Quinn hating on the game.

[Y2K21]

Tbh, it just sounds like he didnt enjoy the game from the get go and wanted to jump in for the hype train. I also dont buy into this thing of "buying a boost" invalidates his opinion either -- since he CLEARLY was at the point of:

A) Quitting the game
or
B) Boosting to squeeze out the content

Im going to sit in the middle and say both Quin and the community is being disingenuous towards this situation. Quin came in with not good intentions to a game he was not going to like -- and didnt like it. FF14 players are instantly writing him off as LazyPeon because he bought a boost -- even if his criticism of ARR matches literally every other criticism of ARR from the community.

Except he didn't even get to the bad parts of ARR. He skipped after doing Sastasha.

He sucked at the game because he skipped the tutorial, and instead of doing homework on how to play the class he bought, he went in blind and so still sucked at the game. It's like someone drove their mom's minivan a couple of times as a teenager, and then got behind the wheel of a Ferrarri, and crashed it within 10 minutes. Then said that the Ferrari was crap.

He's allowed not to like the game! He said he hates reading, and that is why he didn't like the story. A text heavy RPG is obviously not what he needs to be playing then. It's personally never bothered me because I'm a speed reader, but I can get behind that as a valid reason to dislike XIV.

Skipping 70 levels without learning to play your new class and then getting mad when you die? That's what he is getting mocked for.

Which is why I said "He went into a game with not the best intentions to a game he wouldnt like". Thats where the story should begin and end -- hes not a story player at all. Its not a game for him.

People are treating this more than it should be. I agree with his audience clowning him -- but the community doing way too much to talk about it and call him another LazyPeon is getting weird.
