Lets talk about the FFXIV player base..

-sigh- Tbch this all funnels back to SE. They’ve made it into law by protecting players that play subpar and well below that with their rules. That works for JP just fine since you know, they care about wasting another player’s time and how they themselves perform. For NA, it only protects the players that make the experience pretty crappy for the people that actually care.

It isn't really SE's fault that we are this way tho... Until western players on the whole start caring about how they affect others and start taking pride in their performance, pugging is gonna be nightmarish on our servers. I'll just hang out with my static and avoid people at large until the day that individualism stops spoiling things...
