Community expectations

[BigRed5392]

i personally wish players were less cut throat over "differences of play style" and not go out of their way to be rude to others over it, using buzz words as baddie, noob, carry, mediocre.

Going out of your way to ruin another persons time over something arbitrary, that not everyone agrees with, is petty. It is stuff like this, that make me wish me and my g/f coulda stayed on tonberry. Least the jp community is more organised and less cut throat. Saddly my job sitation had us move or i wasn't able to get much done.

This so much man.

People need to let go and cut slack over faceroll content for all things. There are different venues in the game that push for excellence. Why get aggravated over that one person underperforming in a place like Sastasha or ARF for that matter is a mystery to me.

The JP community is less "cut throat" because they understand that playing their best makes the community better. The western communities are more into the Its My Sub And Im Going To Do What I Want camp.

The JP community is more organized because gaming as a hobby / recreational activity is taken more seriously in Japan. That and as a society they take a fundamentally different approach towards respect to group time and dynamics.

The DF on Japanese servers isn't treated as a testing ground and the "who cares it's just ----" mentality isn't prevalent because while the level or ease of content may be insignificant what they as players are treating with value is your time an issue that we currently have in the western community.

Nobody is asking for perfection, especially from those newer to content.

What they usually are asking for however is a modicum of effort, one shows that you feel the 3/7/23 other party member's time is just as valuable as your own.

Incidentally if the latest unofficial census is to be believed Tonberry has the lowest Savage Alexander clear rate of ALL Japanese servers while also having the largest western presence.

Food for thought.

Just....I love you for this, that's all.

I keep seeing this and while it sounds like a good lesson, it keeps manifesting into other problems on the NA server from both ends. What community is left is too fragmented.
