Common Courtesy with End-game Raids/Dungeons

[Jynx]

Here's the irony here. Everyone wants to win, ya? Then why would you willingly participate in a party without being as prepared as possible? You don't show up to a job interview without first knowing everything about the job, and being prepared for the questions that could potentially be thrown at you.

Looks like I need to home in on the key point here.....

Not yet...

Getting closer...

You don't show up to a job.

Were playing a game right not a...

job

This is a game, not a job. Some people would rather experience it fresh.

Farming, gathering, and crafting feels like a job. Making gil feels like blue collar work since you got out into the hot summer fields or the cold winter snow and hit X, X , X , X , X , X , X /repeat. Training newbies over and over again feels jobish as well. I guess you gotta do some work even if it's a video game to have some fun?

If your not enjoying the "Work" your putting into the game then your "Enjoying" it wrong.

Don't like training new players? Play with experienced played.
Don't like farming materials (I find it rather satisfying to farm and craft my own items, "Fun" even) Don't do it, people buy things for a reason, because they don't want to make it themselves.

You can "Make gil" doing the things you find "Fun" Dungeons, Fates, Leves. Any content that doesn't generate or have a way to generate gil often pays out in dividens that makes you not need to spend gil to keep playing (Myth tomes and Allagan gear drops). You could call playing any part of the game "Work" if you wanted to break it down to hillariously nonsensicle simple tasks as you did.

"Guess I gotta "Work" if I want to beat Titan EX, I press my combo rotation and make sure I don't stand in them red cirlces or get pushed off the cliff, when I'm done I punch my timecard and call it a day and go have some fun by going to work in real life!"

Yeah all those gil buyers probably feel this way so they use real money to buy fake money instead. RMT is big business. So many players enjoying this game wrong. I guess you can find ways around the not enjoying part such as sniping in progress dungeon to reduce the repetitiveness of farming
