    What previous gaming experience did your friends have and which genres did they prefer?

    That's where some of the problems come in. Some new players have extensive gaming experience when they start this game. Some have none.

    Or it could be your friends just don't like the "JRPG in a MMO" experience regardless of what games they've played in the past.

    Lifelong gamers really, played MMOs like DAOC, Aion, super mario RPG was one of their favorites, sometimes shooters, league, ARK, some FFs, just got done with Elden ring, sometimes strategy games, huge fans of pokemon, zelda. They watch anime. They're not the discriminatory type when it comes to games.

    But you know after they played a good 50 hours or so they just stopped logging on and when I asked they told me it was boring AF. I told them it got really good later and they told me they shouldn't have to put in hundreds of hours to see a good fight. I didn't push them any further they were gone.

    I can probably tell you if the roulettes were min ilvl and maybe we had the original experience of the ARR expert dungeons and Crystal Tower, WoD they wouldve found it fun. But they just ran following the crowds that barely moved and just spammed buttons in the raids and all they did in dungeons was spam their 3 or 4 buttons and nothing was ever dangerous per se.

    Quite honestly as we played the amount of excuses I kept having to make for the game even made me realize wow.... this sucks for new players.

    Make all duty roulettes apply min ilvl would probably be the easiest solution. Running through dungeons which pose no challenge is a sleepfest, I've lost count of how many times I've dozed off mid-dungeon then awake and find myself running into the wall.

    I did, the doctor told me to stop wasting his time and kicked me out after I told him I am The Warrior of Light and have the tendency of running into impassable object.

    In all seriousness, though, I fell asleep while the W key was still being pressed, sometime spamming the AOE even after all the mobs are dead. My party probably thought I was botting lol.
