More like I see a toxic hive mentality of "our way is the only way". XIV as it is offers little to no customization. Only offers flatline linear gear progression. Clearly evident when every fight is scripted. Devs themselves are so against customization they deliberately decrease LB gauge acquisition if multiple players play the same role/job that is outside standard conditions in preformed parties. And the cross class system in itself is a complete joke.

Pitiful. But I fear the expansion and whatever life XIV has will remain the same with linear progression and it's tomestones and tokens format. Tedious and tiresome. Story's okay though!
