Most people are selfish and unhelpful. They will claim that they are helpful and nice, but most of them will just ignore you or treat you like a burden. In my almost 10 years of playing this has never changed for me.

This is true.

This game really advertises the whole "Wow, people are so nice and helpful," idea because you have a lot of people doing really small acts of kindness to sprouts. I don't want to call that nothing but it's really easy to sit there and hand out minions/potions or even gil to sprouts.

Then once you stop being a sprout all of that stops and people only really started being nice again once I became an omin full crown mentor. Then it became "Oh, there's an omni mentor without a FC. Join mine?" or "Can you craft something for me?" or "Hey have you ever tried current ex/sv? We'll pick your job and you can join us."

Or even with stuff like Eureka where I recently got to max level in Pagos. I can't run around in Anemos/Pagos anymore for my weekly challenges without being spammed with party invites. Where was all of that when I was levelling?

People only care when you benefit them :x

That's why I keep my crown turned off.

The scions should finally die, especially Y'shtola. There that is my hot take, i am fine with Urianger being now a bunny on the moon but the rest of the scions...i hate them. Especially exposition Y'shtola who has to fake her death in every expansion.

I don't need them all to die myself, but they need to stop faking us out. Y'shtola has more plot armor than we do at this point, so the next time she seems dead she should stay that way. Loses all impact and meaning otherwise.

Honestly when they mentioned newfound adventures i was really excited, scions disbanded. We get to see new faces, new areas and maybe people we have to learn to know again. But no it is now just meeting the old cast and teaching a half voidsent the meaning of eating and friendship...

Sadly a lot of players would riot if they went more than a couple patches without seeing their waifu/husbando.

I think I said this before but it's even more jarring when you play through the MSQ now and there is no 4 month time gap between 6.0 and 6.1, so you just immediately go from the Scions disbanding to everyone meeting up again and wonder what on earth was even the point of that ending scene.

[TheMightyMollusk]

The "Scions disbanding" thing didn't even make it through the very cutscene that first talked about it (which made it quite clear that they were really just done being at the immediate beck and call of the Eorzean Alliance, they were still gonna be around), and yet people still act surprised that they didn't actually disband. The mind boggles.

That said, while I don't think they need to be killed off, I would love a break from them for a while. I wouldn't object to them becoming brief cameos (hey, we found some arcane thingamajig, let's go ask Y'shtola; okay, that's what it does, see you in a few patches!), but we don't need all of them around at all times anymore. Have some brief scene where they say we can call on them in times of need (justifying using Azem's crystal to summon them for Trusts), then let them go their separate ways.
