OP, maybe you ought to follow your own advice because I think you might not be enjoyable to be around during a duty.

I don't have a problem with people who played WoW in the past. I have a problem with people who think they're better than everyone else.

I've always been curious the number of players that played WoW vs players that played FFXI. I feel those are the two main groups, of course some played both (like me) or other MMOs. With FFXIV being the 2nd FF MMO following what i consider a hugely successful game with one of the most loyal fan bases, and then FFXIV taking inspiration from WoW but remaining it's own game regardless, Might these two groups have different visions of how FFXIV will turn out? One side for vertical progression, one for horizontal? I find it a very interesting question concerning two very different types of players that have come together in very promising game, and both sides feel strongly about the future of the game, with opposing opinions and attitudes.

You forgot those who played 1.0 and have a nice tattoo on the neck to show it to everyone ^^

I have a feeling this thread might be referring to people who aren't interested in the story. There have been quite a few accusations against such people as being "WoW" players lately, as if that's even a negative thing to begin with (it's not).

I wouldn't say it is negative, but story is one of the main things in any FF game and to have an MMO finally IMO do it very well, I would hate to see that go away because of a population of the game deemed it more important to clear raid and min/max or whatever "elite" players do, there are many other MMOs that follow this trend.

I don't think anyone is wanting the story to go away. I don't care about the story really, but love other aspects of the game. But is the story or people who like it doing me any harm? No. I'm pretty sure most of the "WoW players" feel the same way.

Actually WoW has a pretty neat lore. It doesn't have the narrative than the FF series, but the background lore is quite interesting. Sadly, you gotta research it on your own. It's not being thrown at your face like here.

When something does interest me with the story in the game, I tend to not get it from cutscenes. I go read wikis. Researching specifics that interest me is what I prefer rather than sitting through cut scenes. The stereotype that WoW has no story and therefore its players must be out to ruin FFXIV's story is pretty insane, though I've seen it said quite a few times lately.

It is suppose to be more of a joke than a insult concerning wow players on their forums. It is also more directed to players who use that mentality as if this is a wow game and bring it to FF14 forums and game. I do admit that the title seems a little bit harsh, but have hoped it to be taken a different way. I do not regret hurting anyone's feelings if they are insulted. Recently the game has become more popular with world of Warcraft failing to appease their loyal fans in WOD and they have noticeably moved here; I am no different. I came from wow during 2013 beta for ff14. I have noticed their trade mark personality and thought it would be fun to make a post concerning that populace and how to deal with it using Patrick Star from sponge bob on how to handle such a situation. What is their trade mark you may ask?

"pull or i leave"
" let me loot everything"
"this game its for weebs and the history sucks, let me get that shiny weapon omg omg"

Typical wow players.
