Why the JP community mentality is superior to the EN community mentality

[ForteNightshade]

JP has better practice parties, almost everyone stays for full lockout. Compare this to NA/EU where people join practice parties for few pulls.
It is also for this reason why JP has better clear rates for harder content compared to NA/EU.

They refuse to carry bad players in clear/farm parties.
They will simply black list the bad player in the party, disband, and set PF again.

JP community is not perfect. If a player shows really bad preference, they will most likely be known for that to the majority of people who do content via PF.
That player will get black listed by most people and have a harder time clearing content.

This is decidedly untrue. One of the reasons clear rates are so much higher between JP and NA is the former will carry players who have little to no business being in Savage given their skill level. Only when a player is exceptionally bad will they abandon the party.

As for the topic at large. People often forget that NA and EU players simply don't have nearly the same interest in Savage. Whereas many JP players see new content as something they should clear because the developers made it, NA/EU cares only if it interests them. Consider how the roleplay community became so large, it split into two servers—both of which are the largest in the entire game. Meanwhile, JP lacks even a single dedicated server for roleplay. Eureka is another example. In fact, the whole leveling aspect as designed because JP players enjoy continuous level grinds. That's often a complaint in NA/EU because "it's boring."

Chalking it up to simple individualism vs. collectivism or "Americans are too selfish!" is quite disingenuous. We just have vastly different interests and ways of approaching content. Both regions have their flaws and advantages.
