so testy with certain issues?

[Lunaxia]

So, to clarify: you have one class at end game, and the easiest, most mindless button mashing class there is to boot; you are in gear that became irrelevant two patches ago, leading me to believe you have scarce touched much, if any, end game content; contrary to your story, you haven't even finished the level 50 raids synced, let alone Alexander or even SCoB Savage... and yet you still feel perfectly justified in not only complaining about how inferior and "simple" the game is compared to FFXI, but you're actually going up to players who have far more experience and know more than you and criticising how easy it all is - and then complaining when they get annoyed at you? Seriously?

Do me a favour, pick up a healer or a DPS with an actual rotation to keep up, go do any Savage content and then whine about how "easy" it is.

[Blackcanary]

Doesn't matter how much you say quests are not like 11 or battles are not like 11 etc. At the end of the day 11 is no longer like 11, yes 14 needs tweaks and more varied content but still I have had more actual playtime (as in actually doing stuff not standing around shouting for people to join x quest,fight,dungeon,exp,synergy), in the past 3 years than I did in 10 years on 11.

FFXIV isn't as great as you make it out to be do you know how many time i had to wait 1 hour in DF? the answer is a lot of times. And I'm on the Odin server.

The amount of time lost sitting round in PF is just time wastingly painful.

It never took me 1 hour to make a party in FFXI maybe i was lucky, compered to you.
