      This is such a stupid and disingenuous take
      MMOs used to have game structures that rewarded people for forming communities in an actual meaningful way. A really simple example is tradeskills; most games limit the total number of your tradeskills you can learn, so the only way to gain access to the benefits of all tradeskills is to get in tight with someone who has the tradeskills that you don't have. This resulted in a fairly simple incentive to get to know other players. In FFXIV? You can learn all tradeskills. You have literally zero need to bring anyone else on board to your trade empire. You can craft literally everything in the game without needing to interact with any other player.

      This is just one example among literal hundreds of how FFXIV doesn't bother structuring a single one of its game systems in such a way to reward or even make socialization desireable. The end result is people just turn the game into mIRC with grafix, where the extent of your social interaction is conversation.

      MMOs used to be games where developers attempted to make a world first and a game second, and gave players the opportunity to find a *place* in that world. Now MMOs are largely just single player experiences with online chat. FFXIV is one of the worst offenders of this.

                Well, dumb zoomers (like you) thought this same thing, and now we have single player games with mIRC chat added on. So obviously bing bing wahoo isn't really the point of MMOs.

                It may not have been a conscious choice, but the result of long recovery time between pulls gave players a chance to actually, well, type something out. Resulting in socialization, as players talked to one another to fill the vacuum.

                You define it as a timewasting mechanic because you see no point to play these games beyond bing bing wahoo. You just want your dopamine hit so you can run to the next dopamine hit. I don't agree with that definition, nor your goals as a designer.

                But I did play them, andd they were shit, and I dropped them for it beause I wanted to play a videogame with my friends, not talk with my friends and take 5 minute breaks to play a game then resume talking, when I asked them to play a game with me. We went back to playing actually good multiplayer games instead like Monster Hunter and Quake. I get that you had no friends and had to use MMOs as a substitute for that, but you have to understand that old style MMOs are objectively bad as a videogame.

                No, I am arguing that MMOs in particular are about socialization to a degree far greater than other games, and some of the ways they achieved that, though perhaps inadvertent (since I can't read the minds of the game developers), resulted in superior forms of social engagement than the crap we have in FFXIV, to use one example.

                Thus far, all I have heard to the contrary are angry zoomers raging about being called out on what they are, and insisting that no guys, we're totally *more* social with mics, even though FFXIV doesn't even have such a voice chat system and that's explicitly one of the games being discussed. Nothing but obfuscation and redirection from morons.

                No, they don't. At any given moment in a HM clone you have something you can be doing. The only difference between it and Starcraft is that Starcraft makes you do those things and HM asks you to, giving you the *option* to do nothing if you feel like it (and also that the things Starcraft has you doing are higher intensity than the things HM has you doing usually). The problem with old school MMOs is that it wasn't an option, it was forced to waste your time and extend gameplay artificially. It was the late 90s/early 00s equivalent of modern mobage garbage that artificially extends your gameplay time by making you wait for upgrades in real time and the like. Modern MMOs do this to with weekly timers and resource caps, but they give you other *options* to do in the meantime.

                If you define "gameplay" as "literally never stop hitting buttons", then you're right, I am arguing that. Part of a gameplay experience is having ups and downs in intensity. But you know literally nothing about game design, so I don't really know why I'm wasting my time explaining them to you, since you are a determined shitposter.

                No I define having gameplay as the player is doing something other than standing around waiting (for something other than say a multiplayer server opening up).
                If your game is designed for the player to be standing around literally not doing anything it's bad. Even comfy downtime games like Harvest Moon have you constantly doing something, even if what you're doing is low energy. They allow the player to take the game at their own pace, working constnatly if they want to, and taking a break when they want to. They don't force it on the player. Old MMOs did this because they were designed to waste your time as much as possible. So they were charging you $12/month for a chatroom and you're moronic enough to have actually paid that.

                Right, so by the same argument, a game should never have cutscenes, since there's no button pressing going on. Actually, that means quick time events were actually genius, since that means now you can press buttons during cutscenes, which equals gameplay! We're so smart :*~~

                socialization being intertwined in gameplay already exists. you can only solo the msq till GKMM (pbuh). you don't have to talk for something to be social.

                now answer my question. why are you going to let someone like me run your gametime and progression? i am an omnicrafter, a healer and i own a nightclub. do you want me to Wu Zeitian you? do you want me to be able to ostracize you because you didn't tell me i'm pretty?

                if you actually want this system because you think you'll be in the top 5% of players, you will not because there will always be players with more time, resources and social connections than you.

                A bus is unironically MORE social than FFXIV's party finder queue, because at least you will probably see the same people more than once in your life. I have literally not once seen the same person in the roulette queue once in my entire 10-90 leveling experience. Most players I would be paired up with weren't even from my server, so once I exit the dungeon, I would almost certainly never see them again. At least two people riding the same bus are in the same physical space and probably need to be taking that bus at the same time, so if they continued taking it at the same time, they would likely run into one another again. In FFXIV? You will almost certainly never run into a single person you see in roulette queue ever again.

                So you're complete strangers paired up in a linear uninteractive dungeon who will never see them again. How exactly are you supposed to get any engaging social experience out of this shit? Sure, you can strike up conversation, but this brings the point home once more that the game does literally nothing to incentivize or assist socialization.

            there's a week of prep time, the source of ornate armor can be sat on for years (i have had one on my retainer since stormblood), and the entry barrier to crafting is laughably low. even buying all the materials yourself due to botting still turns out a tidy profit because people just can't be arsed to do shit themselves

    Because that is what MMOs WERE. They were glorified chat rooms, where you could "fight" things and win cosmetics. Then people demanded that the game take over and the social aspects were toned down as neckbeards complained more and more to make it harder. They wanted status symbols of how much time they dedicated to playing, instead of socializing.

              wow gates you out of mythic if you dont keep upgrading your shit, and if you wanna be "competitive" when new content pops you probably are going to buy wow tokens with real money and change it for gil to buy all the shit you need.
              unless you have a big guild and can reap 1bi gold out of its coffers(guilds generate gold like fc points as members do content)
              not to mention borrowed power systems

        When people talk about respecting your time they're talking about things like that, about how the "rep grinds" are small, there's no attunement or other restrictions, there's no borrowed power, all progression is meta-progression since you can have all jobs on one character, and you're not constantly fighting against timegated roadblocks.

    P10 may have broken me and my enjoyment for raiding.

    I started working full time 7 weeks ago, so I also have a lot of less free time, but after joining the tenth kill party that managed to see HH (and pass it) only once, I feel like my brain just kind of clicked and went: Why are we doing this?

    PF can be a true nightmare and I will clear the fight eventually (either on my own or with my casual static down the line), but it was a weird feeling.

    The fight is so freaking slow and then hyper exact for like 3 mechanic straights where one person being half a pixel off just snowballs into a wipe (bonds 3 into Wings 2 into wings 3 into HH) and for some reason people still don't mit HH. I have had multiple wipes where the tanks just started dying and in the death recap there was single sad mitigation on the damage: my addle. How hard is it to understand that HH is THE mitcheck this tier.

    Also, I get it, but I am sad that bonds are pure enumerations instead of heavy hitting four stacks. It feels really bad having one person kill 3 people because they were slightly too slow to get to their stack. Even the Light Based attacks in P11 are not pure enumerations and can be survived with 3, while being way less exact in positioning (looking at you bonds 3, spread first)

    >Muh ancients weren't gonna sacrifice people as the Third Sacrifice, just plants animals goy

    From Ere Our Curtain Falls: https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/tales_from_the_shadows/sidestory_07/

    >'The people were divided, unable to decide what to do with the future that now stretched out before them. Many wished to trade the new life which had sprung forth to reclaim those lost in sacrifice to Zodiark. No small number, however, insisted that the fate of our world should be entrusted to those selfsame freshly minted souls. All were at our wits' end.

    At once, we saw it, shimmering. It poured out of Zodiark's breast, and resolved into the shape of a man. As he looked us over─mouths agape, no doubt─he gave what passed for an earnest smile.
    >"Fear...not... You will make...the right choice. And I will see it through."'

    Trancers literally, forever, eternally BTFO'd. They were gonna sacrifice people, making lesser people but still people nonetheless and a large sum of Ancients (not just Venat) had took ethical issue with this (same people who btw had no issue with the first two sacrifices which were their own kind) and opposed the Convocation, which is in large part why Venat chose to Sunder the world. She, and her followers, wanted to entrust the future of the world to the new people's that had been born and did not believe it was morally justifiable to genocide them to bring back those who were already dead. That and of course because she knew her people were doomed and it was only the sundered who stood a chance to stop Meteion. So she commited Involuntary Mitosis upon all life in the world. The sundering didn't kill anyone, thereby it wasn't genocide before you go "MUH SUNDERING WAS GENOCIDE TOO"

    There you go. Shut the frick up.

          No it's not like XI much at all, XI was an Everquest clone and XIV is a WoW clone. XIV does use quite a lot of plot-beats and general veneer from XI though like all the ARR artifact armors being named after FFXI artifacts. Drachen Armor is still for Dragoons across games.

      Honestly herding 39 morons is easier than herding 7 morons. Most older MMO raid content didn't have full on instadeath hopscotch like FFXIV does, where a singular momentary mistake means it's time to redo the run. """Raiding""" in FFXIV is more like practicing a dance number than organizing an army to storm the gates of The Elemental Plane of Baddudes or whatever.
