Not much else I could have done. The linkshells I was in had people who had already gotten out and didn't want to go back.



I'm not blaming others, I'm using what others say the game was to refute my experience. Isnt that the same as the "gcbtw" meme people use for XIV?
Yeah that sounds about right, but if that was the truth in peak XI why didn't it immediately die? I started playing a couple of years after the game launched and made it just fine as a RDM, before level sync was implemented even (which granted, was necessary probably to people having a harder time like you seem to have had) But my joining late didn't stop me from having a blast.

And the GCBTW is a meme and so theres hint of truth to it, but you know well an MMO has a ton of different people and just like most of XIV isn't a GCBTW member generally XI wasn't without it's huge amount of helpful people either. You are always bound to run into some bad apples and then people stereotype the heck out of the game.
