First Time bonus - abandon?

[Souljacker]

Short answer: No they do not get the bonus if the First Timer leaves.

Long Answer:WTF has come over the community? I remember not that long ago people actually going out of thier way to be supportive and helpful of first timers? Is it because we got an influx of players form other MMOs? if So keep that kind of behavior to yourselves and spend a long time in introspection.

Be careful about blaming other mmos. In fact, this community is one of the most toxic I've ever seen and that's even accounting for WoW at the height of its popularity circa Lich King. There's nothing special about this community that makes it the 'nice' one and all the bad people coming in are from 'other mmos'. Some of the WORST players here are the ones you click on and they have all jobs at cap. That's not someone from some other mmo.

That's a FFXIV native. Those are the players that need to chill out already.

I'm someone that came from wow (12 years of playing that) and I've always read how amazing and nice the community is in this game, but all I see are complains and people angry and verbal abuse and whatnot.
I've been playing this since 2014 (with breaks) and I've seen mostly horrible people ever since.

Personally the best or nicest community I've been a part of was Guild Wars 1 back before GW2 was released and many bad ones joined that.

I mean, if you’re going off of the OF, well that’s the OF.

I’ve been playing since Nov 2015 with only 1 2-month break, and I see more nice/silent people than horrible ones. Anecdotes are anecdotes.

This simply isn't true, at all. WoW still has one of the worst, i can't go a day in that game without a racial or other biggoted slur tossed, much less being toxic to other players. I can go months without someone truly toxic here, and they seem to get dealt with pretty quickly.

Hello everyone, I do not think my thread is anymore relevant as SE has answered many pleads like mine to solve cutscene issue.
We can watch comfortably and accept the direct teleport into battlefield once finished. Thank you all for replying - it has solved this also!

That is your opinion, which does not mirror mine. To say it isn't true implies you have actual empirical data that supports you case. Would you mind linking to it so I can review it?

I actually think this game's community is more toxic than WoW's because of what I consider toxic. You and I likely have very different definitions of what we consider toxic.
