While so many are rushing to endgame, how do I find a FC for the slow route?

Sadly so many think that the "game" is what comes at at the end instead of everything that fits in-between the character creation and the end. It is par for the course in MMOPRGs though. Many want to rush to the end as they think that is the "Be all and end all" - assuming they are alts then that's fine. If you have never experienced the whole story then do not rush - enjoy the story and the experience.

A bit of an elitist attitude if you ask me. Some people play this game because they want to run dungeons and raid only. OR they don't care about combat professions and want to focus on crafting.

Yes, believe it or not some do not care about the MSQ and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I get your point of view of how to enjoy the game but it is "A" point of view and not everyone will enjoy the game the same way you do.

While I personally like the MSQ after ARR (ARR's pacing was atrocious to me). FFXIV has a LOT to offer outside of the MSQ that perfectly justifies wanting to get to that content sooner rather then later.

Just because you enjoy the MSQ, doesn't mean everyone does and should.

We should stop talking down to new players that love the game but for different reasons and don't necessarily care about the story.
