EXP Parties as an option please!

We are in a different generation of players. The era of FFXI has passed.

And what generation would that be? COD? WoW?

FFXIV isn't either of those. No one is asking for FFXI either, only making suggestions of implementations. SE has already made it apparent that they aren't above implementing gameplay elements from other successful games within the MMO genre.

You're comment is absurd. FFXI is being used as a reference. Others posting here have also referenced Lineage II, and Everquest. yet you decided to explicitly write "The era of FFXI has passed."

Seems to me that YOU are the one with a bias here. A bias against FFXI lmao, which is a very successful MMO product by SE.

When SEs next MMO product comes out, will you play that and go on their forums and deny any improvements because you believe it to be "outdated ways of doing things from a bygone era"? I doubt it. Hope off the band wagon man, stretch your legs and walk on your own it feels good.

I'm not against it, just bringing a different perspective to the conversation. Sorry if i seem aggressive, angry, or completely against it, that is not the case. I just foresee more issues than solutions with this. That and the director of the game said they werent going to do it and this horse has already been beaten to death many times over. Good luck in your fight for this system though.

I'm not really fighting for this system. I'm just jumping in to help because I know the gratification that can come from EXP Camping.

The thing I AM fighting against though, is people who have always been on this forum jumping into threads and saying NO to every new implementation request for things that don't even inherently have any bad qualities about them. It's arguing for arguing sake.

It isn't as if the OP is asking for something absurd. That's what I don't understand about the opposition to this. It isn't an absurd request. It's a time tested game element that could be implemented easily with a new flair.

But as usual, some one is going to disagree, it's only natural. Can't have order without chaos.

I stopped reading there because I know the rest is you insulting me at length.

FFXIV is not the entire FFXI fanbase. I've never played WoW.. I've never played CoD. When I made my comment, I had the generation of FFXI players in mind. Not the players now, but the players back then. There is a huge difference. Example, I am not the same person I was 11 years ago. At 22, I had a lot of patience for that stuff. I cannot say I do now at 32. What worked back then, will not work so well now. Different mind sets. The era of FFXI has passed, as I said. This wasn't meant to offend. If you hang on to the past, it will be hard to accept the present, and impossible to move into the future.

I personally didn't benefit from exp parties. I didn't make any friends. All it did was show me how nasty people choose to be on the internet.

For the record: You don't know me. Everything you've said(as I had to read it all anyay) are assumptions. I have no "FFXI bias", and I am not "anti-FFXI". I don't know this bandwagon you speak of. I miss how things used to be more than you can ever bother to know.
