The cycle of disbanding that keep casuals from doing content

[DoctorPepper]

This community is not like the community FFXI had. We were forced to help each other, and forced to be friendly, or we didn't get ANYWHERE.

Sky/Sea/HNM Wars, Beast Master trains to kill people (until patched), parties coming into other parties exp camps and taking over, competing with other LS to claim certain NMs, excluding players who weren't geared enough or didn't have the right subjob from joining content. Yeah, FFXI forced people you be so friendly, how could I forget.

FFXI was no different than this game in that your FC always tends to come first. I try my best to help everybody but if I have to choose between random people I don't know and my FC friends then I am probably going to help my FC.

You still needed rep on your server, or you never would see experience outside of solo'ing content. Most of those MPK'ers, got banned as well. You know this.

Do you have a solution that doesn't involve assuming things of others? That was my point which you read over like I didn't have one at all.

I don't know, you must of been playing a different game than I was because all you needed to join an endgame ls was time, gear, and jobs leveled. Go to their website, submit an application, wait for a tell in game, spend 2-4 weeks as a trial member of the ls getting no loot and as long as you showed up for shit you got rewarded. There were plenty of scum LS who frequently botted, didn't give a shit about rep, and would take anybody that could meet their scheduled time requirements.

I also know plenty of griefers that never got banned, way more people got banned for salvage duping than griefing. I can't even count the number of times my LS was griefed during Sky/Sea/HNM and none of those people ever got banned, 24 hour suspension at best and only if they said they were doing something intentionally in chat.

No, I don't have a solution because I'm not part of the problem, I help people I know all the time and I've never cussed out any newbies. At the end of the day, you can't tell people what to do and how to play, they will do what they want.

You specifically stated FFXI forced people to be friendly, I chose to reply to that because I think it's false. I ignored your point because your post was untrue, insulting to the ffxiv community and also accomplished nothing in my opinion.
