New Player Experience is bad.

Until it's as bad as XI's it will always be better. XI's new player experience is nonexistent.

I expected this to be about how absolutely boring the gameplay experience is from 1-50 as jobs are pretty boring till 60+ and complaining about the community wasn't even on my radar for new players. I generally thought the community was very accommodating to new players...

It is significantly better than it was in the 75 era, but that isn't saying much when you pretty much need a guide to know about all the things you need to know to advance the story and actually play the game...

I started playing not too long ago after having been a MMO veteran for years and have always loved FF games. What from what I was able to experience the story telling is captivating and it's a great game overall as per usual. The reason I am no longer going to be playing is because of the community itself and not the game for once. This place is kinda disgusting... splinter d/cords, predators, abusers, un-hinged schizo's who never log off, and the clear lack of self-policing going on in the community. It looks a whole hell of a lot like league of legends from the outside.... Good luck and stay safe everyone.

Im sorry you had a bad experience. I too was a new player not 2 summers ago. I too have a lifetime of MMO games behind me. Im sorry you have had such a bad experience. Your experiences sounds uniquely bad. Two years later and I still dont have a single person black listed. Maybe try another data center.
