In a perfect world FFXI would be an ideal game, but online or not people are just people... only behind a computer.. and people will treat others horribly or not help without benefit. Humanity isn't perfect, and creating this masochistic co-dependent/dependent relationship with other players is not my idea of fun. How long was anyone's play time in XI? try and think about how much of that time was spent shouting for help, or doing anything other than actually experiencing the content so you could experience the content. Small rewards for so much time.
