How I See FF ARR Community

I wouldn't know, there's not much need to interact with the community.

True, but you can if you try. Sometimes the DF is just too tempting and fast though lol

Which is kind of sad, I've tried to interact with people, but half the time it's rare I even get a "Hello" :/ But apparently that's what people these days like, unsocial mmos where you can pretty much solo the whole game or if you have to have people, never say a word (Sounds kind of like they're more wanting single player rpgs lol)

Sure just like you don't need to have fun, level up, craft or do anything at all.


The game shouldn't have to make you socialize with others

In this game you need to interact with others to do some endgame stuff: Coil/Titan are the only places where co-ordination are really required and Titan doesn't require much.

For levelling, crafting, main storyline, events etc there is little to no interaction required.

Essentially, you just don't need help from others to get these things done. MSL is just a bunch of solo quests interspersed with anonymous DF parties you never meet again for dungeons.

You have to remember that a significant part of the community have come from other MMOs where co-operation and co-ordination is required to level, to pass quests required for additional content or even just to survive (Hi2U Eve online) and the solitude in this game can be a bit jarring.

It should honestly, and if you don't, you're probably playing the wrong genre. Plenty of offline rpgs and Call of duties.

In my opinion, it's the hardcore crowd that are the worst. My worst experience was with a tank who refused to do a WP run with me simply because I was a DRG AND I was under-geared. He said "You might be able to run it in 20 minutes, more likely 30" and left the party instantly. Despite the fact that I was running WP in 20 minutes with full AF/lvl50 gear and am now clocking a consistent 15 minute run with a static which has dropped down to 10 minutes since we added a BLM.

They rely too much on gear and class to measure players. I feel like casuals are more laid back, willing to give people a chance, and willing to admit when they've made a mistake. I've done Chimera, Hydra, Ifrit, and Garuda in one shot with casual groups; and the Chimera battle I did with 3 healers LOL.

Actually I would agree that XIV's community is a fair bit better on average. Not that it doesn't have its problems, but most of the time things are pretty good.

In my opinion, it's the hardcore crowd that are the worst.

I disagree, i've encountered problems at all ends of the spectrum. Just as some hardcore players can be stuck up, so too can casuals be really stubborn- Often refusing to accept help and advice and getting quite rude when they are clearly making a mistake but insist they know what they're doing.

There are great people and bad apples in all sectors of the community. The hardcore players are not disproportionately worse.

Anyone who think's this community is as bad as tera's was obviously not around in tera at the beginning lol. Tera is by far one of THEE worst gaming communities that ever lived ever. Well either that or you were on a carebear.. i mean PVE server. ^_^

This one has it's ups and downs. The funny thing is the most stuff I see people qqing about is the fucking cut scenes and the lag issues in the game (that some don't believe in at all even with the mounds of proof)

All in all not too bad.

One word: Elinware.
That. Is. All.

On topic: I've quite enjoyed my time here and everyone has been nice. In fact the game itself has frustrated me way more than the people have.
