For casual stuff. I have learned to use jobs that can carry any casual situation and become good enough at them to do so. I therefore turn on my music and move along with my duty regardless of whether anyone is real or not. Other players may as well be bots and contribute or not. In doesn’t matter.

If it’s a war I just solo the whole thing if they end up in the floor. If it’s a healer I will raise them a million times to use them as a meat shield and use my one damage spell and dot to take the boss down even if it takes hours. Thankfully with the new mits and abilities even a healer can take a tank buster in a dungeon if the rest of the party refuses to do anything.

Players have become irrelevant. This is not what I wanted out of an MMO but this is what I’ve got. And I’ll use what I got to finish what I set out to do.
