If you're unhappy with this game then unsub... forever.

The people that really fall into a game tend to be those who post on the forums, makes sense…

There has been an insular “hardcore” crowd of MMORPG gamers who use a similar playbook. They tend to write off any and all of lower level content as nothing but “the grind” to get to the “real game” of whatever it is that they get up to. Gatekeeping goes hand-in-hand with the grind. I’ve just been playing a bunch of different MMORPGs since Ultima Online (and count the old 90s Neverwinter Nights as at least a proto-MMORPG) and never once made it to “endgame” in one of them. It seems like that same group has been present in all of them…. and I’m not a fan.

Literally anybody can do any content in FFXIV in crafted gear, what gatekeeping is there exactly ?

If anyone finds the answer to this question, I need to see it. I'd love to gatekeep people from my PF parties.
