Final Fantasy XIV Elitism Drama | Xeno Reacts

[@obamaorb7426]

If you can’t tell your friend that they’re doing something wrong and actively punish other people for your friends mistakes then there is something really wrong with that friendship

[@excelbig3545]

legit. Im in a static with 2 of my irl friends and others i met in ff. I shout much louder at my real life friends than i do my static mates lol

[@Rukia21love]

I was in a static where it was mostly friends. Static leader was okay with HIS friends missing raid, making mistakes and what not. Heaven forbid one of the non bffs miss raid or make mistakes. We were heald to a different standards than the bffs.

[@TrueChaoSclx]

I was kicked out of my last static because my co healer was friends with the two tanks and can relate. It's so frustrating when people will nitpick everything you do, comb through every GCD, watch a VOD second by second just to find excuses to justify blaming you when their friend is the obvious issue.

[@Robin-fx5hf]

me and my close friend from high school have raided together since we joined in late stormblood. We do ultimate prog together, not the super current stuff but recently finished up TEA. If we could not tell each other that the other was being an idiot or needed to step it up, we wouldn't be where we are. Communication, even when it's telling someone their problems, is so essential, moreso as friends outside of video game content. So absolutely yes to your comment

[@rRekko]

Right? I'm guessing it's just ''online friendship'' tbh, since normal people would actually tell their friend what they're doing wrong to help them become better and enjoy the game more because they're just doing better.

16:10 "Probably because you are trying to parse the fight instead of progging it." That should have been said to the Sage since they apparently try to keep uptime during the downtime phase.

[@iAronn]

Rin was being so passive aggressive. Rin actually gaslighted the fuck out of wave to protect dice that was originally in the friend group. Even though Dice was the one who was creating the issues during the prog wasting all his mana. Rin probably made Wave feel like he was actually insane and genuinely not healing enough. Insane passive aggressive manipulation

Had this once or twice with groups but then I find in other groups I am a super down to earth person so its like okay? Honestly I find FFXIV community worse than WoWs.

[@KiraNightV]

"We keep having this problem in P3, Dice is straining himself" - that is technically true and that's because he's spending all his mana when he shouldn't. but unless you sit down and explain this like Wave does in the beginning of the video they will never understand. They look at the logs, see that Dice is casting a fuck ton of GCDs when Wave isn't and conclude that Dice is doing the good thing because the party is alive, without realizing that the reason they're alive there is because there's no damage to heal from and he just wants to keep his healing uptime for higher funny numbers

[@Incensement]

dice is well known in the parsing community on crystal. no one wants to coheal with dice. shit tier attitude, shit tier healing. the lead (peter) is big shrimpin for dice tho, I knew some other people in this group that got kicked because dice didn't want them for no reason. they also use forbidden "technology" seeing something like this, as a longtime raider on crystal, doesn't suprise me at all. dice/peter and friends are 100% trouble and shit tier humans, at best. it's nice to see other people realize how much of a dickass dice is tho

[@nashwise4everGM]

The amount of gaslighting that Rin done is insane.

[@aanloix]

Dice is well-known in Crystal for being a massive griefer and a really terrible person to boot. It's insane that they are protecting him over Wave, when you could ask anyone in the Crystal raiding scene and they would tell you that Dice is an instant kick/dodge.

[@Greg-if8es]

@@TheTerrorofDeath23 This exactly. This healer *knows* that they are weak because that healing looks purely like the "panic" healing I've seen in PF. Dice is upset because data shows that they're wrong, and they're too insecure and bigheaded to admit that they're wrong hence leaving EVERYTHING to avoid being put in the position to explain themselves and instead chose to look like a victim. It's pathetic.

[@TheTerrorofDeath23]

[@DayaranPlays]

The worst part is that this behavior is often encouraged. During their little discussion someone said "well your cohealer left so you should think about whos really upset" or something along those lines. Now obviously i dont know what happened before and maybe they explained themselves properly before leaving (whether they were in the wrong or not.) But throwing a fit to get your way is something thats becoming increasingly common. Encouraging temper tantrums is absolutely the worst thing to do and it should not be tolerated as being even remotely normal under any circumstances.

[@mirror2922]

The words "It's ok to cry" and calling out chat for clowning around someone for being upset. People need to hear it more even if its in a video game socially interacting with people opens you up to getting hurt by them too .This happens all the time in retail, customer service etc, yes you will learn to block it out and keep trucking but it still hurts and some people might be more prone to it than others. It happens in life too many damn times, the only thing different was that it was in an online game, which somehow in people mind takes the novelty out of the social experience. Everyone has a bad day, and I respect a man that is willing to reign their audience in when they don't like what is being said.

You missed the part where the leader of the group is actually the guy who was caught zoom hacking with Rin the first week. Rin was grouping with him since the release, the leader just name changed and Rin thought everyone would fall for it (the leaders old name was Ai’magril and changed it to Aya Magril, he is also on the clown list).

[@Klefth]

Every time Rin's name comes up, it's stupid drama, and to me, it's so funny that it's exactly the guy that tries to portray himself as the super positive, super inclusive, everything is peachy kinda guy. You know, it's like when you see those PFs that say "let's have fun! No salt!", but turn out to be the trappiest, most toxic parties you can join.

[@07citychamp]

This reminds me of a funny story actually. I used to parse quite a bit in edens gate, and as such I would run into parties with rin. Whenever we ended up in the same party we would both join in GNB since it’s the class we both played the most. The way he would try to settle it after awhile is “best logs takes GNB”, I actually had better logs than him leading up to TEA and he would get upset and just leave the party since I wouldn’t flex for him every time.

[@SuperEffector]

It's always the same with people like that, they try really hard to hide how awful they are by being the loudest about how "great" they are.

[@DaCheeeeeeese]

[@LightCloak]

Man Rin has ruined so many of my PF parties in the past. The last time I dealt with it was last expansion me & a friend were trying to parse E9 and we spent 3 hours with Rin & Momo grieving the shit out of us. I'm petty, I'll remember that shit lmao Both of them are now forever on my blocklist. The whole time they were both blaming random people when over half the wipes were because of them. I have no idea how either of them got a following.

[@j0shimitsu]

The irony right?? I noticed this shit too

[@retromastery7010]

Okay, I know it's a bit off topic but can we talk about chat ACTIVELY making fun of the guy for being upset? Thank god Xeno told em' to shut the fuck up at 44:00 because this kind of shitty behavior's shouldn't be a thing. I mean, hell, Just the fact that you can be made fun of for being upset and showing emotions... Dude clearly has been bottling that shit up for a while and it's literally BEGGING to be released. This, is exactly why so many people are actually terrified of showing emotions, because random-ass people like the ones in chat will judge them and even laugh at them, even though they NEVER met the person before and they don't even have the full context. Personally, I can 100% relate to what the dude is going through, because the same shit happened to me in most MMO's I played, the breaking point was Guild Wars 2 when I was farming Fractals (Pretty much high level dungeons) with my old static, these people were OBSESSED with their stupid DPS meter and would actively be passive aggressive to those who did not reach a certain amount of DPS, even though some of the people were playing supportive roles. And lemme tell you... it feels like SHIT to be yelled at and guilt tripped just because you're not living up to some arbitrary standards that some dipshit made up. And eventually, after enough abuse... you're just gonna reach a breaking point, I know I reached mine a long time ago, and as a result I don't run high end raiding content anymore, and I suspect the dude might reach that same breaking point if he doesn't find a static with actually decent human beings in it Edit: also, just for clarity's sake, know that the vast majority of groups you'll find in FF14 and GW2 are almost all super nice, those bad experiences are the exception, not the rule. Just wanted to throw that out there because I know my comment make it sounds like every single high end groups are that bad, but they aren't, especially not in GW2 and FF14

Yeah, Xeno had a valid point when he said told them to imagine themselves in that situation.

They were pretty much uno reverse carding this guy while he was trying to logically explain his points.

Honestly this dude sounds legit, I've been raiding slightly longer and still haven't done an Ultimate, clearing current savage tiers and DSR on Astro? Progging P5 in TOP?

[@blairbryan4040]

This response will get slept on but is completely true. Since rin is a streamer and a lot of good players view his stream, they would have a negative view of him as a healer and make it harder to find a new group. He did kinda have to come out and put himself out there just to defend his ability to play in good groups moving forward.

Seen them posting for new members every week since I left. Clearly not a "blaze" problem. I don't get why people insist on playing with people they don't like, just dip, who cares. You'll clear eventually, if you're not the problem in a group.

Xeno was right to correct his chat multiple times. It's easy to laugh something off when you've put no effort into it yourself. It's very hard to stop yourself from being emotional when you put a lot of time and effort. You've committed yourself to something, did your absolute best, and it resulted in this. I'm happy to be a Xeno viewer after today, not many streamers are brave enough to correct their chat on something like this.

[@TecTitan]

I've had wow guild drama the first few weeks after the first raid of BFA dropped that ended up losing me every contact I had in that guild. I found out how fake everyone was but something nagged me like I was somehow wrong. If I appeased the people who treated me badly better, or something along those lines, maybe it wouldn't have gone that way. But the truth was they were all liars and the moment they perceived any slight against of their in crowd from me they told me to get into a discord call and chewed me out. I didn't even know who the guy was, he wasn't even in the raids I ran into him in a guild dungeon run while he was talking a lot of shit about how he was a lawyer that worked for blizz and all I said to one person I thought actually liked me in the guild was that I thought he wasn't telling the truth. Bam, now I'm "antisocial" and a weirdo and they "trusted" me. And they were going to shun me but not kick me out of the guild because they wanted me to learn my lesson for not believing their fucking loser liar friend. We weren't even trying mythic bosses. It was a very casual raiding guild and they took it that seriously. It was crybaby pathetic and everyone involved was WELL north of 25 years old. I put so much time and energy into grinding things and giving advice to other Demon Hunters who had better gear but wasn't pulling the same numbers (not that I was good, they weren't looking up how to play the class.) But I go from having what I thought was a guild of friends to nothing for making that "mistake". I don't fault people for taking things seriously when they're doing something difficult.

Also the people in chat are dumb. Being publicly humiliated and talked down to, of course Wave is going to make a video in retaliation and explain what happened. People telling him to get over it and move on are stupid, the same could be said to Rin and the others who were against Wave. This is what happens when people care.

Coming from someone who quit raiding as a new raider in shadowbringers because of the same situation but in reverse; (I was overhealing and instead of telling me how to mitigate they just kicked me without a word) this resonates a lot with me. Wave didn’t deserve to go through that, and getting gaslit like that is just awful. In my case, I later found out from the Samurai in our group that the reason I was kicked was because the raid leader’s friend (who was also a white mage like me) got out of the hospital and was ready to raid with them again. They never told me I was a temp. It was an awful situation and the fact I got treated so horribly; I was told I was not a good player when in fact it was because they needed an excuse to have their friend in the group… It’s disheartening.

[@strawberrydialectics]

the people in chat and probably many others who will see this video making fun of this guy for sounding upset is most likely the very reason why he also mentioned ableism early on. not everyone can communicate perfectly and calmly. its okay to be upset, he's pretty valid here. and its okay to sound upset. its unfortunate that the more flustered you sound, the more incorrect you are in someones eyes and they can use it against you. and i think people get too caught up in the memes and reacts/emotes to actually step back, listen & critically think about whats being said

[@aaronclay4665]

Yea he is getting emotional and it does sound like he is gonna cry, but I don't see a problem with that, he knew he was right but everyone was saying he was wrong( this is how crazy ppl feel) so I get it. Dude just wants vindication that he is right and not crazy lol.

[@captainsavvy07]

My default reaction to any strong feeling is to cry, so this rings true for me so much. Happy? Cry Sad? Cry Angry? Cry Scared? Cry I also don't deal with confrontation well, because it just makes me (you guessed it) cry. It's why I will never raid. I agree with Xeno that anyone shaming someone for getting upset when they've been through something as stressful as this is small dick energy.

[@owa1985]

The buttons are there because he uses them to track his CDs. I do the same. The reason the things are there in the middle of the screen is because there's a lot less distance for our eyes to move in order to look at them while having to focus at the middle of the screen looking out for mechanics and what not. Them being close to the middle also allows their slight flashing when they come off CD to catch our eyes. It's a UI thing.

[@TecTitan]

FF14 not being big on using mods wouldn't be in on the meta in this regard I feel It's something wow players have been doing for what feels like a decade. Your eyes are going to be where your characters feet are sometimes to try and avoid being caught in AoE's/mechanics and having your important information hiding in the very corner of the screen will take your eyes off all of that and even the character details that appear during procs.

[@Gillian_FFXIV]

I just want to say that I am happy that you defended Wave for expressing his emotions & telling chat to fuck off, honestly. Meme or not, some people really do behave as if it's a sin to feel something or illustrate your emotions in such a way as if you aren't human or something or go through shit. You truly never know the other things a person may be enduring on their daily basis that contributes to the crap they also gotta deal with online.

[@冲浪男孩]

The funny shit was, Rin would have off the steaming and talked it personally with wave nicely, but he still ran the steam, which also means part of Rin's mind was to purposely shame wave in open public. He has no right to do so, as it is within the group. So Rin brought it to the public first ( with intention ) not to mention that guy who used hack while Rin still include him in the teams. What friend's script he testing, was a paid version as one of our ex-member had shown us way long before. Aya Magril aka Ai’magril? LOL oh wow.

I just want to give Wave a big hug, he didn't deserve any of that. As a WHM main I understand the effort you have to put into a group with GCD heals, dps and communication with your Co healer.

Drama happens and I respect him venting all of this.

[@lv.99mastermind45]

Just had a very similar situation to this happen to me, and I was immediately reminded of this. I joined a TOP progg and clear group, starting at P1. I'm running AST. We had members not able to come for multiple sessions, so we were constantly running subs. We had a continual problem with the sub co-healer not knowing how to heal Program Loop properly. For those that understand how the debuffs work for that mechanic, or those that have healed that ULT, obviously you understand that you aren't supposed to dump heals on random players with damage, but that there are very specific people you're supposed to heal at very specific times. This is very easy to do, actually, but you have to understand the technicality of what's happening in order to do it right. Instead, we had substitute healers coming in and feeling they had to kitchen sink throughout loop, and weren't helping to heal 3's and 4's when they were going to take their towers. I brought this up to the raid leader multiple times, to the point that he said "we get it, you've explained this 80 times", and left the problem unaddressed. He then comes to me saying "I've looked at the logs, and these healers are putting out way more healing than you are. I hope that's eye opening", basically ignoring everything I said. I told him for the 100th time that you can't just sit there dropping heals on random people, and that we needed to focus on SPECIFIC people. Just felt completely gaslit. That same day, the static leader said we were going on a hiatus due to people not being able to show up consistently, and i just took that opportunity to walk away. Absolutely disappointing when i spent a very long time making sure I was prepared to do my job correctly.

i was raidlead for 7 years in wow and watching the vid triggered me. if you want to raid with your friends its fine but you have to make sure that the rest of the static knows this. but i think if you want to raid the hardest content then theres no place for favouritism. i never took couples because of this. i feel bad for the dude. what a horrible first hardcore raid experience

[@kazunamori943]

I honestly think that Rin didn't even look at the logs and just took the word of his friend over the new healer. When doing content like this you can really only focus on what you are doing and trust that your group knows what they are supposed to do. If you stop to police what everyone is doing then you die to stupid mistakes because you are not focused. I personally think the AST is right because their co-healer had a complex and it sabotaged their gameplay. This absolutely is a thing that happens with healers and this is why finding a co healer you can vibe with is so important because their overheal can fuck your logs. This Sage was being selfish and when called out about it got defensive. The sage has the raid leads ear and they are friends so they are gonna get treated differently, this isn't an elitist thing its about professionalism. Its rare to find people who can do high level content and also be your friend. Casual players don't understand the mental strain raiders go thru when completing ultimate and I don't think Rin is proud about the way he spoke to Wave but at the end of the day he still has to deal with Dice and make prog. He picked his side and now has to deal with it.

[@vicc6790]

@@vicc6790 if you are a HC raider the level of personal responsibility is much higher.

If you have already cleared and have enough RAM in your brain to memorize everyone's role, buffs, and see what mechanic they have, all at the same time while focusing on what you have to do, by all means go ahead an police your team. The rest of us humans don't have time for that, especially during prog. Golden rule = Cover your own ass.

I already kind of put the savage clears and extremes on a pedestal of "these people play this on another level from myself" so I understand the trepidation when it comes to questioning who's in the right. But there also comes a time when you need to look around and realize that you're not the issue. And if the team doesn't see that, you really need a new team. You're not doing yourself any favors bending over backwards to help those who don't want to be helped. Self-respect is just as important as respecting your team. Actually, it's probably more important. Because self-respect can allow you to see this mess for what it is and walk away. Kudos on having the courage to ask other healers for a second and third opinion.

[@AlAustin1981]

I feel his pain. My first raid group I had to go to sub cause of school. They asked me to help them with a fight. I agreed, we cleared, I won a ring. After the fight I was told that all sun are required to pass gear to main raiders and that’s how most groups do it. In actuality the other caster that replaced me when I went sub threw a fit cause he did win gear and since they were all friends I got the shaft. My second raid group I was suppose to be a co founder. We were suppose to be a very casual group. The second we got to refulgance rhey started kicking players with low parses. I started getting scared cause I’m not a high parser. I started asking for help and what not but my friend of over 10 years was too focused on keeping the co healer on par and then they just kicked me cause I was only doing 7500 dps without my weapon and chest on refulgance. The worst part is they totally lied about kicking me and they swore to me that i was doing totally okay cause I was asking for help and what I can do to improve for two weeks before they kicked me. I know how this guy is feeling. Making you feel dumb so they can get away with doing shady shit only to find you have been lied to. I think the raid community needs to chill out.

Even so, I always had it at the back of my mind though. It was the saltedxiv drama where the owner was gaslighted by Rin.

Guy joins our group as a drg right before the Alexander Savages came out in HW. Convinced everyone else to let him take my OT position; I got shifted into being our melee DPS, despite the fact that I said several times, "I'm bad at melee DPS." Still, a couple of friends were in the group, so I spent literal hours on a training dummy trying to improve myself so that I would at least not drag everyone down. Spent every raid night for the next two weeks having him lecturing/insulting me about my DPS and mech mistakes (I did mess up a bit, not being used to melee DPS) between pulls. Was told outside of those raid nights by others that my DPS was good enough, even if it wasn't the best so they didn't know what he was complaining about. My friends in the raid even told me that some of the mech mistakes he'd been complaining about weren't even my fault. Finally, one raid night, our whm made a mech mistake that wiped the group. The tank immediately blamed me and began yelling and cussing. The others finally calmed him down, but it was the last straw for me. I left the instance, left the party, and messaged the leader. "I can't do this anymore, I'm literally in tears right now and that's not right. So, just so you know, I'm officially leaving the static as of this second." I've not actively raided on my own since. I offered to sub for friends' raid groups from Stormblood onward, but that's been it for me. I already have a strong case of anxiety and my experience just increased that further, sadly.

I’ve had a 77 (low purple, almost blue) on a run with 0 rotational mistakes (and a skipped cachexia 2 ofc) on p6s and then another run which was a pink parse with one or two minor mistakes. It’s extremely unlikely but it is definitely possible and requires you to have had horrible luck.
