THE 2 major coincidental issues with FFXIV: ARR
#1 The game's faults
#2 This "new-aged" onliners
#1 The Game.... It's clear the game has issues all around: mechanics, basics, content, design, etc.
#2 The "new-agers"... It seems as time goes on the english player base gets more and more cynical, meme oriented, & less helpful. In the old days people were much nicer and willing to explain. Now the first thing is sarcasm, criticism and egocentric thinking. It gives people anxiety when it comes to doing a role that puts you at risk for blame. ie. - tank, healer, or a dps with a given task (ex. stun, etc.)
I've completed Titan HM twice via DF solo queue and both times were JP parties.. no it wasn't 1 shot deals... but even after 2-3 wipes there were no name calling or finger pointing. Ppl apologized for their mistakes and they talked through issues. 2-3 wipes in an english party and its.. "quit sucking, noobs!" "worst party ever!" "don't you know how to dodge?!" Now add in the DF latency issue + 2.5 sec GCD and you've complied the challenge into "stress." I've had an NA tank leave within 20 seconds of puling Garuda.. my only guess is was he felt the dps wasn't going fast enough to his liking? No clue, he pulled.. started tanking then 20sec later left party. I was warned he was a douche-bag from the second I went in with some LS buddies.
