Thank you all for sharing your good experience stories. It makes me really happy to read them all! It strengthens my belief in the other players out there.

That first time in Ifrit (Hard) I took the e-hate hard because my core values are; I give people the benefit of the doubt (i.e. they must be angry for one reason or another) and I like everyone to be in good spirit (i.e. just saying hi and explaining the dungeon and being polite/patient to first timers). This is why I play a healer, because I ENJOY keeping the party alive and making everyone happy.

On a side note I got my Ifrit Cane!! It was via PUG and there were first timers in there. We explained the situation to them and all went well, no one KOed.

Anyhow, it brings me great joy to see that there is HOPE for the FFXIV community.

Keep sharing these awesome stories, to uplift those that have run into bad ones!

"Through patience, cooperation and a good explanation of mechanics" <--- really good sum up!
