I want to as well, unfortunately I am just straight up terrible at anything moderately difficult, and I know I should stay in my lane and not make 7 other people's lives miserable.
Just recently finished Eureka and now finishing up Bozja. With those done I'll just have to grind out that edgy pvp armor.
Wew lad. Either way I got a chuckle from it. There can't be a fetish for pool noodles right?
Internet rule of thumb: If it exists, there's probably a fetish for it.
Don't hate my shades you faglord.
I would not be shocked if this is some incredibly weird bondage kink for someone.
It's not the shades I'm disappointed by, catnigger. I still appreciate your autism though.
At least I'm a cool catnigger, I use war paint (its a little hard to see without getting close to my face) and I purposefully never dress in slut glam so I never look like some cutesy fag cat. I'm in big armored coats for life on every tank I play, was a proud wearer of my Alexander coat I got back in my a12s coat before Stormblood until I got the Bozja set.
You better take that back. My Elezen is the best Elezen.
Okay, in your case specifically, I will rescind my disappointment because that is a far more flattering visual example of your in-game character.
They are not, played on Tonberry for 3 years.
Fairly certain I'm the one who told you that and that's a stance I continue to maintain because XIV has been in this sort of social state since even the earliest days of ARR. The stranglehold the community has on its public image has never once let up in all that time, because the people who are most social in this game are the mentally deranged sort of people you're complaining about, and the people who are interested in breaking into the social hemisphere of the game are generally just as mentally deranged themselves.
I would argue that was then when ARR onward to about 4.0 Stormblood was when ffxiv was a niche mmo that wasn’t breaking new ground and wasn’t a commercial smash hit like it became during mid shadowbringers. Now that veterans of other mmos are starting to jump on the next big game, will they eventually go away because of post-abuse clarity for a lack of better terms? Would people eventually become tired of the sterile community it makes itself out to be constantly? I feel like newcomers who arrived now, in a couple months maybe a year and a half’s time will eventually jump ship once they realize how depressing toxic positivity actually is.
Like I said, a lot of people who come into XIV tend to be either easily mislead or just as mentally deranged as the people who run the social hemisphere. There will always be significantly less people who are put off from the game than the people who continue latching onto it and its community, and among those who are run off, I've personally found that hardly any of them have the awareness to realize they were dealing with a toxic social atmosphere to begin with. Most people I've talked to honestly think they were dealing with an isolated case, even when they see the rest of the playerbase acting much the same way.
Your biggest potential social problem unless you can truly pretend to be a native is dealing with hardcore Japanese nationalists who will try to fuck with you through 2ch autism or some shit like that. Their are some insano "JAPAN NUMBA 1" types in JP communities who basically treat gaijin like the plague and needed to be reminded of how their Samurai Nippon blood gifted gamer skills are number 1. Some will stalk you, find passive aggressive ways to fuck with you, or just ditch you if they see a gaijin name in an instance or just think you're a foreigner for any reason. I know in early ARR-HW era I recall stories of the latter happening fairly often to people with EN names in JP servers, I assume they stopped due to Tonberry players being too relevant for a long time so it became too self harming to ditch gaijin.
Don't know for any other classes, but Samurai is absolutely a fun class.
