Watching them voke after rez sickness and eat another TB warms my heart.

To be fair though, that is 90% of all tanks in the DF in my experience, not just sprouts. lol

Omg this.

Had a tank in toto-rak doing it. Oye.

People coming from WoW especially playing Paladins are so used to dropping consecrate to hold aggro that it really is a different approach lol

Hmm, this is strange to me. Every other MMO I've played is more accessible than XIV. ARR is a really big barrier of entry and it's always a big reason I can't get people to try this game, meanwhile in say, WoW, you can be max level having fun in like 2 days, picking what story you want to experience along the way. Or ESO where you just kinda do whatever.

Different strokes I guess.

FFXIV isn't designed around end game, unlike many of the other MMORPGs (especially WoW). The RPG part also gets more attention here. The end game is still there to enjoy but it's not a focus by design.

That's going to be a big adjustment for anyone used to the "rush to end game" leveling meta.

WoW is going to introduce a patch where they'll basically have to redo some of their best gear from scratch. Imagine having to redo a relic from the start.
At this point I'm pretty sure Blizzard is telling their players to "go away".*

+The recent campain that made more streamers plays the game.

It is equivalent to deciding to raise the item level by like 10 plus and 2 more sockets but in their case the raids are balanced around those changes lol. I would rage.

I'm glad there's a lot of new players. Great time to get into the game and get ready for Endwalker.

Best to treat sprouts with indifference. Most aren't going to make it through the barrier of entry that is ARR and all its baggage, which is mostly the subpar gameplay loop. If they do make it passed that, well maybe you'll get to the non-crap bits.

Makes sense. Right now is one of the best times for a new player; with about 5 months until EW. New players can get prepped, and this is prior to things like Lost Ark, New World, and other game releases this fall. Plus with that heavily memed (advertised) free trial, there's no real reason not to try the game.

Flower here! Im a WoW refugee since about a week ago. I’ve played a bit of FFXIV in the past but never any group stuff or raiding. My hope is to find a home here where I can finally rest my hat and call this home. It’s so great to see ppl being good to each other on a regular basis. One more thing before I go, I absolutely adore this game and the ppl in it!
