How is this NOT harrasment/griefing?

[Kensaki]

So he killing all the mobs. But the boss mobs and just sitting around waiting for us to kill them ruining 3 people's experience and fun to get himself an achievement is all ok? Are you even listening to yourselves?

And move camp? So we're supposed to run all over the world and hope the theres not a 50 there ruining the event?

"Act only according to maxims that you yourself would deem universally accepted."

You are saying...

People ought to move in order to accommodate your desires...
therefore...
I ought to move to accommodate the desires of others...

Your maxim is self-defeating, therefore, ought not be done.

Now put on your big boy pants and quit the QQ.

i think you need to understand what the words harrassment and griefing are

Basicaly, if he is doing it only to spite other players, and to mess with them, and take away from their experienbce, then yeah, hes griefing and something should be done

BUT, if hes doing it because its an achievemnt, if hes getting something out of it, or for any reason other then to purely mess with you, then no, hes not greiding you hes playing the game like anyone else

if your not willing to make concessions for him, he shouldnt have to make them for you either, you both have the right to be there

Actually, I agree with you.

Yeah this person has a right to this event but that doesn't make his actions morally correct. The lvl 50 should have to move camp or should talk to the other people doing the event.

Tbh, I've noticed that people in this game aren't very friendly. A few times I've asked questions and people have outright ignored me. They got very offended when I pointed out that there is no reason for them to ignore my questions.

And joining a group? Forget it. All I ever get is go level jobs x, y, and z to get specific abilities before you could join a group. So I have to level three jobs to lvl 50 before I could do, non-endgame group work? Really?

The way this game is right now, it's not very friendly to new players period. It's actually less friendly than FFXI.

This, For as much flack as the XIV community loves to give XI and people who play/played XI..XIV is a hell of a lot less welcoming and inviting for new people to play than XI ever was. At least in XI they had low level content that was separate from content an end-game player, who typically only care for themselves, would want to partake in.

This is why as excited as I am for 2.0, I know it's goin to fall flat and why XI's new expansion announcement will actually be the reason XI will succeed in 2013, while 2.0 will fall flat. Even in later years SE added a newbie tutorial to XI that's very thorough in what's it out to do.

Biggest problem with the XIV community. For example, back in 2010/early 2011, Ifrit fight for example was "STACK LANCERS!", then out of the blue, they turned it to "STACK THM/BLMS!" which slowly started to seep into every other bit of content imaginable, like Caravans people did it with varied setups, now you only see THM/BLMs on it because god forbid you feed a chocobo a gyshal green..THE HORROR RECOVERING THEIR HP!

The reason 2.0 will fail is not because of mechanics, but the community because no matter how much work SE does for this game, the community trivializes everything and makes it unwelcoming for new players or players who just simply want to be the job they want or specialize with it. Yes you can level and use any class/job you want but some people may only want to be a MNK their entire career for example.

Seriously? LOL Okay.

Just to sum it up

Most people on this game are sheep, will always be sheep and will never try anything new or slightly challenging because hey look I can get this done easier if I just nuke x or stack y.

Sadly its a reflection of the instant gratification societal values we now adhere to.

God forbid I want to take my time in a fight relish in the difficulty and even die with a smile on my face because I had fun, NOOOOOOOOO I must kill now I only have 10 minutes left to live.

Dont really know where im going with this lets just say fun takes time and time is all I hear anyone go on about these days.

This is one of the many reasons I was royally pissed to hear that they was bringing Achievements to FFXIV. I was so happy that XIV was an MMO that didn't have it because there was so many times in other games that one or two people would ruin an event because they didn't get their achievement or something along those lines. They hurt the community more than they help it but that is a tactics the game companies use to lure those type of people into buying their games. There are many gamers out there these days that don't care anything about anyone else they just care about getting some stupid digital achievement, they don't care if they have to walk over other people or ruin other peoples enjoyment just as long as they get their stupid achievement.

You're assuming every player is an achievement whore. I don't really plan on getting that achievement myself, and if I were, I wouldn't be ruining the exp for everyone else in the process.

I used behests for leveling whenever I was out there doing leves anyway. It's like a free leve every half an hour without having to port back to town and pick it up. There's no reason not to do them when they pop up.
