See, and now you feel attacked and try to defend yourself. This is exactly why the game has an extended trial up to Heavensward, because that is where the big filter is. We tell everyone to check it out, you'll see if it suits you for yourself. Just don't rush or boost or something like that. You don't have to catch up.
If it's not for you that's okay. Just don't be an asshole about it like that Quin69 guy.

The short version, nobody is "wrong" or "right", everyone has different tastes. It's not even that people who like most of the game disagree that a lot of the ARR story is pretty tough to get through at times/most of the time. But there's always going to be some who just skip every cutscene cause they don't care. It's always been the case that FFXIV probably isn't the game for them. I don't know if that's exactly you, but it sounds like it probably fits sorta close. There's other games out there.

I have never understood people who rush to the "endgame", other than the first couple of MMOs ever, maybe. Where is the content at? If most of the content is built around leveling and your leveling experience sucks, i.e. EQ at the start, long term you are in trouble.

Yeah baby, Scholar SSS.
Also, nevermind on Triple Triad lmao. Beat one of the npc's about 100 times trying to get the final card they could reward me, after I got my 10th copy of the other cards they offered I decided the illustrious Triple Triad card game is not for me. Now to study the art of the other game they have, that seems like Star Trek Chess.

Is it common to have non sprouts in Dungeon roulette that only do 1 pack at a time, even in easy dungeons? Because it has been happening to me constantly. It gets so bad I'll go pull extra as the healer, because I know I can handle it, even if the tank doesn't grab them, but a good portion of the time the tank will throw a hissy fit about it. And then on my tank runs, I find people just so incredibly slow. Level 50 or lower dungeon; Scholar; tank doesn't want to go more than 1 pack, MAYBE 2 at a time. It's like, okay, well I'm just gonna afk /follow you than because my fairy can handle it. It's so damn boring. It's not even about being super fast and efficient, it's just boring as fuck 1 pack at a time, but I seem to be in the minority in feeling that way in most of my dungeons. Do people not enjoy seeing their AoE ability kablam 10 mobs? Because it's the best.
Have been enjoying my AST a bit more at least, now that I have more abilities. It's particularly fun when I do actually get a tank that wants to pull to our actual capabilities and I have to blast everything but I also want to keep my cards goin and do as much damage as possible. Unfortunately those runs are rare, and usually it's 1 heal cast per 15 damage spell casts.

I've been getting all sprout groups trying to do my Anima ( just finished Zeta ). I tell the tank to pull at least 2 groups, he doesn't respond so i move ahead and grab before I release my holy load.

I’ll admit I’m a slower tank first time through but then I have tried to speed demon it and it was a shitshow. I ran some level 50 dungeon and the non-sprout healer couldn’t keep me up and he finally said “my bad. I forget to watch your health”
As a healer (AST) i run wall to wall with nocturnal sect spamming shield if needed. If the tank doesn't follow, not my problem, he will be left alone with his pack, because i know the DPS will follow.
Edit : that works high level, not on low level roulette when you don't have all your healing skills

You can be a non-spout and still learning a class. When I was leveling a healer, I used to disclaim that I was still learning how to play one
Also that Asmon Edit is great. One of the comments on that video says it best: Ironic that you can only live an epic WoW moment in FFXIV lol

Some tanks like pulling the entire dungeon at once.. and then don't use any of their defensive cooldowns when it is gathered. And complain about "why couldn't you keep me up?" "Motherfucker, if I have to hit every cooldown I have to keep you alive, I can't be casting shit to kill things simultaneously. Do your part."
It's a two way street, and a non-trivial amount of tanks think that you just gather everything and forget to press your other buttons. Drives me nuts.
That or tanks who are at bare minimum ilvl for content and try to do it, and that ilvl isn't in the left hand side. That's also pretty annoying, because there is pretty big difference between armor and vitality on the left hand gear as ilvls go up.

Just the fact that you can actually do something like that in a high difficulty raid in FF14 is worth mentioning. Mass rez is nothing but a convenience tool in WoW, in FF14 they created one of the most epic raiding moments I've ever seen.
The monk still dpsing nails (correctly!) in the face of a wipe, the DK popping living dead to buy more time, the astro healing himself to survive until LB3, and then BAM.

Man, those relic and warfront changes. Almost makes me glad I didn't quite finish yet

Relic changes are minimal, it impacts the one time only quest for 18/18 so it will be 100% drop from fates and 3 from alliance. The only repeatable help was the loathsome now 100% from CEs but you already get 5 from castrum, that's meant to incentivize people actually clearing the undesirable ones. Not having to stand on the prison switches helps some very minor scenarios besides <6 people.
