Boosting is the new Voldemort in the FFXIV community. Like any good controversy both sides have merit and both sides have unrealistic boogeymen. Let’s discuss this… scary pandora’s box of doom.

I mean if you don't want people to boost, one thing you can do is STOP telling people ARR is bad and they have to suffer through it, you just told them that 50 levels aren't worth doing, but let people have the fun they want
Cant wait for FFXIV "purists" to say "BuT yOsHi P SaID MmOs ArE NOt JuST a GAmE, ITs A CultuRE" I'm pretty sure he said something along those lines; regardless, ppl need to stop being asshat and let ppl enjoy it how the want
Pineapple on pizza? To think I respected you. ;P
I know a lot of people who tell themselves "I'll just do new game+ later" but no one I know has ever followed through yet. I feel like someone who's inclined to skip the story is (most likely) never gonna actually do NG+. I like the idea of new game+ but I also think the majority of story skippers will never actually go back and play through the story.
Yeah, I agree completely. While I’d never boost, I don’t have particularly strong opinions on people boosting. Different people have different tastes after all. That said, if someone boosts and then complains about the story, I’m probably not gonna take that seriously
I’d like to point out that you can boost the story without boosting your class/job. That means you can still level up your job avoiding story and learning through doing lower level dungeons etc. so there are options of avoiding story (my opinion is you are missing out but it’s your choice) and still learning how to play your job 🤷♀️.
I boosted lol. I levelled dragoon and GNB to 80. RDM to 61 and SAM to 72. What I boosted was WHM, SCH, SMN, PLD, DRK, WAR, NIN, DNC, MCH, BRD, MNK, AST. I have no regrets, and will probably boost BLM, I will also boost Reaper and Sage if they are too low for my liking. I started since feb 2020.
Nothing wrong with boosting. Take a couple of hours to get your rotation down, queue up some trials and dungeons and test it out until you get comfortable. FF14 players have to understand that a lot of WoW refugees are very experienced MMORPG players and can get down classes fast, on top of which they are coming from a game with a story that janky and you are basically not a part of, so you genreally ignore it. Instead of FF14 players getting mad, why not just be understanding and let live.
@Cole How do you know these people boosted though? They could just be shit players.
I don't have issue with people boosting. But if they shit talk about stuff that they didn't experience due to boosting, then you know, I will call that bullshit out.
As much as I agree that it should not be controversial, I think a debate like this typically assumes the law of averages, which is fair.
So to use your burger analogy, it's equivalent to just eating the bun and rate the burger as much as anybody who eats the whole burger, which can happen, but it's probably reasonable to say that it won't happen for an average Joe. That's the average VS outlier, where outliers exist, but people tend to assume that it doesn't happen (mostly).
Then, it develops into a bigger argument/controversy when you just eat the bun and don't rate the burger as much as somebody who ate it whole, because it becomes uncertain as to whether or not just eating the bun caused it. In the end the whole subject of eating just the bun ends up becoming controversial, but it isn't without a good reason.
LETTUCE SEPARATIST—
For me personally, I don't see the point of the game if you're gonna skip the story or aren't interested in the story, so if those things don't interest someone I wouldn't recommend 14 to them; but I'm not a raider, I usually only do story fights that one time unless it comes up in roulettes or a friend needs help. If someone does find enjoyment out of just that aspect of the game (ex/savage/ultimates) and theyre content with that, thats great. My soul will be sad, because what's the point of the fight without the story context; but that isn't their problem lol
All that being said, I wouldn't ever attack someone for boosting. Some people need to take a chill pill and lie down lol
I did Boost… my retainer! OMG, NOOOOOO, the horror! The scandal!
have you seen Naguura being fucking awful at the game? thats why boosts are bad. you and many others are looking at this at a surface level and completely missing the point
Boost is okey i think
Only controversial if you have a strong opinion of the game without having experience the story because that's a big part of the game
I think the general take for boosts in games is that you should have a reason for doing it. The reason it has become such a boogieman recently is the massive influx of people from WoW. The reasons you would have for buying a boost in WoW are not always the same reasons you would buy a boost in FFXIV, and sadly there's no way of knowing before you buy the boost if it applies to you.
I'm cool with boosting as long as the person who does it takes a half hour to actually learn their job to at least a mediocre level.
I have no problem with it initially, but then when Holminster Switch takes 45 minutes because our freshly boosted Black Mage has no idea what a rotation is, it ends up becoming my problem, and tilts the ever loving fuck out of me lol.
Missing the story is a shame because it truly is incredible imo, but if skipping it is really what someone wants to spend their money on then whatever I guess. As long as those same people aren't the ones who complain that the story's bad lmao.
Boosting adds an extra layer of difficulty. You have to learn your kit and all of the game mechanics at once. It's not impossible, but it takes time and patience. There will be growing pains.
Its mmorpgs… rpg is roleplay. To play a role you need a background/stories. I get your idea about the possibility to do what you want, but the limit must be at the point when this people start give their opinions like it is something normal or logic. IT IS NOT LOGIC TO PLAY STORY BASED GAME AND SKIPE STORY. But yes you do what you want, just don't ask people to understand or give credit to an opinion who is based on 0 logic. I love reading and i love swimming. Car i read a book in the water ? yes off course i can. Will it be the best way to do it ? no it is not. Is it logic ? No it is not. In this case Cole we don't talk about a choise between different tastes of pizza, we talk about a case where you bye a pizza, then you put this pizza to the trush and start eat burger for exemple. I mean you can eat whatever you want, but why the hell order pizza in first place ?
i ended up boosting b/c the person i started playing with had already played through most of the story pre-ShB. i missed raiding in other MMOs, and being told "yea the story is trash until xyz point" does not sell the story to someone who is used to only caring about endgame content. i enjoyed ShB & i have tried to find ways to read about the lore outside of the game to better understand it but my best bet has been the wiki. ultimately don't regret boosting, just wish i didn't have to awkwardly dodge certain conversations to avoid starting chaos.
Hey, I've watched the weskeralber video, I'm good
Cant heal through stupid
I skipped half way through heavensward I just wasn’t invested in the story that much anyways play how u want
If this is your first MMO I’d recommend not boosting but if like myself you have played every MMO created in the past 20 years then swipe that card if you’re so inclined. I did and I’m still better mechanically than 90% of the people who will say “don’t boost you won’t understand mechanics!”. The game is easy unless you’re doing the hardest content. And you can catch up on story by watching some YouTube videos.
The reason i have boosted and will boost if i want to maqin a different class in an expansion is simply due to the fact that I hate leveling, always have always will, I love raiding in games, i have progged through E12 Phase 1 and currently working on Phase 2 with a random group, as someone who grinds out shit at max level like a mad man(got the ilvl 535 relic weapon on MCH in one weekend of grinding, fuck it was boring at some points). I feel as if you learn your class and make an effort to learn the content you boosted for you can sometimes be better than a casual raider. All in all it comes down to what you value more, your time or money seeing as I would rather spend the $25 dollars to save myself like 30ish hours of leveling, where you can do 2 hours of work to get the same results.
Can you please react to 👉the lady of heaven trailer?❤️😊
I boosted samurai simply
Because I really wanted to try it, and I didn’t want to squander the remaining stories exp honestly I wish I could boost my paladin to lvl 90 on endwalker dropped because it’s a starter class that I ended up not wanting like when I first got the collectors edition of arr. I don’t enjoy paladin and would rather just have it maxed for the armoury which is how it is right now lol
