Instanced Content is it killing gaming?

so you're going to blame the mechanics for player behavior?

DoL, DoM, DoH all maxed? Maybe it's time to try a new game called "go outside the basement" instead of "I have nothing left to do in a game that I dropped hundreds/thousands of hours in over the past 4 years so I'll just go whine about that even though the game is adding new content every 3 months"?

but there is repercussions it just comes down to the player. get kicked for being new to a dungeon? report them they WILL be banned be it 1 day or 3 or a week. there is repercussions to doing things that are abusive to systems.

now when it comes to unstanced content they can be much harsher to players then instanced content and the df. why? because if you play bad once it goes around and players will know not to play with you and you won't be able to do content because you have a bad rep.

see what i did? it all comes down to the players not the systems, if you run into some that won't play with someone who is new you will have a bad time.

It doesn't matter if you report them or not your night is ruined ether way.
No believe me I have played in non instanced worlds you gotta play crappier than just 1 time to be ostracized. I was a pretty bad tank at one time long ago but I learned eventually and the community can be pretty helpful.

You may be right maybe the majority of players have just become jerks and its not the mechanics at all. Thanks for the logical and civil debate you prove there are still civil folks out their that actually posses intellect and calm debating demeanor. Ty sir/maam

Honestly i havent heard one case of someone being suspended for being a d-bag in game. You can have a farm bot running 24/7 spamming "im a bot" and you probably wouldnt get suspended.

Imo, too much emphasis is being placed on instance content; but personally, I believe that a lack of variety and creativity is hurting XIV. The game itself feels Limited/restricted to me (Not sure if it is rmt or "balance" related).

I do agree with the OP though.
