Why do people avoid getting better at the game?

[Atelier-Bagur]

Then why is it that in FFXIV you can be max level and have literally no idea what you are doing? This game requires only very very little of the player to progress through the story which is the only true required content of the game since so much is locked behind doing it.


You don't necessarily get better playing a game the longer you play it. You can not improve or even regress in some cases. 14 shows perfectly how you can complete an entire campaign comprised of the base game + 4 expansions of story and still fail basic tutorials on gameplay.

Every msq dungeon and trial teaches the player of mechanics that they'll encounter in the optional content, where they amp up some of them while still sprinkling new things. But the job of knowing the familiarity of the mechanics is all the game should push you into understanding how harder content works. I dont believe you that you encounter players so bad that they constantly make mistakes. Ive been playing this game for quite a while and its very rare for me to encounter atrocious level of gameplay from your average casual.
