FOMO in FFXIV: How pervasive is it?

[Ransu]

I don't mean to offend you, but given the contradictory nature of your previous posts about FOMO - I'm not very interested in your opinion. No offense, and let's end our conversation here.

Or, you could stop getting bent out of shape over digital items. There's no such thing as FOMO, no matter how much people want to pretend something so ridiculous is real.

"There's no such thing as (a) fear (of missing out)."

I mean, you could say there's no rational basis for said fear. But objectively, it exists. And different designs tend to provoke it more than others.

As the second post already mentioned, though, XIV's design does not particularly provoke a fear of missing out beyond the ability to find decent parties for initial clears of Savage, since they rapidly fork into only either trap parties or farm/speedbarse parties. Though, admittedly, that can be pretty significant.

Dear Ransu! In my previous message, I asked you not to continue the discussion you initiated about whether FOMO exists or not. I politely requested this and pre-apologized if my words might come off as offensive. However, you've chosen to further cultivate this discussion.

Learn to respect others' opinions and their perception of reality. I hope wherever you were raised, they taught you the concept of respect? Or at least the basic idea of respecting other people and their viewpoints? Cease imposing your views and dictating to me or anyone else what's real and what's not.

Wishing you the finest and most splendid day

No thanks.

No thanks.

Oh, wow, I'm sorry, I initially mistook you for someone who understands human courtesy in conversation. Then let me try to put it in language that might be more familiar to you: For future reference - don't tell me what to do, and I won't suggest the direction you should go.

Have a good day, sweetie, I hope not to see you in this thread anymore
