This kind of thing has to stop...

Learn Japanese. Problem solved XD

I instantly /blacklist people who spam /shouts in japanese. Makes Ul'dah chatlog much cleaner and easier to monitor. Not like I'm gonna be playing with them anyway.

Being declined or kicked from parties, not based on our gear, skill or ability to just play the game, but because some people are too lazy to use the auto translate....

JP: JP ONLY
EN: CLASS X Y Z ONLY

I don't like either.

its pretty funny how they do JP only parties for such trivial crap as Natalan EXP parties. I mean, that's not really neccesary. I also don't know why english people use autotranslate anymore, since only english people are using it nowadays anyway.

I suppose auto-translator makes life a bit easier for native speakers of german and french. Me, I just like how clean /shouts look, with those colored brackets and all. Much better than your usual "LF2M DPS BT HM" crap. Blergh.

Until the auto-translate can be used to make it so people can explain something like the Rivenroad (Hard) fight from start to finish and make everyone understand exactly what they need to do, this is going to hold true. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone in the world can speak English.

Oh whatever, this is a Natalan SB party, not some huge endeavor. NO one needs to talk for those. Contrary to popular belief, even JPs can be jerks and idiots.

It's not always about wanting JP players only, like alot of people have said its about being able to discuss in native language. I had a friend on XI who was JP and spoke insanely good English, but whenever I used autotranslate to him by mistake he would flip at me and tell me to repeat what I said again in English because the translation is aweful and most of the time don't even translate correctly.

Although this should really only be for instances or something, people that are doing it just for something like XP is just being a tad selfish. I met afew JPs like this who wanted JP only people for abyssea PTs and they would just camp ontop of people that was already there.

[HiirNoivl]

Having 1 person who doesn't speak JP doesn't inhibit discussion. Usually in SB pickups I'm watching Youtube or listening to music anyway. I'm not there to chat.

My suggestion to the OP, get something to translate Yoroshiku, Arigatoo, Omedetou and Otsukare into JP text and just fake it, unless you can find some sensible people to play with.

Well things sure have changed. I remember the clash of cultures during the NA release of FFXI. New players were chatting and asking questions in local chat only to be chided by the established players. Basically being informed that we shouldn't be clogging up the local chat or shouting out.

JP players usually set a time to end whatever they are about to do, be it party or instance, if they cant stay till that given time they wont join it. There have been many instances where a NA will join a JP shout pt and then leave once they hit 50, or leave if they cant win. Cursing in english and just dropping out. And im thinking in my head.. typical.. no wonder they say JP only.
If it pisses people off so much, make a english only party, i'm sure they wont mind one bit.
