How Can We Make the NA Community Better?

[Ninster]

The best we can do, OP, is not to spread it. I'm concerned too, and the kind of attitude on the forums I see also concerns me. Personally, I'm all for people learning and improving. But not everyone sees that, so the entire playerbase gets thrown under the bus when the game gets a bit more difficult, as with this last patch.

If it's easy for you, it doesn't mean it's easy for everyone else. If it's more difficult for you, it doesn't mean it needs a nerf. Patience and a good attitude go a long way. I can recognize Final Steps of Faith and Weeping City as a step up in difficulty and still enjoy clearing or helping people clear. Getting this sense of entitlement that these instances do or don't need a nerf because they're too hard or the rest of the players are drunk hippos and need to uninstall is a bad way to look at things. There ARE people that don't want to learn, but I rarely run into them. What I run into MORE, however, are players that are going to throwing in the towel while people are still adjusting and picking things up because they assume everyone sucks.

Please guys, a little patience with the right people will go a long way to helping.

They do bring up a good point though. Players are very angsty, and on edge if late. These are symptoms, and there has to be causes to these effects.

Casually entering Valkurm Dunes, you look to the horizon and see a player running towards you. You think nothing of it for a moment and then you see the huge train of enemies and you look back to that poor soul and weep.

tried turning it off and turn it back on???

I have noticed a certain rise in negative behavior, which is strange, because I thought I'd rarely ever see it in our game.

I.e.
Selling housing plots, abusing the amazon promotion, insulting one another, early pulling, being rude in dungeons, not being a proper mentor (basically just doing it for the crown), and other negative impacting behavior.

How can we improve our community? I'm starting to feel embarrassed. Am I the only one?

Crossed out the early pulling part because there is no such thing. Everything else you mentioned I can agree on.

Unless XIV turns into a totalitarian regime, there's nothing that can be done.
