So I played FF14 for about a month or so back when HW was not a thing yet.
I quit then came back recently...
The first thing I hear from my friends are... ( I was a gladiator at that time)

1- Poor you
2- Pally meme
3- Wat
4- An hour long explanation / brag / rant about how Warrior is superior to Pld in everyway

Those reactions are not too uncommon it seems...
Why?
