Has the WoW crowd taken over now?

[AriesDaBeeh]

Going through PF the last couple days, I see lots of “advertising” like:

“4k dps = instakick”
“no clowns please”
“2 fails = kick”
“know what to do there will be no talk or stay out”
“I’m doing this for 2 days please no more failures”

Generally stuff I would typically expect to see in WoW, also noticed a harshening of tone in duties like alliance raids.

It’s sad that the same thing has arrived here now.

Yea, feels like half of xiv players never even played wow just throwing around spooky ghost stories shared around other xiv players who also never played wow.
WoW people don't talk like that, the lot of them at least. Heck, I've never even see that kind of talk here either where are you playing? lol.

What that sounds like are people who are tilted with the flawed way PF is in this game and how is cultivates its own toxicity, don't blame other games.

The only common internet slang I see occasionally that's distinctly from WoW is when people say 'kek'.

Ah yes, so now that GG has been debunked as a WoW only term, 'kek' is the new indicator-how long is WoW going to be this ridiculous boogeyman that people here continuously throw red harrings about around..."Well THIS means someone came from WoW!!" "No, THIS!!" "WoW players are everywhere!!! This is their fault-I know they're here!!! I KNOW YOU'RE HERE WOW PLAYERS" Are they in the room with you right now? Can you hear their voices? What are the WoW players in Party Finder telling you?

Did you know WoW players actually love silly cat videos on youtube? So anyone who likes cats, you've got them. "LOL, LUL, LMAO" those are terms they've used too. If they at some point liked Invader Zim?? gottem. Rawr?? xD??? Were they alive in the 90s? 00s? Did they watch Rockos Modern Life or Ren and Stimpy? If they have a gaming pc?? There's 3 WoW players reading this right now, I can hear them officer I swear they made me do it-

to much drama

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.

That's interesting, I've experienced the opposite. I hardly see folks using auto translate unless it's people joking in NN using it. Perhaps difference in the world/data center you're in? Not sure. But seeing auto translate being used more often than 'gg'? Not that I've personally seen. 'GG' is something I see in almost all parties I'm in.

can't believe that max caulfield from the hit game life is strange is a WoW gamer, I thought she was nice but knowing that she played that game really makes me dislike the character!!!!

A party/group finder is never going to be perfect. You list a group within a set of parameters and then have to go through members to try and make a workable groups. While this gets better over the course of a tier and expansion, it's rough in the beginning as every gets up to speed with class changes etc and getting in the motions.

The party finder is good overall but you have to accept that a system that's being used to form groups of higher level content, without committing to a static/raid team, will lead to situations in which groups will fail due to personality clashes or some players just not being good enough. A group being listed isn't an entitlement to join and if you're the leader, isn't an entitlement that people will join. I don't particularly see an issue in listing clear, concise requirements to join even if you need a 3rd party tool such as a parser to determine these.

It's not "WoW mentality" or whatever you want to call it. I've used the group finder a lot in WoW back when I used to play that game to mostly great success. This was for both Heroic raids and Mythic+ dungeons, the majority of players weren't a problem and troublemakers were rare (and easy to ignore/blacklist anyway). A clown, leader or otherwise, is easy to spot and you soon move them on to never play or interact with them ever again.
