New player(s) thoughts

These people may fool new players, but they don't fool us - This wasn't always about MSQ, and we NEVER called it an 'RPGMMO', that's a new term you all made up and new players ran with after Shadowbringers, and I'm pretty sure it was Jesse Cox that flipped it. I don't condone it's use.

This is a new conspiracy theory about Jesse Cox that made me spew my coffee out. No sorry Jesse Cox didn't cook this whole thing up. MMORPG's have been around since it's conception in 1996. One of the first of this genre, was a game called "Meridian 59".

Some examples of an MMORPG are: Anarchy Online, Black Desert Online, EverQuest, Final Fantasy XIV, Guild Wars, Rift, Runescape, Ultima Online, and World of Warcraft etc...

MMO can be anything from a Battle Royale action title, FPS, a real-time strategy game, or even a new type of interactive experience that defies genres.

And who is this " THESE PEOPLE and WE and US? Your opinion is your opinion and people have different opinions on what they find enjoyable in FFxiv.

It doesn't bother me in the least that people skip story or not, as long as they can play their job. That to me is what ARR is mostly there for. To teach the new player. Though I don't like the fetch quest reaching into the later expansions, but that's just me, and I agree to it being filler. I think maybe what the devs are trying to do is put you into the next area of a certain zone for story progression. I think there is a better way of doing that part of it too.

Overall people have their favorite msq expansions and their least favorites. Then some could care less about the msq all together, that just how it is and will be. Yes one day XIV will die down, but I don't think we fully know what the root cause will be just yet. Only guesses of what it could be.

What? No - Do you live under a rock? That's not what I was saying, maybe you misunderstand this whole thing, and hopefully you've ignored it all the past 2 years. I'd be happy that you did, because it's exhausting. lol

'RPGMMO' vs 'MMORPG' - It's the new fad to call FFXIV an 'RPGMMO' and ignore the MMO portion while strictly focusing on the MSQ. "No content? You did MSQ right? Yoshi said you can unsub and come back later." He's made videos and tweeted about this, it's sparked the whole thing.

I almost find it insulting that you actually thought I didn't know what an 'MMORPG' was while saying I've been subbed to one for 11 years. To the point where you tried to educate me, mostly just hilarious though. lol

Ah I see. Yes I was a bit confused. Never heard of RPGMMO. Is it like saying it's an RPG first before an MMO? That is very confusing in fact. Thanks for the clarification. I'll go read up on Twitter now.

Okay phew. Yeah, I'm just saying it's a weird fad to put FFXIV in this new corner of MMO's called 'RPGMMO' - It's weird, and it really just discourages players from even playing the MMO portion of it. Sorry if I sounded rude. You good. lol
