Welcome to FFXIV! Glad you've enjoyed your experience thus far.

1 welcome out of 200+ views i guess this forum is just as toxic an unwelcoming as any other mmo forums just a brief look at it there seems to be the right amount of salt here for a mmo forum.

Not sure about that. We have way, way, way, way more lurkers than we have posters, to start. Secondly, there are a lot of people who are a bit sociably awkward and probably don't want to extend themselves.

I saw a thread about raids not being "as optional" which is concerning but overall not enough people raiding soo hey the best solution ios to forces others to do it by locking stuff behind it.

This whole thing? I kind of blame it on the baggage associated with the term "raiding". Like, "alliance raids" have the word "raid" in it, but it's some of the most casual content in the game, which errs on being more forgiving since asking 24 people out of 24 person group to understand the content to succeed would be a bit much. General rule of thumb is the game expects half of the people to get it right in ARR, and 75% of the people to get it right by the end of Stormblood. Wipes still happen in Dun Scaith and stuff so there's enough gravity to encourage people to try but it's not really high-end content.

The game also has normal raids, which are kind of just like Trials Lite, and again not quite what people think of when they think of raiding. What people mean when they think of raiding is the max level savage raids, ultimates, etc., which is never required for anything.

Happy you like the game and hope you play til 80.

I endorse this advice. Fantasia to roegadyn, the superior race.

I may have been in error when I returned I was pleasantly surprised that 7 /9 post were actually friendly civil mistake reading your response till unlike your well thought out constructive you have the 2 hostile childish responses below when judged solely by all the posts before them still a better ratio than most mmo forums.

Still its the forcing you to group things more than you need i must admit i only skimmed the post I didn't read it but when i got form it is were attempting bolster a portion of the game that didnt have a large emogh player base by making it a mandatory posrtion of the game by gating something behind it it in some way.

still if it is at the level of doing the mandatory dungeons then it should only be a minor inconvenience.

Read my comment below I believe you are mistaken as the other poster was.

Ha ha. Yeah. The race thing is friendly ribbing; I think all of the races in FFXIV are great and there's no bad choices.

i think you are mistaken I quite picked correctly Miqo'te are First with Hyur Highlanders taking 2nd and Midlanders taking 3rd . ROE didn't even make the Podium. You see I did my research.

Thank you . very much other than a few bad seeds getting triggered over a valid first impression of this place which i will admit has not been proving in the context of the "entire" forum but still does retain some validity.

I am happy there are people like you and the other ones who have posted friendly civilized things are here and you are all apreciated.

I am especially glad my posts have given you a fresh insight into the game

People seem to be commenting on everything but my impression of the game its nice to here some feed back on that

I really do appreciate it thank you. I am really impatient when I want to know something and end up doing a google search at the time I want to know something but if that ever fails me I will let you know.
