Has the WoW crowd taken over now?

[Driavna]

I do see a lot of people say "gg" at the end of content now and I assume that's a WoW person thing because I never saw it much until last year.

People use that as a common courtesy since... forever? Starcraft 1 will be my first memory of it I think. I also can't remember players saying GG as a common occurrence during my years playing WoW.

Reading this last few pages made me realize some people have unrealistic expectations towards people.

Like mind reading, people pleasing, having one assimilated mindset and no variety of ways of thinking and acting... yeah...

These people I will not name. Are you not ashamed on what you are doing right now? Literally giving a crap for people for saying GG instead of TYFP... you cant force people to thank you for running a game content... this is not the BORG... holy macaroni...

You make it seem like "old FF" players are all bullies. What a lovely picture it is.

[Fawkes]

Folks have been saying gg for years before the WoW exodus though. I don't think there's *any* relation at all.

In FFXIV it has always been far more common to use auto-translate. Not out of politeness for people who speak other languages or anything, it's because it's about as fast and convenient as typing gg, since you just type the first couple letters and then hit tab.

I would say it's more that lots of people have started playing this game and the gamer community is pretty used to using GG after matches.

I wouldn't specifically relate it to WoW since it neither originated nor popularized there. I.E. I don't think this is a "because wow players" thing.

I suppose. I'm only attributing it to WoW because that's what everyone has been attributing FFXIV's rise in popularity in the past several months to. Blizzard bad, Asmongold good, etc.

Doing dungeons in WoW feels exactly like doing Trust here, no one ever says anything so you are pretty much playing with "bots".

As other people have said, it's common courtesy nowadays when you finish a match, etc.

I dont call something a GG where I have to put super human effort to keep the rest of the party alive over the course of the whole Dungeon/Raid/Alliance raid.

Idk that sounds pretty GG to me if I saw you do that.

Odd. Outside of maybe Timewalking or daily speedruns, most of my dungeon runs in WoW are waaay more talkative than in XIV. Leveling dungeons, especially. Discussion of latest buffs/nerfs, new content, getting suggestions on particular tricks, builds, or what class to level next, or even totally random questions.

Unlike in XIV, you can also easily see who you recently ran with and invite them cross-server without any world-transfer-queue hoops (they just, in 0.5 to 3 seconds, merge over to your world). I miss that.

Sorry, but the "dungeon experience" a had was not really different between WoW retail and FF14. The only real difference between players and trusts in FF14 is: trust do not use AoE, players do.

But this happens when a game introduces automated group matching inclusive a teleport to the content.

trust do not use AoE, players do.

Well people here type "o/" and "gg" if you know what I mean. That's more than what I got in WoW over the years.

But it was just a joke anyway. People barely chat here either, I agree. Almost no one says "hello" back in Expert Roulette for example.

Take your head out of your arse please, I just stated that > I < not remembering it being a thing, and that I never seen it on the servers I played on. And it became a thing recently for me. and GG literally means GOOD GAME, Yeah, sorry, I dont call something a GG where I have to put super human effort to keep the rest of the party alive over the course of the whole Dungeon/Raid/Alliance raid.

Buddy if you feel you need to put in super human effort to keep the party up in a dungeon I would recommend you stop healing and play a different role, GG.
