The faults of just starting

[Leep]

I imagined when I first started this game about a week ago, I would make tons of friends and be invited to tons of parties. Alas, it seems to me that since the game as of a few days ago is not for sale anymore, I'm on the track to a one in a lifetime experience on my own.

On top of that, there are still tons of things I don't know about in the game. I was making a huge deal about seeing these giant airships in the sky, when someone in my vicinity called me a Noob.

Anyone else having/has had this experience?

All the time. Unfortunately this game is very casual oriented meaning almost everything in it is going to be solo (thats just the way MMO's are these days, who wants to play with other ppl?) Although in the end there are getting to be allot more end game things that require you to party up with other ppl although unless you are in a LS its hard to find a group because there is a very strong mentality that is set in the minds of almost every FFXIV player that "If your not in my LS than f**k off." But if your in a LS than people are very helpful and kind to you. My advice would be since you just started to spam leves to lv. your first job than after that you can start dungeons and end game stuff like hamlet, primals etc...

Imho in order to enjoy this game to its fullest you should learn Japanese because the Japanese community is very kind and friendly and informative, unlike everyone else. Thats just me though.

People suck and it's that way in every game you play, don't let the idiots ruin your fun

You're going to have a very hard time finding people to group with. I've been stuck on a few GC and job quests because I cannot find 8 people, or even 2 or 3 people, to help me with these quests.

It sucks, but at least you'll be able to do all the main scenario stuff by yourself.

Just keep your head up and look forward to A Realm Reborn !

Yeah the LS I joined recently is nice, but their busy doing endgame stuff, so I can't blame them if they refuse to help me with anything.

That couldn't be further from the truth. People do stuff in groups all the time, but they mostly do it with linkshell members because people get sick of PUGs sucking.

PUGs? Pugilists?

[Alhanelem]

PUG = Pick Up Group. E.g. random party of random people vs set party of people you know. Context is everything.

[Norack]

PUG = Pick Up Group
PGL = official way to abbreviate Pugilist, unofficial way is PUG

Can always try shouting in town for a new player/social linkshell.

The one I'm in is pretty nice, I could probably toss you a pearl later if we can track each other down. My wife and I just restarted fresh about 2 weeks ago ourselves, so we have tons of stuff to lvl and things to do.
