No socializing with friend at all?

No figuring out who among your number needs help?

No desire to actually meet new people?

You seem to base your game purely on your own and your static's progress. I can't fathom why you would play any multiplayer game that way.

What is all his friends are in his static and they only log in for raid days?

What if his small group of friends don't need help?

Why would anyone want to invest in meeting random people on the internet when there is a big world full of interesting people to meet in real life?

Warylx's situation is completely common to any decent raid group. Game play for him is literally 2-3 hours a week. Is the rest of the game supposed to be charity work for the unskilled masses? I have better things to do with my time than to hop into random PF groups to help people win their pixels. The rest of the game should not be some IRC chat with monsters to kill.

thanks you Licus for explaining it for me , u hit the nail on the head.

yes i help friends and LSmates , if they need help ! , thats why i leveled a PLD and SCH in the 1 place to help fill slots for dungeons and whatnot :P

thanks for judging me guess that was expected , but when i dont play FFXIV , i play other mmorpg (yes u can play more than 1) played FFXI for years , Daoc/swg/eq before that.

or if im not in the mod of mmorpgs , play a game while talking with friends over skype/ts (playing might and magic legacy <3 good memorys!)

If you are playing a MMO to meet new people or socialise with friends on stale content, I think you should get up from your chair and get out of the house more. Or just move on to another MMO with the friends in your static.

Many people don't log on to see scenery in-game. They log on for challenges in current and subsequent added content, or experience new encounters with friends/static. When there is none, it is hard to find a reason to log on. This game is still young in MMO standards, so there are certainly a substantial amount of people, myself included who are still subbed due to be being fortunate enough to find a great static group to do coil/hang out with, waiting to see what's next. With everyone is 50 now unlike launch period, plus already having a static group/bunch of friends to Immediately Start raid/engage new content with, After 2.2, and they still take their time releasing content like now, they will certainly bleed subs, like in Swtor.

Then you will start seeing people complaining about dead servers and asking for consolidation/free transfers. Your current perception of whether the game is still going strong or rapidly "going downhill" is based a lot on the server you play on. http://xivsoul.com/ if by any means is a good estimate, clearly shows quite a few servers lacking in population compared to the top half.

Also, I hope you are not going to further suggest that people stand in Ul'Dah with their allagan weapon "socialising".

Yes because that's the way the game is designed, which you can tell by what is being released as content updates. New primals/coil/CT raid to progress together as a GROUP in a multiplayer environment. If you consider camping together with friends or trying to meet new people during the The "events" FATEs like brick/shannon/lighting as socialising, then perhaps back to the 1st line in my post.

Snip

Man... if Cactuar feels as empty as it does and it's one of the most filled servers, I'd hate to be in one the lower populated servers :T

I wonder why people picked Gilgamesh so much?

Congratulations! You're in the very small minority that can steamroll the currently available content. Most people cannot.

I still have tons of content available to me, I'm still not looking forward to it, the game has alot of flaws.

I was one of the ones who took a few months to beat the story, read every quest dialogue, however bad they got, I'm still not enjoying the game. Did crafting and gathering, enjoyed time with friends and helped others

It's not just the hardcore elites
I stay in contact with the friends I made but that's the extent

Well... You're obviously just not enjoying the game.

I mean, I understand your reasons, they are perfectly valid, but they are not worth a 26 page thread in general discussion. Not because you don't have the right to complain (of course you do), but because it's not really achieving anything. If the game's gonna go through changes it's gonna be because the devs deemed it so, not because of this thread. The devs want feedback, but at one point it stops being feedback and it start to be just ranting, and this thread passed that point long ago.

Finally someone reasonable who doesn't have to resort to name calling and berating others

I know this thread won't magically change the game, but it does let the gamers and possibly even devs show what is flawed with the game, and what players find to be flawed and how we could work towards changing it.

As an aside, where do you believe this thread should have been put?
