You might not understand it, but think of it like watching a movie with someone who has already seen the movie but it's your first time seeing it. Even if they're not being annoying you can't escape the knowledge that they already know what's going to happen so its a little less enjoyable.Â
We want to level with other people who are having that first time sense of wonder, learning curve and less exclusivity even if unintentional.Â
Non-legacy needs a roleplay server.
Actually, I don't know if the movie analogy is very accurate. Most of the game's content, especially the story, is as new to us as it is to anyone else. It'd be more like seeing the sequel to a movie that you've only read the synopsis of, but your friend has watched the whole movie. The movie itself is new to you both, but the person who saw the first movie knows the characters and the themes of the story better.
I won't fault you if that's something that you'd rather not have to deal with, but I feel for those who are like you, but will be joining the game in the future. They won't have a server that's brand new for them to start on. If going to a server where people have already been playing is so bad that there are people who can't tough it out for a few months until they're experienced too, this means they're not likely going to want to join us on FFXIV at all. It's kind of sad to think about.
I knew that would be the predictable response the second after I posted. A better reason is that there is a group of people who already know each other and a group of people yet to form these relationships. We want to form our own groups organically. We don't want match.com meet ups we want drunk hook ups with like minded strangers at name your watering hole.
