Loyalty

[coffeeking]

Just no loyalty or understanding in this game at all. Ya have one bad week of people not being able to get together because of irl stuff and everyones dropping FC.

well some ppl are working as well, just find a FC that has more dedicated ppl.

A lot of people are really in it for "me" and not for the FC/LS or anything. To them, other players are really nothing more than NPCs for them to use to obtain their own goals.

Try to find a good FC of people who aren't overly obsessed with getting loot or getting everything done "now". As mentioned before, the "speedrun" culture/mentality of this game is a big contributor to this problem as well.

You don't need friends or an FC to accomplish anything. Being greedy / an ass gets you things faster and gives you no real negative feedback.

There are some close knit communities within the game... But as the game doesn't require chemistry or teamwork in any form it isn't exactly the norm.

This game is still too new.

My FC has over 100 people. We lose like 1-2 every few weeks, but have still been steadily gaining more than we lose. I don't expect things to change much until well after 2.1 when people get a feel for what this game is. Right now it's still just a gloried trial, and most people have no idea where things are going.

I've also had some members ask to come back.

People always think the grass is greener. Truth is, shiny coil groups might look good from the outside, but most aren't sustainable in the long run (once people get the gear (or don't get the gear) they want ect.)


I will agree that the way XIV is currently setup hugely favors 8 man play. I'm hoping housing changes that some.

Its modern day ignorance. A RL frind played this game with us, we gave him soooo much help, crafts/armor/dungs.. etc well one day i turned to him and said NO I'M BUSY. He left the FC and LS we had and said fine i'll find a FC that is willing to help.

Moral of the story, put yourself first as 99% of people don't give a damn.

Teon you keep saying the community changed for the worse, and everyone is just being elitist etc, all I see from you is complaining about how the game and the community in it is bad.
I cannot agree with you at all, could it be that it's actually you who changed for the worse with that attitude of yours and you actually avoid people alltogether by putting up said attitude making them not want to play with you?
I might be wrong but you just seem so bitter...
