Why Is Dynamis Dead

[LianaThorne]

I'm on Aether now, and honestly, I'm not feeling this place either. People are really rude. Does anyone have a better suggestion on where to go? I'm just looking for a chill place to play. I went over mainly because of Eureka, but these people are the most anti-social players I have ever seen. All I wanted to do was party up for NMs, and I was asking for 20 minutes. The only reason I didn't start my own is because I didn't know what they were prepping, and I was asking that as well. I just want to actually play with people in my mmo.

Dynamis is the chillest DC in my opinion. I've had chars on every DC and I've never felt more cozy than I do in Dyna. Aether is full of raiders and elitists now, Primal is kind of okay but I've had more bad experiences there than any other. (and their raid scene is apparently dying slowly because everyone just goes to Aether now), Crystal is basically just RP (I had an ex that literally had to go make a boosted char on Crystal to help his friends with raiding because they couldn't ever get a full PF of people in a timely manner).

The thing also with Eureka is that I rarely ever see people partying up unless it's a group that's come from a Discord. I met a really nice group while in the second zone that helped me farm and they were ironically on Dynamis lol. They even offered afterwards to have one of their more experienced group members powerlevel me. If you ever wanted to venture back to Dyna I (and most likely my partner) would be happy to help you out with leveling.

You were in a good place, I'll be honest. It might not be to the standards that people have coming from the DCs that have existed for years now, but I've never met more kind people than those on Dynamis. The people who wanted something different from the norm were the ones that went there (outside of trying to get easy housing of course).

Dyna is in its infancy right now and does not have near the pop the older dc's do. So naturally people are helping each other out and coming together. Only time will tell if it becomes a true Heaven or a Flaming turd.

That's because Aether has the reputation as the raid DC and now its a self fulfilling prophecy. The reason raiders go to Aether is because raiders go to Aether. Same reason roleplayers go to Crystal.

And majority of the ffxiv streamers play on aether so people want to be on the same DC as those streamers as well.

It just seemed like nobody cared so I left. I tried to do stuff with them, but I didn't make it into the clique I guess. I don't know I've been unhappy since I came to Aether. The queues are way better, but the people are the worst. Or at least the ones I have interacted with.

I'm curious what the downside to that would be in their minds.

The downside to be the same thing that happened in WoW. The cross realm ability to que while helps que time, that led to a vast increase in toxicity, a lot of community who at the time before was welcoming to teach and for new players to learn became a burden to them because they could just leave and req faster. Shortly after this Wow sub progression stagnated and declined after. The player base season is one of the worst patches and one of the leading causes to the downfall and the one big difference between vanilla and retail. Despite hearing this he's ignored this and said there's no relation between the two just cuz it doesn't agree with his argument.

To be fair, that's conjecture. This game doesn't have a cross realm queing yet, and it still has the same issues as retail Wow has now. People just prop up their FC as a community when really the majority of players on your given realm couldn't care less about you. I can say hello to a stranger and be absolutely apathetic to their issues. Party chat, shout chat, and yell. It doesn't matter. People are cruel it's in our nature. My idea, which isn't even my idea as stated above by you in Wow, is still a solution to the problem of Dynamis being dead. Again, we agree to disagree, but you can qoute me properly if you want to talk some smack. At least I have the good grace to quote you.

Lol this game has NO WHERE NEAR the issue retail WoW has, as a veteran of WoW for 17 years (05-22)to even try to make the case that two comparable is hilariously one of the most inexperienced comments from someone I think that could exist on the internet

So you said, actually, nothing in this comment. No new ideas. Just the same vitriol you are claiming doesn't exist here. If anything, you're proving my point. I'm not going to argue with you. I can see the pigeon knocking over the chess pieces now.

I really don't understand this obsessive need to prop this game up above Wow. It's literally the same genre that attracts the same players. It is lunacy. And if you're right and it is so different, then let's try my idea and see if FF can weather the storm of it. What do you have to lose? What is so important to protect while my servers shout chat is dead. Filled with nightclub adverts and gil sellers. Omg the horror of it all.

Your idea has been proven a failure in the past....its like Why doesn't America adopt socialism..because history has shown that it fails and leads to negative experiences. I know you struggle to grasp this because you didn't live it just like how there are Americans who for some reason think Cuba is a great successful socialist country with great socialist programs and no idea why their citizens constantly flee to the US yet you are so FIXED on your idea it you can only spout it till it you watch it completely fail and negatively affect the game. Complaining shout chat is dead is pretty weird considering EVEN on Aether (since i started on Jenova) it wasn't super active most of it was in say. Also idk why you are having SOOOO much issue with people on Aether i never had a issue at all when there, not in any content, so far the only common denominator to the problem seems to be you are involved so what do YOU do when this so called all negative behaivor is happening before and after.

You, um, do realize that the biggest socialist program in the world is the US military, right?
