Enabling poor play and coddling players is probably the most visible. Such as for example a mentor got dogpiled on in Siren's NN for trying to correct a player whom had not done their job quest, because they "didn't feel like doing them". Honestly this probably the most toxic aspect of this game and its community. What can we do about it? It seems to infect almost every corner of this game.
You want to know the worst part about an easy dungeon or raid? When we have someone like yourself who makes an easy raid into one that everyone hates because you worship at the alter of the mechanics. In fact, in many raids there is always one person who goes the entire raid making fun of that type of person even if thankfully they are not in there by mocking the worshippers of the 'mechanics'

Cause we all know the mechanics saved your soul and do you accept the mechanics as your personal lord and savior?

This is not FFXI in fact Tanka and Hawaiian shirt guy were fired or forced to retire after ruining the original FFXIV. This game is played by casuals and geared towards casuals. You're the type of person who comes into a Jazz Club and demands they play country or rock.

People in this game take their time and experience the story. I was once accused by one of you people of buying my account after mentioning I have been playing since 2013 but haven't beaten Stormblood yet after having a bunch of level 80s. That's because I am taking my time and enjoying the sights. I beat ARR for the first time last year and had four level 80s before I beat Heavensward.

Did you know you can't do all class jobs unless you either a) unlocked that specific expansions progress within the MSQ b) Paid to raise your job level to the max.

Have you considered you might have party members who are still in the MSQ ARR storyline and can't unlock new abilities past 50? Same with the rest of the expansions. Once you get to Stormblood even if your max level or level 70 you still can't unlock new job quests unless you beaten certain parts of the stormblood MSQ.

The only toxic person here seems to be you.

Have you considered games geared towards you people? I know those games are free2play and near dead but you got Everquest. FFXI is still there you can get into four man parties to battle rats and bats and die and delevel. That might seem more your peoples speed.

You people are the reason why this thread exists.
