    Standard xenophobic response.

    I fully understand the hypocrisy of what I'm about to say but Japanese players have been extremely unfriendly towards English speakers in my experience. In FFXI I can't count on both hands the number of times I was looking for a party and saw <Looking for members><Japanese><German><French><Okay><English><No Thanks>. Yet not once did I see the reverse. Perhaps it was simply because the game was released years earlier in Japan but somehow I doubt this is the sole contributing factor.

    Of the 5-10 times I did manage to somehow find myself in an all <Japanese> party in FFXI 70-95% of the time I could have sworn I was being laughed at. Lengthy discussions without using any auto translate would be followed by <insert my name here> and lots of W's. Is that not equivalent to saying, lmao what a fuking noob!? Look at this horrible English player, lmfao 笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑笑?


    Give me a break. Assholes belong to every language and dialect. Don't insult the entire English speaking population by insinuating that we are somehow inferior to Japanese speakers. Way to alienate over a billion people with one comment.

For the record though, I haven't run into any texts like the one you posted so far. The Japanese on my server (Ultima at this point in time) don't seem to mind playing with Western players. Only been playing FFXIV since August, so I can't speak 100% on the topic though, just giving my experience so far.
