So yes on M-W I had that elitist attitude, but once i finished I tried to help ppl, they either got it or they didnt.

R3P0 - I can appreciate that - and trust me, I played EverQuest since 1999 so I understand the value of a good DPS parse and knowing content strats.

I think the disparity in the game comes in with PC vs. PSx players. While I freely admit, I haven't played FF XIV on a PC, I think playing on a PSx grouped with players leveraging a PC, causes issues.

There was some content in the end game that I fully understood the content, but just couldn't "keep up" with the rest of the group. I was always in the "right spot" a few seconds too late or my macros weren't producing sufficient enough DPS (SMN main).

IDK - for me, if it was F2P, I'd still be in. If I have to pay to have my balls broken, I may as well get married

Is there some kind of free to play thing going on right now? I haven't paid for a subsription yet but I'm still able to log in and play.

I bought the PS3 version in Feb, used the 30 day trial and never upgraded to a paid sub.

Played both PS4 Beta and then started the early accsses last week and still haven't had to pay

If you were on Ps3 then trust me there is nothing you can do to fix your rotations. The PS3 version is hampered by severe lag even on the best of connections. The server side "checks" for position would always get you. Sadly you would have been a victim of my rules on my 3 deaths = kick rule.

Yeah . . . PS3 play was rough. Whenever my train came in, I was at the airport

The wait time for the dungeons in this game is crazy!

I need to complet the Chamber of Embers to progress the story and so far I've been sat here over 30mins with no hint of movement. There's just no Tanks or Healers. Makes me want to quit my character and start as one of those instead

I am tank and I rarely wait over 2 mins. On the weekends, it is usually finds me a group as soon as it I hit the queue button.

I do have a bard too. Wait time for that class is usually 30 mins Mon-Fri and 20ish on the weekends.

Just too many people playing DPS classes. If you go DPS, then be prepared to wait for your dungeon queues.

Do your hunting log while you wait.

Or simply switch to another class while you wait. Just be prepared to switch back to the class you initiated the queue with at the drop of a hat. In other words, you don't need to sit around on the same class while you wait.

Completed my platinum for FFXIV on Thursday after 7 months of playing and probably hundreds of hours.
