Final Fantasy XIV and a Culture of Enabling

[Jadedsins]

Valid points if we are talking level 50 content or below (specially for WHM since they gain a bulk of important skills around that level mark), or if we are talking about not proper ability usage.

Not so much when we are talking level 65 and 75 content respectively and not usage of half of your abilities at all. We are talking about going through 3/4 and 90% of the game without using 50% of your kit.

Players should not have to write formal proposals for assistance over stuff the game has already explained for over 64/74 levels bit by bit so you can get familiar with how each ability works and how to use them.

This is exactly the "enabling" OP was talking about.

but again, you picked to use a tool that makes grouping with players easier. It does not matter what level said person is. If they don't want to use half of the skills they have. They have that right to do it with the settings the game provides, and the developers are ok with that.

You have tools in the game that lets you make your own groups, and set the rules you want and requirements needed for group.



The way I see queue up grouping systems is like a open market and the perks of building groups quickly comes at a heavy price at times. Progression to me is a perk, and I understand some people feel progression is fun and having someone slow it down can ruin his or her fun. It can't be helped and is the nature of mmos.
