Is it me, or has the FF15 exodus lead to a drastic drop in player quality?

People will come back when 3.5 comes out, there always a increase in players around a major patch.

Yes people will come back, but it's not going to be as big as people think. Ever since 3.0 started less and less have been coming back, and given 3.5 isn't slated to drop until likely mid Jan, I don't see anyone wanting to come back to 14 anytime soon that has left for other games or purposes, even more so with Christmas 19 days away and all the possible deals on games people didn't pick up for black friday.

Well just about one month until 3.5, it will pass quick. Meanwhile maybe you could be a mentor and use the unused time to help new players

type A; the super elite claiming to be the best and know everything who criticize every single person in the party for every single thing they do or dont do.

Did a little correction, because the kind of people you describe are wannabes with a big ego and little skill. This kind of people are not representing the serious raiding scene.

I've noticed the opposite, actually. For the most part my runs have been going much better. Thanks that pull big, DPS that know their class, healers that DPS...

Or at the very least it's remained the same. Not sure what relevance FFXV would have.

I haven't noticed any major change with EU data center. Some of my friends are still playing FFXV. That doesn't mean they are quitting FFXIV though. Also, it's holiday season. People will be busy with Christmas and New year.

Much slower queue times so i do daily tribes, check retainers and squad and log out. Then i either go play FFXV or ESO
Like a +20 min wait for Expert Roulette... not worth it
