:captainpop: Is that one of the PvP-only skills?

Yeah, Glory Slash. It's a cone knockback that also does damage and removes a buff from each target. Also, unlike overpower, it doesn't require a target. Paladins have exclusive access to it.

Although knocking people off cliffs is fun, my favorite use for it is to knock a healer backwards into my murder squad.

This is the biggest thing. Have they released numbers on the active accounts with the Heavensward release? Earlier this year was around 1 million from every SE MMO.

Restricting what trial accounts can do, like preventing them from being able to send friend requests is probably part of it

Also you're probably spending more time in HW Zones and that requires a 50 and a story clear

They released an expansion and you are (presumably) on a fairly populated server.

So you know how it was relatively manageable to make new characters even on high-pop servers back during the pre-expansion boredom lull, but since Heavensward it's tough to make them even if you get up super early in the morning? Granted, we're gradually settling down into pre-patch lull now, but pop overall is still much higher than it was before 3.0.

That means RMT can't rampantly make swarms of new characters either.

They'll still make some, sure. And they can still make them on low-pop servers and pay their $18 to transfer them a few days later if they really want to. And they can still hack accounts of stupid people thinking authenticators aren't worth it, or con other stupid people with promises of leveling their characters for them. So it's not like they won't have any characters to spam with.

But the simple fact that they can't make a new character to spam with, at any time they please, does wonders for the rest of us not having to deal with their spam.

There's also been the Mogstation changes, which boiled down to "poor security was allowing gilsellers to buy accounts without actually purchasing a copy anywhere". Having to actually buy copies through some other service has slowed things down, as well.

Just because a huge amount of white knights roam this forum does that by default mean you guys are right? I can right now get 45 people from my server that feels exactly the same to reply if I really ask them nicely? What will that prove? Will it still be that im assuming im intentionally insulting someone for beeing casual? There is a huge difference of just beeing a casual and a casual but thats for another discussion. Its still a handout you know this game gives handouts so why are you even lying to yourself and me about this part? Ofcourse its a disrespect since you are handing out stuff many players grinded for hard for free to another player base wich by default becomes a "casual" since for some strange reason if you check peoples replies we are all of a sudden hardcore and eliteist who wants this? Your hint doesnt work when you feel disrespected by SE and the Dev team when the player next to you gets the same stuff as you constantly for half the effort.
Its not the fault of the player next to you ofcourse but when the player next to you behaves and acts like they deserve it too thats when stuff is bad and you can clearly see how this handout mentality is accepted by people here. No you shouldnt get the relic for free. You want a relic get it like everyone else no handouts. Want an i200 weapon bad? Save your esoterics and get one want a shiny i200 relic grind it like everyone else no exceptions and thats how it really should have been. You are acting like I want everything in some horizontal progression. I'm asking the dev team to have one thing untouched is it really so hard to ask and demand? So ofcourse I see players as selfish in the replies here. Cause just because someone doesnt seem to have time and thinks they pay for a subscription they should have the same stuff as me and Yoshi P gladly serves it to everyone. So yes again it becomes a disrespect and treating players like this shows it colors eventually don't worry. You can get a huge player market to care about it too. How much you want to bet if you make a petitition online about this and start spreading the word you can get people to sign it? Nothing will happen though cause this is a business its all about money we already know this its just sad that its to the expence of the people who saved this game during the dark ages and the cost of its heart. I welcome you to FFXIV A WoW Communism Reborn 2.0 (still 2.0 since Heavensward is still a reskin) Where you pay for a subscription you get everything like the next guy just wait it out a few months.

Dr Pepper's is the "right" answer, but the default is "Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\screenshots".

It's a good thing to be aware of that "Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn" directory because your hotbars, gearsets, macros, and inventory sort order are also stored in there.

If you want to copy your information from one computer to another and for whatever reason can't use the built-in Backup Tool (like, say, if you're using Windows 10, and clicking Config brings you to a screen describing the various config options but with no way to change them or even leave the screen without killing the launcher), that's the directory you need to copy.

Im 99% sure that just like most of the people that complain about WoW being to easy, this is a person that hasn't actually completed most of the games content. He just assumes that tedium=difficulty and if a person cant suffer as much as he does then he shouldn't be allowed to have the shinnies, even if the person is mechanically better at the game.

Just look at the people still playing wildstar, these aren't people that have any hope of completing the games content, they are just in the game because its tedious as gently caress and that makes them hardcore.

I love this phenomenon. You can find any old post about "raids in this game are too easy", check their character page and oh whaddya know, never even beaten Titan HM, nevermind Turn 1.

I still like that guy from some 'big name' guild that tried FF14, never even made it to 45 but made a lot of posts on the OF about how lovely the 8-player raids (that he never saw) were so bad compared to glorious 24/40/whatever player raids.
