The only reason I still play is the guy I married in the game... prior to meeting him I was just enjoying the story. Once there was nothing left for me except strictly end game the community started bringing me down with all the negative behavior. I'm on T11 right now and consider myself a fairly good player but I just can't be around certain kinds of people without feeling like crap. But my hubbies been helping me network to meet good mannered people who can still do end-game content so slowly but surely working through the community until I find people I can feel good being around.

Also I found out that Monk is fun as heck. So that is helping my enjoyment as long as I can stay away from certain kinds of people. Stopped using poetics on healer going for monk :3 E'lusana the Fists of Fury!

But I kinda need the immersion this game provides me to escape from reality and the guy I married keeps me immersed in that game despite the negative experiences I've had. When I log on FFXIV, I am E'lusana Celah, when I log off... who am I again? >_>

Yeah this can be perceived as sad and pathetic but oh well. My life is what I want it to be with all of my choices. I still work and pay my own bills and once I'm done suffering through that, Eorzia here I come!
