14 is full of people who want to be involved with stuff they don't actually want to do I feel, I think job changes overlap a little bit with that sometimes
Cause I've met people that play jobs just for fantasy reasons and complain that the job sucks the entire time but won't play a job that might have gameplay they like because that's not the point. Two cases I've personally encountered:
I need to be a dark knight! Why is it a tank, this sucks, I just like dark souls and want to have a big sword, why do I have to learn about aggro.
I need to play monk! I like punching things. Why is the rotation so complicated, why do I have to do positionals.
Then non job stuff like playing pvp for gear while insisting it's miserable but refusing to quit, same for the fall guys event. Just "this is awful I hate it" then proceeding to play more because REWARDS, MUST CONSUME REWARDS RAGHH
Watching people unsync grind for a horse mount and then say it's ugly and then continue grinding..
Like I can understand the fun they're having but it feels like a lot of people really don't like the game they're playing, they just like doing stuff with their friends or the rewards that they can get in the game but not the process of getting them
A job is a skin for some players and any difficulty is just getting in the way of their fun pressing buttons and seeing cool effects. A skill floor or ceiling is getting in the way of doing content with their friends. It's getting in the way of getting that glamour I want, or even some content I think is trash but that I'm going to collect because it's there. I must see all content and do all things but never be challenged in doing so.
