Let's Talk: EN players in JP data centre

[Niimura]

Wait, wait.. wait have I entered the scary door again? Have I phased into other reality?

I don't know what kind of experience you've been having but 90% of that video it's the same in Aether and Chaos DCs (the 2 where I most played).

People always wait for hunt trains, in fact Aether even have daily cross-world hunting trains and cross-world linkshells for hunting, where everyone stands at the first zone for like 10-15 minutes before the train starts. I mean... you said you can count on single hand the number of times someone actually waited but then again you said "This was my second and last hunt train" later on, it doesnt look like you had enough experience with hunt trains in NA.

Sometimes there ARE some players who actually dont wait players viewing cutscenes, I agree, but they will always get called on for doing such a thing, and that's because the default for us its to always wait players to finish watching cutscenes, it doesnt matter if you're doing Sastasha or The Tower at Paradigm's Breach, more than 50% of the time someone will use the alliance chat to say that they have players watching cutscenes and then everyone wait for them (in light parties we wait without a word because we need everyone to complete).

You will not be greeted every time you do a duty, if you take that as offensive or rude I am not here to change your view on that. In my personal experience tho, 7 out of 10 times there is always a "hello" and "gg" message at the start and end of a duty. Personally I don't mind if they greet me or not, I've already forgot the name of everyone who greeted and didnt greet me yesterday for instance. Just remember that not everyone plays with PC (keyboard) and there are players of every age and social behaviours in game.

A few exceptions that I agree, alliance B being MT it is not a usual rule, and I believe that in World of Darkness you're having that problem because it is always full of sprouts and players who do not know how to tank properly (especially now with the new wave of players), spinning the boss is not a behaviour we do for fun.

Now to mention the video:

The 3 wipes = vote dismiss, this one will get you looked down because if you vote dismiss because of only 3 wipes you're pretty much losing everyone's time in there, there is no "holding players" in the duty, everyone is there out of their free will and wanting to complete the duty. I can understand party leaders in JP trying to be polite with this but for us this would just look like you're an impatient player or being salty.

I can see why JP do not like /yell and /shout and I find it weird, but I respect nonetheless.

I'm not here picking on you, I'm just in shock that your experience in NA is SO different from the one I have and I'm sure I'm not the only one here.
