Never do BA again on NA servers

[Avenheit]

Yeah, I just did a BA run as a pugger, then got ridiculed because a premade was in the instance as well. They didn't let me join any parties, and some players I considered a friend have now blacklisted me.

I no longer feel welcome inside Hydatos, just because I wanted to content available to everyone.

If you're wondering, Yes. I made it through Ozma by myself.

Yes, i did get to the portal first.

I got to the point where I broke into tears because I somehow convinced myself that I am a garbage person for wanting to do public content. And then continued to hate myself because I cried over people I've never met/over a simple video game

Just remember it's a THEM thing not a YOU thing The current toxic sludge you're dealing with are generally here from other MMO communities and don't have the FF XIV Community mindset that bring you in from the leveling dungeons The helpful polite players that genuinely want to see other people succeed and maybe surpass themselves is tossed to the wayside by those who think they're WINNING a game.

Bear in mind that alot of the problem stems from those people moving in from other MMOs While the one that wont be named that was beyond a disappointment caused yet another loss of subs those subs moved here and before you knew it we had 14 million people subbed (I've played both this was the better investment.) Thats alot of people with vastly different mindsets from what we got used to over the years.

Now I'm rambling I guess what I'm saying is never give up theres kind players out there.

I do agree with you, I started playing back in private beta of ARR and I've had a wonderful time inside FF14 until today. Once I move passed this, I'll get right back into it. I love the game, I enjoy it so much and I was never a MMO player originally.

Given some time, I'll be right back into doing content square has offered EVERYONE to play

Just having to read the massive number of frustration posts like yours and from several other players is saddening in itself. It also amplifies the raw dichotomy between the mindset of the FFXI and FFXIV communities in certain regions.

Sincerely glad you were able to be firmly resilient and got through to achieve the clear. Well done.

It's comments like this that seriously helped me move on from this experience Thank you.

You're very welcome.

Some people are... disappointingly... stagnant with their evolution and therefore resort to the displacement of grievances on others because they are actually petty. As I mentioned above, just keep being firmly resilient, keep being happy as you play and be sure to pay that happiness forward to someone.
