    I was simply replying to the question I was asked. Those are how I feel solo'ers can effect mmo. That don't mean I hate them I also wrote that while 1/2 asleep. Most of my comment in this thread was made while I was 1/2 a sleep. But... I try my best to type w/o offending people. Sometimes they just get offended even by minor stuff.

    As i stated before, soloers decided to join mmorpg which are community games. It should be a well known opinion that you are apart of said community and there may be a few "expectations" depending on which mmo you play. There are infact different mmo styles. Group based mmo who's MAIN FOCUS is group content ffxi, ffxiv, and older mmo fall under these. And there are solo based mmo, where a player can solo most of the content. these games are WoW and most games made after WoW. And finally there is the social mmo these games are more about chating and mini games. Games like second life fall under this catagory.

    The soloist as OP decide what mmo to play. If they play a group based one, they truely have no right to change it to cater to them. Pick an mmo that caters to your enjoyment, not demand it to cater to your needs.

    I've read every reply. 3 times over. Thedevisjester has asked for or highly suggested in more content that is scaled to be good for solo'ers (and groupist or so he claim) But He /she has yet to consider the ramifications of scaling down content can do. If content can be solo'ed, then this wouldn't be a group based mmo. But a solo based mmo. So ya he is infact asking for a change.

    Really? Are you sure you read them? I didn't suggest, ever, that SE scale more content, or change any content at all. Please stop trying to push this point you just pulled out of thin air.

    It should npt be hard to find people to party with.
    And thats a soloers fault is it? If you cannot find a tank because a lot of people are playing a caster, is that the casters fault?

    As you said, if you join a group MMO you should expect to group. If you join a solo MMO you should expect to solo. By that very logic, if you join a hybrid MMO which FFXIV most definitly is (a large part of their advertising campaign included touting their solo content, and a large portion of the content is soloable) then you should expect to have a good mixture of soloers and groupers. If you cannot handle that, then by your own logic, shouldnt you be playing a pure group based game like FFXI? I do not think you should have to, all are welcome in FFXIV!

    And I can't enjoy the game the way I wish. And be force to play by myself.
    So instead, soloists should cater to you, and be forced to play in a group, and not play the way they wish? Is that a bit arrogant?

    What is your definition of negatively? Would calling large groups of people anti-social and claim they are a bane on MMORPG's and that they should find another game fall under the "effecting people negatively" umbrella? (Not that this is you personally, just a collection of thoughts from this topic).

    My deffinition is I enjoy playing mmo in groups, and try to find people i can group with. If i find that most people I ask pulls the "no i solo" card (mostly due to groups are filled up at this point and only soloers are free) Then it is disheartening. And I can't enjoy the game the way I wish. And be force to play by myself. This happen to be in WoW. I didn't realise it was a solo mmo till I played it. I then quit it because I got bored being by myself. That is why I played ffxi and now ffxiv. because they are group based mmo and grouping is expected by the community. Find an mmo who community caters to your enjoyment, not battle the community to cater to your style. (not saying your doing this)

    THIS IS WAY OFF TOPIC, and i apologies but this has been nagging me after seeing your posts here and remembering your posts in a thread about cross server instances. if your going to bash WoW for being solo focused and tell people to search for games that cater to them i just cant grasp why you were so adamant on implementing cross server grouping straight from WoW. AGAIN THIS IS WAY OF TOPIC AND I APOLOGIES! i just had to ask this ><

    Edit: i just have this one question and then ill drop it and get back on topic.
    Because though i disliked WoW and at times claim to hate it. I never hated the game it just was not my type of game. And cross server grouping (which will only be for dungeons) helps with the issues of not finding a party. It didn't make WoW more solo-able. >.> And the reason it was added was because of the soloers not joining parties.

    Also how many times do I need to say "i do not mind solo'ers" till someone reads it lol. I just think op said theior topic rudely and are being rude to anyone who shares their side of the story. I infact never seen anyone hate solo'ers. Unless..... they are trying to group and only find solo'ers.
    I'm all for options and different playstyle. Just not ones that effect the community.
    When you play mmo it isn't "your game" it is THE GAME you are playing with over 1K players. If ppl hate solo'ers it is their decision to do so. If you think it is rude, then that is your issue. I find it rude that you would refuse to party if asked. And see it as pestering and that is my issue.

    There will always be 2 sides of the story, with the truth mixed in the middle. I also find it funny everyone seems to be all for " let ppl play how they like" but when a melee rdm comes along, they are the bane of the game. Just wanted to point that out
