Don't like DPS queue time? Roll a tank or healer!

[Priya]

I don't know if this is something that is endemic to the "ME" generation

You had me until here.

Apparently so.

In any case, SB launched with two DPS classes. I'm surprised that so many people are complaining about the DPS queue times, given the fact that everyone knew that oodles of people would be playing RDM's and SAM's.

I'm pretty sure it's a "Me Me Me!" thing that more people aren't willing to level tanks and healers first. But I could be wrong...

I'm sorry, but I don't think people playing what they enjoy has anything to do with generational divides. By all means, tell people to stop complaining, but why would you bring in something totally irrelevant to that especially as a means to insult them for not playing tanks/heals?

Considering your PVP Topic where you are all about ME!ME!ME!, you are quite a hypcrite not to mention what Tank runs around Level 68 with level 60 Gear? This means that you actually do only PVP and just act for your own fun. Or you do not care a bit about the healer in the group. Yes but the other people are about ME!.

Stormblood could have lauched with 2 dps, (sam and red mage) and 10 brand new tank classes. DPS qeues would still be exactly the same..

Dark did NOTHING for queue times. it did nothing for the tank population as a whole. virtually all the people that picked up dark were people that were either pld or war in arr. the overall tanking population was the same..

I'm surprised people aren't demanding AI party members (you know like FFXI has, or SWTOR)

But the thing I geniunely dislike about MMO communities is the lack of caring by other players. This is how things go down...

If I volunteer my time to help someone, I become that person's first contact to do -everything-, if not -all- content. Despite any other friends I may have in the game. Some people are extremely abusive about this prospect and I even have to deal with it outside the game. Millennials are the most impatient entitled people ever, and if you don't give them what they want, then they passively aggressively threaten to harm you, your friends or themselves to try and guilt you into helping. "Gamers" especially are prone to this insane demand that -someone else- fix something for them. Not they fix it themselves, but someone else is clearly responsible for this state of being.

The answer is in front of everyone's face. If you do not like the DPS queues, roll a tank or healer. If you don't like getting shouted down for being a bad healer/tank, then don't roll one, and wait your turn in the queue, or find some reasonable friends. In most cases there are people who casually will help if they are available, but don't want to be married to your schedule.

PS: This is why I won't touch the mentor system in FFXIV. Having being the "go to person" to get through certain content in a certain MMO until a patch removed the need of my services for that part of their main storyline, it was a personal kind of hell doing it for free. As soon as you log into the game you'd get flooded with 100's of messages demanding help.

If someone's threatening to harm you or themselves, you should report them to the proper people. Idk what calling them names will accomplish.

You have no idea what I've been through. People do not know personal boundaries in a MMO's ends at THIS MMO.

Was it being mocked for lecturing people on how to play healers when you hadn't even completed half of Heavensward? I hear that can be a little traumatizing.
