The general player base needs to improve

I dont think BLM was neutered.... In fact I absolutely love BLM as it is now... Have you not seen the double to triple flares? The job is so so satisfying to play now.

Anyway back to discussion... lets look at this from a different angle. We have a lot of casual players and I would bet some of the casual players that started playing after Stormblood hit the server have yet to hit level 70.

With that said FFXIV still uses old base MMO style game play and the players who only own a console will be thrown into an environment that is very different then most console style games, especially current gen games. So be patient with the players you run with and teach them what you know. Some players might have learning disabilities or handicaps that may prevent them from learning content quickly or respond to mechanics quickly and they may need to run it 20+ time to overcome whatever issue they may have.

Veteran players always be kind as everyone has there own issues and making an effort to help others just might add another descent player in the long run. Encourage players to fight through their fears, disabilities or whatever it may be that holds them back. Yelling or rage quitting only proves nothing and doesn't solve the problem. Fighting with each other has never solved a problem... brain storming with one another to figuring out a solution to a problem is the only way to solve a problem.

Here is a way to approach a problem:

"Hey NAME HERE thanks for joining the party, awesome glamor btw, I noticed you were having issues with x-mechanic and x-phase change, what issues are you having? I will be happy to answer any question you may have. Help us help you " Different approach for different folks can be the difference from a party falling apart or finally clearing the content.

Happy Questing
