I'm a new player. Not new to FF or MMOs, but to FF XIV. I started playing the free trial a few months ago to test out the game, and got myself a sub a few weeks ago.

I've played a lot of different MMOs, and I have to say that the community in this game so far is outstanding. So helpful and welcome to newcomers. And forgiving!

An example: Today I ran a dungeon for the first time (part of MSQ). I also ran a dungeon as RDM for the first time so everything was new. As soon as we started I told them I did this for the MSQ and it was first time in this dungeon.

So because of this I did mistakes. I died twice, the healer had to heal me other times and my DPS output would not have been ideal, even though I did my best. I apologised first time I died, and only got a "No prob "

And when the dungeon was over, all three of the other party members gave me recs! As a newbie, failing support DPS! I was astounded. Not only did I not get any crap from any of them, they all recced me. (I gave my rec to the awesome healer who was always there to help me out).

This is not the first time something like that has happened. I've run dungeons where either the dungeon or my class was new, I told people, and all I got was support - and recs.

No question in this thread, just... a positive rant. You guys are great.
