Well I can tell you that these noobs/retards/morons/other negative terms you can think of didn't just spring up over night. From what I can tell they have always been around since the early years of this game the problem is actually the players who were good and knew what they were doing either were forced to leave due to one reason or another or just left because the game quit being fun for them. I think the reason mostly for this increase of retarded behavior is that now the morons of the game are a growing majority due to the lack of the better players and the increase or return of the retards.
I don't know if others would agree with me or not but I guess that is the point of the flame boards is to throw in your two bits and argue with others but any who back to my reasoning. Personally I think that the rise of the retards is mostly due to the fact that the game changed from being a hard long tough grind to 75 that taught us the players how to use X job to it's best potential to a soft mushy easy climb from 1-75 that teaches you nothing.
From what I could tell this change started with the Campaign system. Granted it is a nice way to solo up some EXP while looking for a party it also takes away from players learning the skills they need to play on a level that is more accepted to veteran players. Of curse this wasn't imo the worse thing that was done in creating the pile of crud that seems to be taking over the game. Another change which was another step towards this change was the introduction of the Fields of Valor System. Again much like the campaign system with some minor differences but essentially the exact same thing just with a different name. Now again this is my opinion but the final nail on the coffin for the good players and the shinning doorway for the shittyness we seem to see more on a daily bases is the Level Sync System. At a first glance it seemed like an alright system a system that would allow more people to play together but in actuality it was just the chance that the retarded masses of noobs have been waiting for to make a quick easy break for 75 drawing on things like FoV Qufim pts, SNM burn pts, and the perpetual bird pts. Again it's my opinion that because of this system that the retarded players of old and new returned.
Course I know SE made these changes so that their company could get higher revenue by attracting new player or players who thought the game was too hard and left. I'm not sure if others will agree with me or not but personally I thing that we would off been much better off if the game still had it's ways of weeding out players like it use to compared to now where they can just find ways around the hardships that were placed in the game that use to weed out these players.
I'm sorry if I managed to get off topic if I did but I just felt like this had to be said.
Thank you in advance for reading this post.
