Kaeden you know what your saying isn't true. I'm a long time ffxi player also. AA let me melee as a rdm while focusing on my casting. AA let me be a dncer while focusing on curing ppl or doing my other abilities.

The only thing that made players bad players, was the tolerance of it. PPl tolerated bad players for sake of getting levels. Or no one taught ppl. Or ppl told others off for doing their abilities. Cuz it "lowered down time" or "was pointless" I played all my jobs to the fullest no matter if what I did had a point to it. Due to my ADD i can't jusy sit and watch. heck even between pulls I ran around the party. HECK, FUNNEST THING HAPPEN During a leveling party in east ron [s] Dark Ixion showed up inches away from our party. I in a wicked ADD moment disenganged and ran after it as I never saw it in game befor. XD Lucky I knew the ppl who knew I had ADD :P

But ya...... You have options to deal with ppl who become lazy. 1 help them out. 2 kick them. 3 ask them to do more stuff.
