What you say is pretty correct, but only down side is MMo are community based games. If the community sucks it ruins the game. In mmo yes it about fun... but with pother players. Multi player isn't solo. Its playing with or against other players. Like you can't solo (oldy but a goodie) jamse bond 007 golden eyes capture the flag multi player map. It would be pointless. Same with little big planet, its more fun with other players.

It is easy for bad apples tto ruin your fun. They just spread drama and make it hard for you to get anything done. Like I was stalked in ffxi and dealing with high school min/max drama. I couldn't log on for a while cuz when I did I was harassed. My black list was full.

I'm sorry to hear that you had to deal with that sort of thing. :< That really puts a damper on a gaming experience, amongst other things. It rather reminds me of one thing I always tell myself when I play a game: "If it becomes a job to play it, or is otherwise no longer fun, then it is no longer worth my time." Sour experiences with an MMO's community can really ruin a game.

I had actually been in FFXI for a good time up until everyone started to leave. I was still rather new and hadn't made much progress due to limited game time, and there was a two week period where I didn't even log on due to work and family. When I DID log on, everyone was gone. The LS I was in was dead, and the friends I had been really happy to play with, well, I never saw them again. After server hopping and continuing to see my friends quit, I just gave up on the game. :<

i am not sure about your server but "learn2play noob" persona, harassings and dramas is all over on FFXI's endgame LS, everyone and their mom bots and MPKs at any given time, at least on my server.

Only drama I got was back in the LOLDRG days of FFXI, since I listened to a guy who said "DRG would be the perfect job for you instead of WHM!!" and at around level 50 I kept getting party invites, telling me to go to these random far out places and when I get there they'd either yell "LOLDRG GO LVL A REAL JOB!!" and warp out or not be there at all and send that message in a tell.

After about a week of that sorta thing it got to the point where another completely unrelated group would do almost the exact same except they taunted me in the middle of town for about 15 mins at a time then left to party. Eventually I got fed up GM'd all the lil douche biscuits and they all got temp banned but never came back to the game.

Only person to ever score a spot on my blacklist was the guy who thought it'd be hillarious to make fun of my disability and the color of my skin in LS chat or /say every 15 minutes.

Well just to let you know DRG now on FF11 is a freaking godsend . Drakesbane is amazeing and most mobs are weak to pierceing damage. ( lances, polearms , arrows)

But yes in 11 it was allways a Bi**h fest in EGLS where people would do things for themselves and not help the LS. Like people joining geting there AFv2 gear and you never see them again. Or someone loting a silver piece then warping out and droping there LS. Lot of that kind of thing in every MMO. Most people dont wanna work for anything , or be a team player. Most people only do things if in the end thay benifit from it also.

I know i still play XI but I prefer WHM it was my first choice and it is what I like to do, was lvling brd when the servers shut down though.

LOL half of our abyssea LS got all their boss kills, full AF3+2, 90% of their emp weapons completed and all caturae downed them bailed on the LS

pre WoW that might not have happen.

I quit ffxo recently due to money issies and the fact I had to re roll getting any gear for jobs under 50 ia stupidly hard. And ppl too into aby to care to help. Before WoW iyt was never an issue ppl helped. Not complain about being bored then all of a sudden get busy after they are asked to help.

You can't blame it all on WoW, SE has been turning FFXI into a easymode circus ride the past few patches, I have never enjoyed merriting at 75 yet now I am 90 WHm with full merits for all my 75 jobs from boring abyssea where I just haste everyone then browse youtube until they say "popping" on vent.
