Questions for Experienced Players

[Lorielle]

Thanks for reading my post! I have a couple questions, as I am new to FFXIV and am trying to decide if I will continue to subscribe. Any input would be helpful! Thanks

1 - Is the dislike of new players something that has been around for a while, or is it a new phenomenon?
2 - Was FFXIV always endgame heavy? (Examples: "it's better at 60" or "they made it like at at 60" or "your opinion is invalid until you get to 60")
3 - Are people generally rude in Duty Finder, or is this just the case because of the expansion and everyone rushing to endgame?

1. This varies from person to person. The general consensus is people want to finish things ASAP, so they don't 'like' dealing with the new player in the group.
2. I want to say yes personally. I never really felt the stuff between 1-50(51-60) was super awesome. But after hitting 50/60, you get to do all the super duper cool stuff!
3. Somewhat related to the first question. You'll get nice people too, but essentially it's because of answer 1.
