How PL'ing killed FFXIV.

[Estellios]

If you were PL'd it's really your own fault.

I'm working on Gladiator for Ifrit with my friend's MRD and we are voluntarily duoing without any issue at all, joining up with random people that pass by the camps we're at, and even once some random dude PL'd us for like 30 minutes for no reason. I don't hate PLing and I'd take it if it was offered, but we have more fun duoing normally. You don't need anywhere near a full party to get some great XP so you can just make friends-only groups for XPing and have a good time.

People need to man up and take responsibility for how they play the game because playing it one way then complaining about it is kinda dumb, as is complaining about how other people play. Many more people benefit from the option of being PL'd and keeping options open in this regard is good.

The topic has been debated to death. Sure, you can duo. You can trio, as well. But what if you want to get with a full party? Good luck dodging the powerlevel inevitability.
