i guarantee you have at 10k+ hours logged into action video games- yes, you are better than the median sampling of the population

??? no, i don't have 10k+ hours logged in to the genres i listed? lol. i have 10k+ hour in video games, but not those.

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

sure, that's a valid thing i was missing. yeah, this game may be attracting people who otherwise don't play games that require any real reflexes or learning, especially if they're playing to just see the story and then do farm/grind content.

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)

well a) some of us don't like the forced positivity vibes, but b) i'm not really complaining about newbies - if they were new, i'd understand it. it's when they're *not* new, and/or when they're clearly not even *trying*. if someone's at least trying, i don't care. and yeah, uncoordinated is one thing, but failing to clear a normal mode trial in an entire lockout, come on, that's pretty extreme. hence my wondering what on earth happened there. when i roll one of these trials i expect a wipe or two and a bunch of deaths, but not that.
