  1. People are seriously being babies about Endwalker lately, I noticed. As if there isn't a massive trove of content readily available for the vast majority of players.

    Y'all, it's not like WoW. If you want a hardcore endgame raid gear rat race grind, go play that. You have PLENTY of options for endgame content here and if you aren't interested in it, you probably just don't like FFXIV that much beyond the story. And that's completely okay.

  2. I came from TERA, I was literally cursed with racist slurs because we got wipes from FIHM(their "savage" tier of dungeon) for a known bugs.
    FFXIV is like one of those friendly retire community to me ;_;

  3. "Don't be afraid?" Really? This is the community that unironically made me genuinely suicidal over a misunderstanding. I don't trust this game's players. I haven't even actually played for months because the grind is just boring as shit. No, I'd much rather stay well within the walls that separate me from the rest of the world. I've never been wanted in the first place. I'll never be special or have anything positive to offer. I'm convinced most people who even know my name would rather I hurried up and died. If I livestreamed an attempt, people would celebrate and meme. And honestly, maybe that's the right call anyway.

  4. I think telling people mechanics is different than telling other's what to do. And if you are a healer the WoW-players are here now and will bring their attitudes. That said, if there is one thing I learned about FFXIV after playing for like 4 years now it's that people aren't that much different than in WoW. Even some supposed "positive helpful" streamers have talked crap about players on their stream when I've tuned in or claimed that a certain player didn't "deserve" to roll on gear because they died once to a mechanic. So I guess I learned that FFXIV was not what the long-time player base made it out to be and they were just boosting their egos.

  5. The nice comedy aside, a sad thing is, that all of these are true:

    1. never offer advice (until asked; but even if asked most of the time its useless); yeah people have such egos, if you give them advice, offer them time of your life and earnestly offer to deal with THEIR problems (which srsly you could give sh*ts about) to HELP them, they still rather are angry at you for DARING to tell them the ugly truth instead of letting them stay in their little happy fabricated world full of lies…
    2. don't trust anyone: same; most people do not "betray" you (for lack for a better word) becuse they necessarily want to, but because they are too afraid to stick to values and stand up to consequences if they did, or being hurt themselves; however … the result is the same in most cases, no matter the intention :/
    3. don't be afraid: yeah this is obvious; people are always so afraid of trying new things without acknowledging, that only if you fail, you are able to learn and grow and "git gud"

    welp, thanks for reading my 3 cents
    Nice video~
    You wanted to praised for something in rune scape you said too fast for me to understand but good job!

  6. you know; its funny how true Number one is turning out to be. every time i do fights and people keep messing up, and despite the fact that we are telling people they can ASK QUESTIONS; so many times, people just don't ask a damn thing, WIPE THE PARTY SEVERAL TIMES, and they we just start to give up.

  7. I don't know, I don't trust this guy and his life lessons. I mean, I guess I can believe the don't trust anyone, but the rest. Seems kinda sus if you ask me. Trust me bro, don't trust him. Signed, a trustworthy stranger on the internet.

    About giving advice: It depends on the advice. Players were positive about it when I taught them how to skip Titania EX's add phase (just stop ALL attacks at 23% and resume it when the tether spawns, tank picks it up and mitigates through all 6 hits while the group DPS's Titania down, you're welcome). It shorted the fight by 33% or 1 minute. It seems to be related to the kind of advice we give. If it's about their own gameplay/skills, it won't be well received and, in some cases, everyone will gang up on the one giving advice. There are exceptions to that, of course, but most problems with advice seem to be related to that.

    About trusting others: I had a stack up marker on me. In a TRUST. And they ran away from me. I died. This takes the top spot in Anime Betrayals of 2023 or something, IDK.

    I knew what you were going to say when you mentioned F/GO. It's always Astolpho when it's about F/GO and trusting others.

    You're right, that's what happens if the WoL does nothing. It's canon for those who don't complete the MSQ and stop playing.

  8. People playing the game stupidly and making the dumbest mistakes
    Me in the outside: "That's okay"
    Me in my mind: "Your intellect is as weak as your Gil. Failure is your destiny. You disrespect yourself and your Grand Company. You are made of stupid."

  9. Thank you for this video, HUGE facts. I wanna add something, and this is something i've learned playing this game and it's helped out irl too. Just don't take shit so seriously. Sure there are for sure serious things in life. But really, not everything is as serious as we make it out to be.

  10. i was gonna meme but honestly ff14 gave me a social life and friends when i was struggling to get through university. I even met my current partner from being in the same FC and now we've been together for over 7 years and we're getting married soon. This game has had a massively positive impact on my life and it would be incredibly different if I never downloaded it. I still play it constantly and my favorite thing to do is help new players and usher them on their own journey.

  11. My way to express to others that do minimal effort is by being passive aggressive it's salty it's kinda mean but in a good way to make people realize that they could make a little effort most of the time they just ignore it but they can't really say much because it's not banable. plus you have to be carefull with everything in this game because usually people get oversensitive

  12. All jokes aside, the meme on the mentor system has actually enabled a lot of the community to be borderline abusive towards anyone wearing a crown whether they are a good player or not. When I got my crown and went into instances; I got treated poorly even without giving any advice and just being a normal player. That includes healers janking me around with rescue saying that the mentor needs to be saved more than anyone, and DPS running ahead and pulling with comments saying that "the mentard is being too slow." I didn't earn my crown to be an ego andy. I just think mentor rolo is really fun because its one giant rolo, and I do like to help people if they "ask" for help. I never give advice if they don't ask, because if they aren't brave enough to ask, they aren't strong enough to receive criticism. (Or they don't care.) I turned off my mentor status thanks to the mentors that ruined the rep, and because the community just believes everything they hear.

  13. Before I started playing FF14, my social anxiety was at it's worst. I went from someone who grew up playing MMORPGs regularly, always interacting with people online to being too afraid of even joining a guild. But this game helped me love MMORPGs again and now I'm even interacting with randos in Limsa, though as a cat girl I've learned to be wary of male aura… anyway, definitely don't be afraid of trying anything in FF14. Except replying to tells from male aura. Maybe be afraid of that. (Joking aside, this game seriously did help me with my anxiety!)

  14. It's probably your data center on point one. I help people and talk I chat often without a "fuck you" for telling a tank that arm's length is also a mitigation.

    Also if you think FFXIV will cause trust issues, it's got nothing on EVE. Whenever i am undocked in eve, I am spamming long range scans and eyeballing the list of people in system (local chat) so hard for anything suspicious. Game makes you so untrusting of others you are straight paranoid someone is looking to pull up with four or five friends and blow your shit apart at any second.

    Still a funny kougaon vid tho.

  15. Ff14 gave me flashbacks to when i played Destiny 1 at 10 yrs old, and would raid with 45 year old dads who would take a smoke break every time we wiped. Ff14 is just like that, except it's an equal 50/50 split of moms and dads.

  16. 11:22 – "Anyone can clear if they really put their mind to it."
    Except "getting a clear" from everyone in the group except you being experienced is not really getting a clear.

    I'm pretty aware that some things in 14 are above my skill level. Unfortunately I'm also concerned that the number of things in 14 which are above my skill level are increasing with each patch that comes out…

  17. Since I started making foods inspired by the food buffs you can make in FFXIV as a culinarian, I feel like I've been having much healthier meals and fun at cooking too, with which I struggled as an adolescent ♥. Shout out to the Shakshouka furniture item that started it all!
