Sorry for the wall of text!
For the last 2.5 years I’ve noticed a huge change in FFxi player base. You see back in my day(plus in hnmls day) it was pretty much expected you either 1.had google ready for questions you had about ffxi content 2.knew your sh*t MB, which ele is weak to what etc or 3.knew the mechanics of a fight you were doing without much explanation or guidance from other players fighting with you. Now fast forward to today it’s well different. Maybe it’s just a small amount of people from odin (even though some posts on here say otherwise.) What do some people use google for instead of researching their ffxi questions first? I’m talking common sense questions like, “I’m level 99 what does meditate do on Sam?”(maybe pick mediate and the description will tell you?) Or “I’m in Abby Tahrongi canyon where’s chloris? How do I pop him?” Did you search google? Bg wiki? Anything that says FFxi? “No that’s why I asked the linkshell! Why would I search for that?” Or best one yet, “so I’m gonna pop unity intulua unsure where to go.” Did you read the Unity ROE when you set it? “Yes, it says nothing.” :Head desk: and no these people are mostly veterans not new players some returning but been back awhile. Begin the trolling but I am trying to understand what changed? When it takes 30 seconds to maybe 3 mins to get the answer on 98 percent of ffxi content or at least try to.
