I think it is this also: Many of the NIN players are people who quit for six months and resubbed for patch 2.4. So while the rest of us have kept in practice by playing continuously, they've gotten rusty. Rusty + new job without fully understood mechanics + players who are unfamiliar with the latest content since they quit a while ago = current state of ninja.
It'll get better once they all unsub again next month.
Ha, no offense to all you loyal players, but I returned, jumped right into Levi EX only to grumble about how bad everyone still is at dodging.
Nothing's changed from 2 months ago when I stopped playing. Nothing is
new about players standing in overly-telegraphed moves. Of all the games I play, FFXIV just has the worst players. The fact that you still can't DF a Titan EX without both healers falling off, and players are simply too-assed to avoid using stun moves (drgs...) when there's a stun rotation and effing up the resistances....
You see bad returning players, I see the same players that have been here since Titan HM.
Edited, Nov 10th 2014 11:08am by Louiscool Well allot of the good players are threw most of the content and dont come back so you run into what you are seeing..
This game is breeding bad players.. Basically a new player learns nothing because he or she is carried through everything..
I'm not a new player. Up to the time I stopped playing, I was clearing content as it was released, got a relic in the second week, etc. These "good" players were just as bad. Every single time someone died, it was lag.
Yet somehow, magically, I am always, without fail, the last person standing on that column, or on that boat.

Dodging aoe's to me has little to do with skill though.. So many cant because of lag.. I experienced it bad on titan HM for a long time. I figured out what was causing the lag and fixed it and had it good for a while and now with ATT starting to have issues like Verizon customers do with FFXIV. Now during periods I cant do anything..
Lag doesn't cause you to make bad decisions. I've had lag happen to me before and didn't die. You know why? Because every fight is rinse and repeat predictable. If you know the pattern, you are moving before you get targeted.
And how does this explain every other primal EX, or even ST runs and coil where people see a giant orange flashing box and decide not to move?
No, I'm sorry.. Lag could be effecting you, it's not effecting
every single person to fall off ever Edited, Nov 10th 2014 1:17pm by Louiscool
