Final Fantasy XIV and a Culture of Enabling

[Vinupra-Rosa]

So its okay for one group to be toxic and grief another portion of the the player base? Its okay for a section of the player base to be taken advantage of? Pretty bad take.

You're the one here going 'i'm being taken advantage of' simply because another person is not performing up to what standards you yourself have set. That is a bad take. And, again, you have more than enough the tools on hand to avoid this if you want to actually do something about it - - namely, you can run as a premade, or leave a duty, or kick the offending individuals[1]. Furthermore you can file a report for harrassment if someone is actually being toxic and griefing you.[2]

And I did mention that people who are doing bare minimum (or not) might not necessarily be doing it with the intent of 'having a free ride' - - - in my experience the people who do this are few and far between. Most of the time people just need guidance and/or patience, people on average get better with time. I try to help them, and see good results most of the time, and it probably helps that I don't get annoyed when people mess up and I do honestly like teaching people.

You think too highly of yourself and fuss too much about others, honestly. Just chill down. It's duty finder of all things, there's no need to get particularly heated about it. If people are consistently 'leeching' on you in party finder content like extremes and savages? You have a platform to stand on. Duty finder? Yeah no.

[1] - make sure there is an actual valid reason for the kick, like someone being offline, refusing to play (as in, not participating at all), or if the party just straight up can't clear because of them (like being a gladiator in dohn mheg, or wearing level 20 gear in a level 41 duty)
[2] - It must be an actual and provable case of griefing, like aiming cleaves with the intention of wiping the party, rescuing people into AoEs, hurling slurs at the chat, and the like.
