that sounds awful... why do people have them again?

Because they can eventually turn into pretty cool little people / big people if you do it right.

But it takes so long to level them up. Isn't there a jump potion that we can use?

Why do people without kids or even raised some themselves always feel the need to teach/ or criticize people with kids how to raise them.

Idk way I see it this is like letting your kid scream or cry in a restaurant. I personally cannot fathom any reasonable explanation or reason as to why others should be the ones forced to take action due to the actions of the parent and their child.

I doubt SE will add them, it’d break immersion, though I see no harm in SE boosting exp or making content a little easier, I know hardcore raiders might disagree, but it needs to be more approachable for casual players.

watch your kids when you're raiding. I can't count the times I've had to listen to screaming kids over voice chat when trying to raid something. I don't know how you manage to balance playing a MMO hardcore and raising children, that's none of my business, but please do something if they're screaming, they might have been drinking stuff from under the sink or something.

> Kids over voice chat
>> FFXIV doesn't have a built in voice communication system.

Seems like a weird way to not handle the situation on your own.

I get this is a troll thread, and not as a means to single out your comment just using it as a general context. Should we as players think that voice chat does not play a major part of modern day gaming especially in terms of higher end content? While certainly it is optional in the strictness sense of the word, for many players I can most certainly see how it does not feel optional.

I don’t know whether I agree or disagree with you. As I said being a parent is a full time job, and with what precious little free time the parents have, maybe they would want to spend it doing something fun like playing a video game.

But at the same time, why why WHY would you chose a always online game to play? You don’t know if your child will start crying mid way through a dungeon, trial, raid, etc, it’s a constant bomb waiting to go off, you may be able to predict when a child will start crying and adjust accordingly though but I doubt it’ll be accurate as predicting when you’ll have to leave for class, work, a date, or something else.

Maybe they should focus on crafting and gathering, only play when the child is at daycare/school, playing single player games (Final Fantasy is amazing and it’s relevant to this discussion) or doing something else, idk.

Reason I don't voice chat, is because everyone would probably hear my preschooler yell, "MOMMY, I POOPED!" from down the hall, followed by my grumbling. Life happens.

This is also the reason I'm playing at 3 am..

It's extremely rude, but the only solution is to stay away from "family" restaurants. No big chains. If I ever opened a restaurant I'd have a big fat "NO KIDS" sign on the door. It's not their fault because they are little and don't know any better, but their trashy parents are the worst. Let them cry, order a bunch of food, take forever, and then don't tip. They seem to think it is the restaurant's responsibility to watch little Timmy as he darts between server's feet who are carrying trays of heavy and hot food as well as drinks. Trash. A huge waste of a server's time and they always leave behind a colossal mess. These people should be forced to tip 75% of the bill for the way they behave, better yet, they shouldn't be allowed in at all. You'll never catch me in a Chili's. lol Overpriced microwaved food and squalling children. No thanks!
