MSQ

[Tommara]

People can help get you through the MSQ as there are many dungeons and trials throughout the MSQ. In fact, it's impossible to go through the MSQ playing solo at the intended level.

Are you saying you do not have or cannot make other friends in the game that have gone through the MSQ while still have other friends that play other games?

No. The duty finder queue is pretty fast, even for dps, if you choose the specific dungeon you need, as opposed to queuing for a roulette. Why bother friends for something that is trivial?

You don't bother friends. You hang out with them, unless you think them only as tools to help you get through non-trivial contents.

Is that your real problem with the MSQ? That your friends don't need your help?

Actually, you're right. There's pretty much nothing I can do to help them, since most of the MSQ is solo.

Everything that can be said has been said, over and over again.

I wish to thank you all for reminding me that the main reason I keep coming back to FF14 (I've left and returned about 4 times now) is it's the best MMO community ever.

Most of you have not made ad hominem attacks in this thread and no one has ever been unkind in game although, of course, some people have made me think unkind thoughts about them.

All of you have set a nice tone, and so while I've gotten burned out and am taking a break from FF14, I don't plan to cancel my subscription. Which I actually planned to do when I first posted.

The civility of most of you has reminded about why I keep coming back to FF14.

It has the nicest MMO community ever.

We all have the same goal! enjoying the game and letting others do the same.

Part of the reason people bring up leaving the game as an alternative is because there are some issues that are moreso personal rather than issues with gameplay (the msq being mandatory is one of said issues) and 9 times out of 10 it's with genuine intent and not out of a malicious need to see "dissenters" out the front door. I know it's that way for me - why pay for a game when the core mechanics of the game lead you to not enjoy the game? I would much rather someone be happy, even if it's not with the same game I enjoy.

But nonetheless I'm glad you found your reason for staying. It's always sad to see someone go.
