I wanted to talk about FFXIV/Final Fantasy 14 and my overall experience with raiding. I don’t think I’m going to bother with Savage or Ultimate raids in the future.
The focus on FOMO, the raiding community’s weird fixations with the game, their inability to manage reading above 4.5 inches, and overall attitude of other players make me feel like I’m back playing League of Legends. I stopped playing League of Legends years ago because it’s not a very fun video game. I originally had segments about how the community’s obsession with finding out who is the best is in a PvE video game poisons the well, how the tools used for it are rife with cheating and luck fishing. I also had a segment about how content creators have contributed to the game being this way. But the video was starting to drone on so I cut a lot of bits because it was going to be 30 minutes otherwise.
I’ll make some other videos, I got some ideas. Could talk about raiding discord communities again. You guys know how much I adore them.
Yes, I’m a cat girl now.

I was like: "Who the fuck is this guy and why is he in my feed?" And then I remember I subscribed because of league 'content creators' bashing videos xD
2022 and still malding god speed
I will not get over how borimg and simple they made tanking. I just wanna go back to hw
based
stop copying my content smh
hallo I am here to pump the algorithm
Also it's kinda telling when my highlight for EW raiding so far has been going "yeet" whenever I use Primal Rend.
I honestly still have the bell turned on for you in case you uploaded another video. I always found your videos interesting, thankfully I have friends who are into FFXIV so I can also consume this content gladly, especially after I see them bicker over Raids sometimes.
Bro how come we never play RoR2? I love that game
Man you are not kidding. I'm playing on console and I can't even use ACT. Now this wouldn't be a problem if people didn't constantly ask for FFlogs to join statics. Also, people upload logs without permission. So whenever a 24 man raid comes out, someone will upload my logs there. So i better not die otherwise my low numbers will just be there and i have no way of adding my own logs. Its beyond stupid
I hardcore agree with you about the loot stuff. It's really frustrating. I also feel like since I started making content I also became more aware of optimization/"braindead" jobs and that makes me kinda sad. Why is part of the community shitting on others for picking easier jobs. TF does it matter? To me the beauty of FF was that it was a game where you could just pick any job/race you liked and just enjoy it… But then i found the who feel there is a RIGHT way and a WRONG way to do things and that if you are not striving to do them the "right" way you are somehow wasting other people's time which just seems weird to me. Like, if the fights are fun, and the mechanics are interesting, then why would you want to kill things fast enough to skip mechanics? So yeah your point about "people talk about everything but the content" also has some truth to it. Unless we talk about p3s, people only QQ about that xDD Anywho, the way i see it… if you clear, why does it matter what your parse is?
Trash takes…Not about the raiding and FFLogs, but your like for catgirls. Everything else is valid.
I stopped raiding sometime late SB, I've been at it since the start of ARR. And honestly.. the raiding scene is the same as it was back then. Its just bigger now. So you see even more fits of autism. Like.. NA's weird obsession with not using a chat macro. Or.. people in general not just going for safer strats that guarantee a clear.
And the worst thing is.. I like how the game play currently. Its easy to jump in-between jobs when I'm doing my weekly stuff. But you see these fuckers all obsess over being one trick ponies instead. Nowdays I sometimes shoot up the partyfinder and see if I can help someone with getting their clear. Getting some of your super casual friends to clear an Extreme is much more satisfying. And maybe thats also more of a DataCenter to DataCenter thing.
I disagree with much of this video (especially #1) but I did enjoy the memes, so thank you.
Who and where the fuck are you raiding with? I’ve never had any of these issues lol
I'm kinda new-ish to ffxiv (been raiding since Eden's Verse) and I get super excited each time we get new fights but I fear the day I stop doing so cause man, gotta agree with most of the issues you mentioned. Just finding a group it's a nightmare and I've yet to finish one tier with the same people I started it, and PF can be a nightmare too sometimes, specially for progging the tougher fights…
There are a lot of old content raid to do…you don't have to do the last raid released like some wow andy…

Did you even read the text? lol it clearly says you don't need to have 99th percentile levels of damage, but you still need to be good (meaning you probably won't clear week 1 if you consistently parse gray).
There's a difference between doing an acceptable amount of damage and literally being in the top 1%. I don't understand why this seems to be so difficult to grasp.
