What with the short fuses?

[Lamentations]

I think the one word you were looking for is "grind".

People dont have patience because of the fact they have to do this crap over and over and the slightest mistakes most of the time slow this grind even more.

Blame the way the content is, not the players for having to put up with it.

It is not SEs fault that players do not have maturity of character, although I have complained without cease about the "cross-server" DF.

Using grind as an excuse to show what an asshat you are is just that, an excuse.

I also do not believe reporting people is getting anyone anywhere, SE isn't going to burn the overhead to track these people down sufficiently.

It is not the "content", it is the "players", the content just exacerbates the situation.

This is the same flawed ideology that says guns are dangerous simply because they "exist".

Impatience due to boredom and frustration? And like the above poster said, they're in a hurry and don't you be wasting their time! :3

SMN seem to be getting alot of hate lately, was on mine last night helping an FC buddy in Brayflox, got in healer saw was SMN and a bard and said "FFS this will never work with a summoner" they then quit followed by the tank....
Some people have the patience of a two year old in game sometimes. I only get annoyed if the person should know better and just can't be bothered

If they meant: "this sr will never works" and leave, all the better for me. I am PLD, SMN/SCH next and my GF is a SMN, BLM next.

We are completing all dungeons, getting our SOL cap weekly.. getting all the chest, for those who dont have DL gear, getting some gils, some says clearing it completely gives some 0.000000000000000001% chance to get the baby opo-opo..

I don't care. I'm here to enjoy the moment. Speed runners, move fast! out of my way.

And getting seals from DL and then.. getting your peacock/mats.. to up your crafters masters, main hand, or.. to sell on MB.. good way to get extra gil.

I think lots have forgotten the MAIN point of a game: having fun, alone or with friends.

This pretty much sums up exactly what I was about to say. As I like to say, "it's a game, not a job!".

I have plenty of fun partying with all sorts of people, and helping newer players out when I can. The other day I waited like a half hour in a group I joined because they were going to get their lowbie friend up to 16 and through Sats, and that patience payed off. I made some new friends and had a great time! A lot of people, I think, have this mentality that the game is getting tomes and gear, but that's not all the game is. An MMO is the players, and interacting with other players and helping them or facing challenges together is the concept at the heart of every MMO. Far too many people get tunnel vision and get wrapped up in the progression, and I think they lose sight of what really makes an MMO unique from any other kind of game.

This "game", in many ways is more of a chore than anything.

You get a weekly schedule of things to grind that aren't even fun.

If the game feels like a chore to you then why do you play it? I'm not telling you to leave by any means, so don't get me wrong, but personally when I don't like doing something and I'm not getting paid to do it then I find something that I do like to do and I do that instead.

The game itself is more than just the grind though, don't you think? Its true that if this game was only grinding the same dungeons over and over again it would get very tedious (and in fact, sometimes it does), but what makes an MMO more than just the grind is the people. It's who you group with, and how you play with them that makes this more than just a grindfest. For example, if you're bored with the grind, why not try something silly like fighting Hard or Extreme Modes with snowman heads? Try runs with Titan-Egi tanking or just wander around the areas and be confident that nothing will so much as look at your level 50 the wrong way.

If you've cleared all the content, then help other players get to your level, and so on and so forth. The traditional idea of "Endgame" isn't the only way to enjoy having a high level character.

Only because you chose to make it so.

Never work? Why would they say that? Because it's not fast enough? That healer must roulette hop a lot..

OP I think this game breeds negativity. You can have the sweetest friend and level with them all the time, but the minute you both hit endgame you enter zombieland. Your friend gets bitten and becomes infected with rage/everything must be done quick virus. While you dodge the infection and proceed to give back to the community.
