Disturbing FC Behavior

[Raven2014]

Ever heard about the phrase "keeping a respectful distance"?

I've been playing the game for nearly 10 years now, and I have made 0 in game friend, and have been just staying in my own solo FC. I do have people I keep in contact, talk to, play with via Linkshell or Discord, some would go back as far as 5 to 8 years. Ironically, from what I've seen, my interaction with these "non-friends" people most of the time are a lot of amicable then the people who calling each others friends and/or in the same FC. I believe the reason we are able to maintain such long and healthy relationship is because ... we never tried to befriend one another, neither we pretend we are friends.


I think in the social media era had set a certain expectation about relationship that - as someone who grew up before social media is a thing - think it's not realistic. Circle and Niche have existed long before social media or MMO, but regardless of the setting, it often take a long time and lots of effort to get into one or build one - organically. These days though, I find a lot of people just ... don't have the patient for that, and believe in this facade that we can always make friends! So they either trying to hard to be part of something else, or misjudge the actual distance of the relationship. That can lead to bringing up premature topics, having weird expectations ...etc... Often what people call drama, I think it's just the facade crumbled.

At least, that's what my observation tell me from my own experience. Before coming FF14, I played WoW for about 3-4 years during which I was in a 3 different guilds, from large to small, as well as the first 2 years of FF14 I also joint other various FC before becoming a solo FC player. And you know ... after 8 years I felt this is the most healthy way to maintain an MMO relationships.

Why should this old man leave when he's having so much fun? After all he's not the one complaining. Plus he also often get to watch free drama show from the young people. The internet is a great place for him all thing considered.

And the person you're responding to CREATES drama from NOTHING! Sit back and watch the fireworks.

Signed, a fellow old man.

I'm getting bored now so my next reply was going to be me pretending I read what you said and just posted a gif of fireworks and saying told you so. Just saving myself the time for the very obvious end result.

Like you say, I've been around a LOT longer so you're quite predictable.
