    I could have pointed at NA manners a long time ago, but as you said this was supposed to be a discussion about language. But anyway, I still get the feeling that you're making assumptions about the Japanese community as a whole. Yes, there are a lot of Japanese players (I'd assume mostly from FFXI) that have a bad taste in their mouths from experiences in FFXI. There are others who simply are scared to try and speak English. And then there are those that don't mind and would like to party with English speaking players.

    You just admitted yourself, not all of them are like that.

    Edit for an Edit:

    Rein i must ask. Just because some NA players Leave when they lvl or are stupid ... do you think it is right for them to say JP only? i mean not all NA players do that. Its not right it wrong to dismiss a full NA playerbase. and im sorry if i have a problem with that. What do you think?
    I think you're trying to hard to pinpoint a specific reason for why they say "JP Only" and also being a bit narrow minded on the Japanese perception of the meaning of "JP Only" as we recently had someone attest to what one possible interpretation is.

    Of course i never said they all are. So thats moot.But there are MORE THEN A FEW who are. You act like its 12 people only. Its not.

    Still its wrong to discount the full NA playerbase because of a few. Just like you are telling me its wrong to dismiss the JP player base (which IMO i am not but you seem to think i am).

    The point I'm trying to get across is that the majority of those who do not want to play with English speaking players is probably not simply because they hate you.

    My point is i do not care if its because they hate me. Point is if they do not invite me i do not want to be on that server IF i have that choice. I will play no matter what they do TBH.
