Get away from our game!

[Reaperking386]

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.

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.

Wow has story, but it is very shallow and players tend to turn away from the lore since they must invest money and time to read the books and reading the wikis. The story for wow has sadly become a shadow of its former self like the game since Wotlk. The story has become a mess with time travel and lack of character development between the heroes and villains with terrible lore choices that the writers have taken, especially with the end of the new raid in patch 6.2. Players from wow may not be interested in the lore and some may be. It depends how they like their story. Dark or light?

I come from WoW, but I also understand the two games are different beasts to contend with, just like when I went to GW2 for a time. I also can't pinpoint WoW players spot on, I usually run into them on accident through chatting in groups. >_>

WoW lore foibles post.

I think Warcraft lore is and isn't shallow at the same time, probably more inconsistent and partially dissatisfying for me if anything. It has nuances, but then they never get touched upon ever again and the things that we're tired of seeing, they start throwing more at us (i.e. Thrall, but they have eased up on him, sort of... but now it's more orc lore). I also agree that the story past WotLK has gone down hill. Cata was a trainwreck outside of Firelands and Pandaria felt contrived in so many ways. The start of WoD was great and the additional lore on draenei is pleasing, but oh god, new Hellfire Citadel and the new story developments there, what even. I am side-eyeing and facepalming so hard at it. And yes, it's a problem when a lot of lore is put in sources outside of game and you get developers saying "we could do story, or you guys can have another raid." I mean, really?

I've been seeing those in games since before WoW.

They're called "children".

What about EvE or aion players?
As far as comments about story yes it's very cute But I have books upon books. I'm plenty pleased on the story side. I like ffxivs accessibility. Nothing in this game has a long lifeline so I can relax and still be moderately up to date.

nothing wrong with wow players...i feel pity for them WoD expansion has been a huge failure (outside raids) and who can blame them for leaving wow and coming to FFXIV that put content faster and imho waayy better , they got twiteer and selfie cam patch lol (while we got ninja job and gold saucer....isnt even fair :P)

If you think about it.

They probably started in FFXI then moved to WoW and then came back to FFXIV, so they are probably final fantasy players.

Unlikely. If they came from anywhere, it was EQ. WoW speak is basically EQ speak so....

I never ever recall EQ terms within FFXI chat logs as far back as NA launch so if EQers were there, they were few and far between.

This game needs everyone it can get, for the record. SE has their expectations, and if the game doesn't meet them...well, they start moving bodies away from it, and more and more years goes by without expansions.

There's no reason to hate WoW players coming over here, in fact I would aplaud them for having a better taste. WoW Developers have long since stopped caring for their game and you can tell that, even the most fervent WoW fanboy can tell that.

If they want to play here I say let them, they'll support the game and can have fun just like the rest of us.
