    The person who introduced me to FFXIV, their first piece of advice to me was "never sign up to Novice Network".

    To be honest never needed it, never missed it.

    While not what I'd consider bad advice, I'd rather players make that decision on their own. Some people really enjoy the social aspect of NN, and it provides them a home away from home until they find an FC. Not to mention NN can actually help players find a social FC.

    Is it as good as a custom-fit FC? Not always, but this varies by server.

    Is a cherry-picked video of the worst of NN indicative of NN as a whole? Not really, but that also depends on your server. Once again, players are expecting the mentor system to do more than it's intended to do, and that's not the system's fault.
