Why is the playerbase so mentally fragile now

[Archeron]

If people have the attitude of "You don't pay my sub, You can't tell me how to play my job!" They're entitled to think that, but the second they step into harder content (Savage, EX, ULT.) That attitude needs to go out the window. Especially in learning parties. Though it doesn't happen often I've seen More than a few people who seem to think that other people should carry them, and they should be immune from criticism for their performance which is causing wipes.

People overall just need to accept that criticism and constructive feedback =/= a personal attack.

Anyone who doesnt believe that a huge majority in this game are absurdly fragile is absolutely in denial lol. People freak out and act like the biggest victims in the world over the teeniest tiniest things. They genuinely think XIV is their safe space where nothing can ever go wrong and everything should cater to them because they're unique, precious and special-just shatters their immersion right into tiny pieces immediately the moment anybody does anything that they themselves dont like or wouldnt do.

"I'D never pull that much" fantastic Susie-bob, now press your buttons and kill with us. -too easy, they'd rather sit and type about how their way would have been much better, as if they could pass out behind their monitor and any of us would notice or morn about it. Not even hitting anything, could have died right when they loaded in for all we know. Might as well have-initiate that vote kick. Then someone else will wanna be empathetic- "well maybe they're right" now you have TWO idiots talking when you could finishing your content.

All this talk and worship about how Yoshi values our time, but the players load in and salivate just waiting for the next best opportunity to take center stage and waste as many of our time as possible. Main character syndrome swung into full effect. 'everything is about ME!!!!!'. Even if someone makes a mistake. Sometimes the person wasting everyones time is the person in the fetal position crying because someone messed something up. Don't drag it out or get petty, you turn off your screen and look like a chimpanzee in the reflection. Just correct the direct problem at hand with the crucial information and shut up for the rest. Take the rest to therapy or your mommy.

I don't run into people complaining about wall to wall pulls, or pulling too little very often. 99% of the time the healer will say "Hey, I'm new, please take it easy." The only fragility in a situation like that would be if the tank would wall to wall pull anyway because "They know better." But does this scenario even happen that frequently? I haven't had anyone argue in any DF dungeon in probably 3 months, and I am constantly leveling jobs on both my main and alts. This post seems like an extreme overreaction to an incident in one dungeon.

To start how can you claim most players are fragile when you've not even played with most of the playerbase? Do you have multiple characters on multiple DC/Regions with extensive time put into each one in order to know this? My money says you don't.
You're whining more than they are...I've seen more from you here complaining about this stuff than I've seen people complain about criticism towards them in all my years of playing.

I always love the whole go to therapy bit because you guys aren't saying that due to genuine care for said person. You're saying that to demean them and get them far away from you because you feel something is wrong with em n you want no part of it. "Do what I say then be quiet" only makes you look toxic. You are a shining example of why Yoshi P goes about parsing n such the way he does with this game. And before some goof says it I'm not claiming his methods are good or bad. I just get why he runs the game the way he does in this regard.

I'm very sorry to hear about your memory loss.

Ayyoooooooo

[GaiusDrakon]

And thats not your problem.



Until you have that person actually causing wipes in raids in your group, then you have every right to call them out to do better.

No thanks I'll make it my problem and call them out when I see it

Yes they're nuisances and obviously we all want them to get far away from us LOL

You guys can spend infinite energy coddling someone with clinical social anxiety but I ain't wasting energy or time on that. That's the hard truth lmao no one likes someone who's so mentally fragile they collapse if you say they should've used Cure II instead of Cure III. I'm not a tapdancer and I ain't tiptoeing all over the glass floor.

On one hand we are told the content is so easy it's a snoozefest with no challenge whatsoever.

Then on the other we are told that inept players are a big issue.

If content is still no challenge whatsoever, then who cares? So something takes an extra 5 minutes. If you can't handle that, only go with pre-mades that play to your standards.

90% of runs go fine with pugs. The rest it's not like you will see these people again.

Got a Scholar who couldn't heal a big pull and we all died. I used quick translation and just said "Recitation + Indom"

Lo and behold the scholar just went offline right after 2 seconds

Pulled a boss right as I saw Viewing Cutscene ended and someone freaked out and just stood there and started typing out an essay in alliance chat, saying I'm ruining someone else's experience. Best part is the sprout didn't even say anything.

Obviously this has always existed. But... Why is this more and more common now?

Why does FF14 uniquely attract so many mentally fragile people lol. These people won't ever survive something like WoW or Lost Ark.

You literally had a meltdown on the forum when I corrected something stupid you said.

Cry about it, lol.
