Community in this game is unbelievable.

The only people who had to pay for help usually had bad reputations.

This is completely untrue. I remember plenty of people who charged just to raise players who died in leveling zones like the dunes. There are jerks in every community. Cait Sith was relatively friendly, but there were still plenty of bad apples who wound up on pretty much everyone's b-list once word got out about them.

I can see how the healer was annoyed. Someone who is still their class and not their job usually entails bad use of their skills as well. Like when I encountered a Mrd in Cutter's Cry who was pulling even single target mobs with pure use of Overpower and was not using any def cds. Not to mention they weren't taking advantage of their million possible cross class skills from other classes since ahem * Mrd was their only class that was ever touched. I would've seen how he played first before telling him anything.

What you have there is a typical E-Psychopath. Yes, through the marvels of social media the world of psychology is advancing faster than ever before.


Conservative estimates state that 10% of the population are Psychopaths to varying degrees. Some estimate are as high as 35%.
The modern world's real challenge is the rise of psychopathy.

While they are classified as the absolute Apex predator on earth, their advantages disappear once they are even suspected of psychopathic tendencies. They turn into the most predictable people afterwards. Most psychopaths are not aware they are actually psychopaths. They can actually be taught to emphasize and sympathize. Its just a matter of associative corrective behavior exercises and painstaking long talks to enlighten the psychopath and sometimes physically place them in their victim's situation.

That's just the price we pay for a system that allows us to hook up with random strangers we'll probably never see again.
I find them pretty ignorable.

Did we even play the same game? You make it sound as if XI was some Utopia filled with kind people. It was literally the same casual circle jerk and "QQ elitists are mean" community.

I guess you did not play the same i played from 2003-2010.

Even parties are respectful to each other, how often you see /bow in FFXIV? lmao

Please explain to me how after doing something together as a group, how do the parties disband? leave without telling anything?

How about when parties waiting for others members to join? how often do people leave the pt without saying anything?

Players don't even have the courtesy to say, "sry gonna join the other pt, this party is not gathering members fast enough" or even a simple "hey guys sry im dropping pt"


I guess you like that kinda attitude, im sorry i dont, this community is sure as hell not like FFXI... where people drop pt without warning, fight for 5 mins and disband, rage quit like there is no tomorrow.

Those are not rare occasions, sadly those are general way of doing things in FFXIV.

Absolutely NO COMMUNICATION.

There's almost never any time you want to use classes once you can equip your Job as the cross class abilities doesn't outwieght the gains you get from your stone - That includes stoneskin as unless it's from a WHM, it's gimped.

True, it would be gimped, but keep in mind that Stoneskin is a level 34 spell and it's Graniteskin Trait is level 36. So, when doing a Dungeon like Haukke Manor, you synced down to a point where the White Mage can't use Stoneskin, but other classes/jobs can if they "sub" it on the right slot. Yes, the job stone grants certain stat point increases that would make it a preferred choice, even at the lower levels. However, the stat increase at that level will not make that much of a difference and using other damage preventing skills from other classes can still prove to be useful.

I'm not saying it's the best solution, but the OP would've managed fine in Qairn without using the Warrior Stone and using skills from other classes like Gladiator, Conjurer and Pugilist.

I'm sorry, but you are kidding yourself if you think the FFXI community was better than this. In a game that allowed Linkshell leaders to screw their members over, steal banks, copious amounts of account theft, and not to mention griefing by MPK and other means?

As long as you stayed away from HNMs and Dynamis it was better. I played for seven years and never had to deal with the stuff you're talking about, aside from MPK. Which rarely happened to me intentionally. It was usually because someone was making a desperate bid to save their own skin and killed others in the process.

One annoying player =/= bad community.

[L-D-Omlette]

I find it interesting that nobody has commented on the fact that if /tell was allowed in dungeons you would have never seen this and the SCH would have likely been way more vitriolic. The MRD would have left and you would have no idea why.
