How much do FRIENDS make a difference with you?

One of the benefits of having a friend in this game is that you can shove his grey parses into his face and telling him to git gud, without fearing him going on OF to cry about how much of a spawn of the devil parser is.

Or trashtalking him about putting countdown macro on the BRD then trying to bait cooldowns on the MNK...then failing to hardswap to the BRD, making us both wasting our bursts...without fearing him going on the OF to cry about how much I am part of the problem leading to Feast chat ban.

I spoke earlier of some of my FC mates feeling like my older brothers. Well one of them is that older brother that shows his love by giving his younger sibling a playful hard time. He constantly boasts about how strong and unkillable he is, and pats me like a lala because he knows it pisses me off. So I, in turn will place a 'love-bite' Rescue on his butt letting him know that I can kill him whenever I damn well please.

FC chat is filled with a lot of smack talking between the two of us, but if anyone, and I do mean ANYONE makes a snide comment towards either of us, we quickly have each other's backs. Someone slapped me after I failed a mechanic in a previous fight that I was doing for the first time, and it was crazy how much of a reflex it was that my "bro" jumped on his case. I honestly feel so fortunate to have these guys, especially after reading some of the comments here. They have shielded me from a lot of the game's toxicity, which is why I am so clueless when people talk about the bad stuff that happens in this game.

Oh, gods, this. It's SO much fun to have people you can low-key troll by shirking the MNK in expert, use an expanded balance but overwrite the BLM's one with a Bole (because you KNOW the <kupo>er is not gonna move) or playing "how low can you go" with the tank lol I wouldn't DARE do that to randos but my friends wouldn't vote kick me 'cause they know it's just for fun.

Not really effected by them, I help them when needed as a good friend yet I don't depend on them to get things done. It would be nice to find dependable gamer friends.
