[Personal Opinion] FFXIV is too casual friendly

[dragonseth07]

I think its a lack of tolerance and understanding, I would hope that people runnin the same dungeons for a few years now would be alot better than players who hve been playing about 6 months. Ive seen so many vets leave and give up on new players Ive never seen a new player abandon

Granted, I am still new, but here's my experience:

New players don't abandon, but they rarely if ever fix their mistakes, either. This leads to repeated wipes, until old players get sick of no progress being made, so they abandon a lost cause party.

Of all the players I've met in duties, the ones who actually read chat and fixed their issues in a fight are nearly nonexistent. My clears have come from experienced players being able to carry the people that die the same way 5 times.

Granted, I am still new,

but see the thing is this go back and watch and old guide like on youtube , like an old extreme titan guide, or an extreme ifrit guide, and ull notice people sayin how hard how challenging how many times they had to come back and try again, how some beat it with minutes remaining. With how it is now new players arent given that chance I literally qued for thormarch extreme we died twice once i was the last person alive as a bard, u know what the duty group did left was litearlly 45 mins left, ur average dungeon takes like 15 to 30 mins depending on. So yes vets carry, but at the sametime like I said its no tolerance, Ive seen many new players adjust to do things better in my experience , I take heed to stuff Ive been told myself. Also if content is so easy then unsync wouldn't be a thing for pony farming and such , if it was that easy people would just get some friends together sync up and do it but they dont.

There's a difference. When the content was new and current, those groups trying and wiping were actually making progress. There was a purpose to the grind. My attempts at Levi EX yesterday? They were doomed from the start, because the people doing this content now aren't trying to improve. They're trying to get carried. No matter how many times you tell someone "The tail reflects magic damage", it only matters if that player will actually listen and work.
