Is anyone else fed up with the single player trend of FF14?

[DynnDiablos]

I prefer to play alone. This game has a great story and wonderful solo activities. The less I have to interact with some of the horrid people that play this game the better. I am fine running dungeons and roulettes, but in the end this is a STORY-DRIVEN MMO and the more solo cutscenes and instances the better. I ran every dungeon in ShB with Trusts and it was wonderful.

I would love to see Trusts expanded beyond the current content so I could do dungeons at my leisure without having to deal with the pull-crazy tanks and rude players I encounter on a daily basis.

My biggest problem with trusts is that it basically seals the dungeon design in stone, so we cannot expect anything from them in the future.

Trusts are great for levelling and learning in a dungeon environment that isn't stressful, allows you to engage with the content at your own pace and get to grips with high level abilities and fight mechanics. Were it not for Trusts I'd be stuck leveling via FATEs and beast tribes which are NOT good for teaching abilities or mechanics. I do not do dungeons with people I don't know because it's an unpleasant, unfriendly environment that is far from stress-free. Thus far I've levelled my RDM, BRD, DRG and DRK to 80 this way. Levelled my SCH and SMN via the MSQ (but I don't play SMN) levelled WHM via the side quests. I'm happy to run content with friends who understand that it takes me a long time to learn fights and co-ordinate skills because I have directional issues. I don't wish to inflict my problems on random strangers, nor do I wish to be abused by them and told to 'git gud' even though I am far from being a lazy player who doesn't care to learn. I love the game and I'd be happy to run with folks if the community was more friendlier and more inclusive. But it isn't. So I need my Trusts

actually would like to see more singleplayer "trends" in FFXIV. allow me to use trusts in deep dungeons.

Nah I'm fine with it. It's only for main story dungeons and honestly the main story is NOT multiplayer friendly anyway. It's written to have a singular WOL protagonist and has lots of dialog heavy cutscenes. Trusts don't bother me at all with dungeons.

If they added trusts to say, raids and non msq trials then that may be a step too far.

Frankly, as much as I love to content with my friends, there are times when I simply wish to 'lone wolf', and the single player duties and instances that have been provided within this game, I have found to be a delightful divergence.

This is not true. All of their posts seem to be a regurgitation of hot topics within the FFXIV community. These threads, and or the threads they keep on digging up, are meant to get the community bickering with each other. Some have seen through the ruse and do not give attention, others continue to give attention, discuss the faux topic as the OP actually intended, or discuss the OP in general - which is also something I think the OP seems to want. I get it, it's a lull between patches, but the best thing to do is not respond at all (don't do what I am doing) - since there doesn't seem to be anything written in the ToS that the OP is actually breaking, unless a moderator steps in and makes an executive decision which is the only thing they could do with the way the forum guidelines are written (at their discretion).

Right, and it is true because it is not those things.

Sure, it's still a troll post, but it is one with a kernel of truth to it as opposed to his normal nonsense.

normally i'd agree, but trusts are my favorite part of shadowbringers
finally being able to group with the friends i've been with in the story for years is so damn fun
