Island Sanctuaries demonstrates unhealthy play styles that's alarming!

[Zer0]

So let me be very clear, this post is not a troll nor am I being hyperbolic.

After only less than 72 hours since patch 6.2 came out, I have been now seeing countless videos on YouTube and spoken to a small number of people within my own free company who have rushed to get to level 10 in Island Sanctuaries.

This style of gaming reminds me of the days of World of Warcraft when a small number of people no Life the game to the detriment of either their health or personal responsibilities in the real world. And that should be incredibly alarming to a lot of people if you sincerely care about the FF14 community.

I have come to expect a certain bit of vitriol for voicing my concerns from a small number of individuals merely for stating this unhealthy play style that is concerning to me but I couldn't stay silent.

I have been playing 14 since beta, and one of the facets that drew me into 14 from wow comes from the prevention of this form of playstyle. You have even heard people like Yoshi P state in the live letter this same concern.

But let me be very blunt, play how you want...do what you want as the old adage goes I don't pay your sub. But recognize that you are no lifing content in my opinion to the detriment as I mentioned of your own health and to the broader 14 community. And in addition, there will be no new content other than savage raids until patch 6.25. Once you have blown through this, more likely your Crystal rank in PvP...you will be sitting on nothing to do as many complain about because you don't know moderation.

But more than likely people won't care what I wrote here and I'll just be a post that will fade into the archives of these forums!

This same thing happened with Classic WoW, the old devs were right. You think you do, but you don't. They wanted the old time content and feel. Then when it came out they rushed to max level to min/max clear content that literally doesn't require a pulse to finish.
