Final Fantasy XIV and a Culture of Enabling

[Jadedsins]

This is a multiplayer game so I don't really see this as an excuse since it's what you signed up for.



Multiplayer game, not singleplayer.



Content is made to be done by people who put in the work to do it, the amount is just different.

Respect the fact that this is a multiplayer game and not a single player one and that regardless of it not being malicious it does not negate the fact your wife intentionally wastes other player's time because she has skills she doesn't like using.

It's fine to play how you want to play but own up to it.

I play the game wrong but still clear content efficiently because I told my group up front this is how I play and how I want to play if it becomes a problem I'll either get better, stop or find another group.

You are talking about a singleplayer game with co-op or just a co-op game in general.
Usually done by yourself, with bots, or 2-3 additional players including yourself.

As for your "choice" it was left at the door when you decided to open it, you can still close it though.

This is a MMORPG, the first two letters of the acronym are all you need to understand what you're getting yourself into, massive multiplayer.
The standard is content will be done with multiple players regardless of anything else, there is no excuse.
You could be forgiven if this is the first MMORPG you've played though.

She shouldn't say anything in pug groups, I agree. I was more so referencing that you shouldn't hide behind sophistry because you choose to not be good at something for whatever reason.

So does a mmo means that a player must play by the rules of others around them? I'm just thinking about Ultima online and some other mmorpgs that things like this was not really a big deal.



A mmorpg does not mean force grouping does it? Grouping is a element of the mmorpg. At the end of the day it is still a game, and the game design where I must group at times. Well the content is design that my skill, or how I want to play the game it can still get done. I'm ok with grouping, and the game has rules to protect me from players being mean about how I enjoy the game.

Now, if I was to do lets say super hard content that is not required, and I go in expecting how I enjoy the game to get me through it. Every player should vote kick me, because I don't belong in said content.



How I play still has massive amount of players. I still use them (for profits in trading.) and talk with them. Interact with them in the world and such. Lucky now most group content can be solo as well with Trusts. So the game even caters to my mindset and what I feel a mmorpg is.



I am sure we will not agree, but hey that is ok with me! lol.
