Endgame Progression, Elitism and You

Endgame Progression, Gear and You

Yesterday, someone asked in my linkshell if anyone wanted to do Garuda Hard Mode. My response was, "sounds good, how are you geared?" When they said full AF, I advised them to start running Wanderer's Palace and Ifrit as they were not even remotely geared for the fight.

I got the response that "I didn't come online for a lecture" and he was insulted that I wouldn't even try due to this person's present gear set up.

So why is this attitude prevalent in the game's early stages, why are people overshooting what they can do, and what exactly should people be doing once they ding that magical level 50?

(Yep, this is going to be a muiltipost, buckle up.)

This post, or series of posts depending on limitations, is going to explain my opinion on this mentality and the one true endgame progression guide, or at least how I perceive SE intending it to be.

You were wrong.....it's as simple as that.

A FC member came on and asked if anyone wanted to try the content with him.....that doesn't mean beating the content.

I feel sorry for you XyleHarkyn if you're not interested in doing content with FC members simply for the sake of doing content regardless if you can beat it or not. The entire point of playing an mmo is to be part of an online community that does things together....if that's not what your doing then why play MMO's at all?

No, you sir are the one who is very wrong.

NO ONE LIKES TO LOSE!

I don't know why you mouth breathers have such a hard time wrapping your heads around this. You're probably that one kid who sat out in gym class because you fail at anything even remotely competitive. If you and your FC feel like getting smashed in content you're clearly not ready for then fine but don't queue in duty finder until you meet the requirements for completion.

I'll hit 50 this weekend and was wondering what comes next, so good post OP, thank you.
