Should I even go back to FFXI?

[Jei]

Considering, considering, hmm... having friends is nice, but kinda pointless in the sense that the majority of the time I will probably be partying up with complete strangers anyhow. Hehhhh... going to consider all these "arguments" you fellas put forth. But anyhow, it's time for work so I'll see you all later.

Partying with strangers is not the point to not have friends. Because 90% of the time you won't party with your friends anyway.

For me, having friends mean I have someone to talk to and rely on when I need help. Talking and chatting is 1 way to entertain myself during the long tiring hours of partying. Or sometimes if I just want to log in and chill out, chatting with LS friends was what kept me entertained.

You won't need help 24/7 but when you need it, you need it.
