Do people not care enough or does the game do a bad job at teaching?

This will prolly look more like a TFDF post rather than a debate one but will try my best to lead it the other way


For the past few months since i became a mentor i've been doing said roulette, with the number being at 850 at the moment, and with it i've seen pretty much all cases, with the last one happening a moment ago being the one who made me wonder.

This was a SAM, tower of Zot, multiple jobs at 90 already who basically didn't knew anything about their Iajutsu, noticed when pulls were taking longer than normal and only saw 1 of the buffs on their chars and never a Tenka Goken(SAM AOE Iajutsu) and later on a midare

Then i proceed to take like 5 minutes explaining everything to said person, lucky enough the other 2 on the party didn't bother

My first train of thought was, of course, "C'mon man people don't bother to even look a guide", along the multiple Cure 1 healers and other things that should be considered basics at higher dungeon levels

But then after said dungeon i thought as well and as dumb as it sounds, does the SAM quest ever requires you to do said skill even once?

We're talking about in order to clear the whole thing a person could just smash 2 keyslike this one was doing and still make it through

Main questions i want to ask and kinda of a TLDR

-Main one of the post, do you think is a people problem for not caring enough or from the game for not being more exigent on content?

-As a bonus and again maybe will be more of a TFDF thing, tell me if you've encountered a similar experience

I feel the real issue is some people play FFXIV as a game while other take it more seriously. The players who take FFXIV more seriously are annoyed by the lack of effort by the very casual.

Here's the thing, you are never going to change the super casual. They view the MMO in a totally different light than you. By you, I mean the players who want to play their jobs well.

The super casual see FFXIV in the same light as an arcade game. They just go through the game, looking at the content, and pressing buttons. That's how they enjoy the MMO. They don't want to do better because they focus their energies elsewhere.

It's not a "problem." It's just the way things are and it's been going on since the very first games were created. For every chess player attempting to be a grandmaster, there are a hundred who just play chess as a game.
