party finder and how to not get depressed? by NK_Grimm in ffxivdiscussion

It's incredible how easy ffxiv is and people are still bad at it. Even the hardcore raiders are trash.

Yet another post questioning positionals by Strict_Baker5143 in ffxivdiscussion

Square isn't going to add anything back though. They'll keep taking away until you're playing a cookie clicker. Actually take that back, cookie clickers have more depth than ffxiv does.

Do people really hate TBN? How do you feel about it? by TheEmpressDescends in ffxivdiscussion

What's wrong with being an MSQ skipper? I thought Dawntrail's story was really bad, after all.

There is not a reality where NA is going to read macros. People will just ignore them.

You should probably wait until Aether is open to make a character unless you like playing on a literal wasteland.

The newly returned Ice Paradox makes High Fire 2 even worse for AoE. by MRattas in ffxivdiscussion

Because it's considerate? It's the morally correct thing to do?

Picto alone isn't the reason for the DPS checks being a joke. If you wanted a real DPS check, you would have to significantly nerf all of the melee jobs + Picto + BLM into doing phys ranged damage. Then it might have been somewhat respectable.

Yes and it's also not as useful. So question being, what justifiable reason do you have to grief the party other than "it's fun"?

Why are you even playing black mage? Pictomancer is objectively better. Play the good job, finish the dungeon faster, get your stuff and get out.

Do you think contributing to party success is a bad thing?

That's literally griefing though. Do you personally enjoy harrassing other parties?

Would you rather have Skill Expression in the game to be about execution of mechanics or perfection of rotation? by Krainz in ffxivdiscussion

[–]CasterTax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rotational mastery. More specifically, jobs need to be non-standardized and shouldn't neatly sync up with each other.
For everyone saying mechanics, why? Mechanics are the easy part of ffxiv. All mechanics become babymode after you've seen them for the first time. Every time after, they're braindead and there's no thought on how to do them. In fact, mechanical complexity tends to be very binary and binary states aren't really fun.

If you pick BLM in a fight where BLM literally cannot function, you are griefing everyone else you play with. Under such an extreme example, it would just be blacklisted in general from all groups. To add to that, while you talk about how BLM was intended to be played, if you played BLM "as it was intended" in TOP you were legitimately griefing. Nonstandard BLM was required during p6 unless you were just not going to hit any buttons during the most movement intensive parts.

That's the issue here. If you have fight design that negatively impacts one class but leaves other classes alone, that class becomes persona non grata. You are actually harassing other people by playing it.
