banananor 12/24/21 6:20:44 PM #48:	Dels posted... what i always find so mindblowing about people being that bad at ffxiv is that, like, i consider myself really bad at most video game genres like put me in any FPS or shooter i will literally run around clueless, not being able to dodge a single shot or hit a single opponent. i can't play any action games like devil may cry, bloodborne, etc, i have no reflexes, like i need zelda-style games where your only attack is a single sword swipe or it's too hard for me. maybe i get the wrong impression because i don't see the bad players in those genres so i just assume everyone is good at them since they're super popular but i can play ffxiv because, uh, it's just really easy. things are so telegraphed and they happen in the same order every time and you have 2.5 seconds between every button you have to press for your own fixed rotation so how am i somehow in the, like, upper tier of skill in this game compared to all these people in duty finder...? i guarantee you have at 10k+ hours logged into action video games- yes, you are better than the median sampling of the population a lot of people play successful mmos outside of lifetime action gamers. a lot of the easy grinding, farming, old content, and crafting is targeted towards them complaining about newbies or the uncoordinated is not it, guys. in fact, the one thing that's supposed to be true about ffxiv is the positive and supportive community. (this is not targeted towards just you, obviously) additionally, this game encourages people to grind infinitely and level every class. ofc people aren't gonna be great at their 11th alt agesboy posted... the only thing you really need to get great at ffxiv is experience and memorization honestly it's super true. my first few runs through a trial or raid fight i look like a huge damn idiot. it takes quite a few runs before my brain irons things out, and then i can almost run it with my eyes closed. it's very easy to slip into bafflement and forget that not everybody has done it a dozen times like you have --- You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured. <cite>banananor posted [p:961188329] in FFXIV Topi...
