Reverse WoW exodus

Camping nms back in the day might have been "boring" and not fun but at least the community and making new friends and talking to people is what made things fun and made the wait more tolerable then it would be if we had a similar system in ff14 where no one really seems to want to talk unless your in a discord call or server because no one wants to use in game chat in games anymore.

Well I can't speak for your experience but that hasn't been my experience with the game at any point. I can arrive at any populated area right now and start chatting with people and making friends. It's not difficult.

From my 11 years of playing ff14 no one seems to want to talk or be social unless it's the rp community or it at least seems to have been that way when discord became the norm to talk. Before discord became a thing people would always talk in game and have random conversations which don't seem to happen anymore unless I'm just unlucky.

nah i had a lot of talking earlier but then suddenly square adjusted the tos so that you can report everybody who is hurt your feefees with a simple hay whats up...After this many people told me in private they will never write in the in game chat again. I cant say if it speaks for everybody but i does for me since i got in GM jail for explaining how a tank swap works

I use to have a lot on ingame interactions then in stormblood it seemed to have started dying down but just assumed it was either tos changes so people only talked in discord or various other reasons.

yeah i mean its just a guess. i think everyone have their reasons not to talk ingame but its a bit sad that really noone is writing anything. Rarely some explain a boss or something but i can understand everyone who just follow the wise advice of never write in the chat if you want to keep your account. This is on SE for the tos and peeps in the community who "abuse" it

Have you tried initiating those conversations yourself? Next time you're in a dungeon or a city just start chatting with people about whatever. I would be incredibly surprised if literally everyone ignores you. Again I can only speak for my own experience and my own server but I've never had any problem with that. Just yesterday I was chatting with my dungeon roulette group about earthquakes after one happened where I live during the run, and afterward some random lala came up and waved to me and a friend in Limsa and we talked for a bit.

I'm really not seeing this socially dead game people try to paint FFXIV as. If you want to see a truly socially dead game go check out WoW. Their megaserver nonsense annihilated the community. You'd have an easier time folding yourself into a diamond than getting anyone to talk in that game. lol

This is code for "I want to be a toxic jerk but the ToS won't let me."
