i just hate this "im a veteran player"... sorry but being a veteran in ffxiv isnt amazing , its just very easy, nothing in the game actually is hard... its pretty much a lolpost imo. i think as long as the game is easy as it is and you cant do much but spamming a monster to death by perhaps added use of brainless BR spams. We should be happy for new players and don't crap on them with our elitism. Rather help them or sometimes perhaps learn from them.

And since the game might be changed in some or many cases quite a lot, perhaps some aspects are gonna change completely, nobody will be the veteran after these changes anyways.

Thinking back to ffxi i sometimes had the best (fastest, most fun, very effective) parties with a "weird" setup. Many so called veterans would rather laugh about it but THEY failed in the end...

Everyone who wants to shine out others shoudl do so in RL since in an mmo it has nothing to do with being good, its just a time issue 99% of the time and in ffxiv its 100% so far.

there will be enough occasions for the e-peen contest soon enough.
