In your case you mean? Or in case of "why should I bother" crowd?

Other people don't base their decisions on what they see you doing. I'd imagine most people in DF DR don't even notice whether or not you've used an essence.

The people on the forums just thoroughly enjoy being angry, but they don't represent the majority of the community. Most people in DR likely can't even be bothered to make a mental note of who's using what.

Maybe they want to buy their first house? Why should they spend their gil for your benefit when they are fine at the pace they are going? How's about you send them the gil since you want to tell them where to spend their money?

I'm giving suggestions lmfao and honestly faster runs means more time to make money since less time spent in DR too but go off
It wouldn't be just my benefit then, it would be their own benefit and the benefit of 22 other people too.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't expect anyone to click on every person to see if they used buffs or not, I am not that dense.
I just don't see a reason why one wouldn't want to save THEIR OWN time by just having an essence up especially since you need to farm so much for this relic. It's literally a free damage.

the sheer entitlement of certain people about imposing their playstyle - or lack thereof - onto others and being proud of it is astounding
"babyrage" and whatnot, like, aren't YOU the one whining for several posts now because people call you what you are; lazy and selfish and unwilling to even put in a modicum of the teeny tiniest bit of effort that is pressing a button to get activate the essence?
quoting myself here, but;

I've spent about 7ish minutes outside the first bozja gate and got around 50 fragments of skill that gave me enough aetherweavers and martialists to do another relic to my current one, with another 7 minutes just outside the 2nd gate I could get enough awakening fragments to get enough skirmishers, ordaineds, irregulars and profanes that are equally useful

heck, it takes even less than 5 (five/fünf/cinco/cinq/cinque) minutes if you can play the class you're using somewhat well, which I don't! and I still got tonnes of essences from about 12 (t w e l v e) minutes of """"work"""" that will last me for a long time
you're just f-ing lazy and want to be pat on the back of it, don't deny it

Hmmm...

A house, which is at best a place to get a few easy mats for low gil and repair gear and so you can roleplay that you have a house... versus making the experience better for 20+ players a run in an online game... Which is the most incredibly egotistical decision?

I have not given this game the time of day since arr was new. what are essences and why are they required? I'm trying to move away from wow and wow classic here but would hate to know they have the equivalent of world quests for rep/power/required consumables here as well.

If you just join a duty and play as you like, you're not "imposing" a thing. On the other hand saying to people they must use an essence IS imposing. I myself have not been whining because anyone has called me lazy, selfish or unwilling. Call me whatever you want, doesn't matter to me I will still play the same. As I have said before you will get no apology from me

I could not care less about a pat on the back from you or any other random in this thread. Don't attribute where you get your self worth from to me or others. Good for you you went and farmed, aren't you such an angel! Here have your pat on the back.

During my cluster farm I ended up with a couple hundred fragments of different varieties, the vast majority of which were actions and not essences. And even then, plenty are for tanks and I don't tend to tank that often for casual content. So yes, you're babyraging at others for not doing what you want. I am just pointing out you are basically screaming into the void for all the good it will do you. Nobody is changing for you.

They're optional consumables in optional content.

SE, can we get a datacenter in NA that has a barrier for entry? I don't want to be on Aether anymore.

Can't speak for Primal but Crystal is even worse.

You'd have to play on JP Datacenters, and avoid Elemental specifically, to have a better experience. And even then it's not fool-proof, just that they're raised in a culture of respecting other people's time so there are far less openly entitled players there in my exp.

Yeah you go to Aether to get away from Crystal. That's its own beast though.
