A posting suggesting to community:

Adopt this principle when posting will help all who have to read your posts: KISS

Keep

It

Short

&

Simple

Lets try not to create "walls of text" if you want the devs or anyone else to read it.

Thanks!

That's not what that acronym stands for...

Keep it simple, stupid!

No, people should not adopt that principle. People should say what they need to say to get the job done. If you can't read a so called "wall of text, " then you have a problem with laziness. Some things just can't be made one/two liners.

Wall of text is just a complete slop of words in 1 giant paragraph. A well structured, long post is not a wall of text.

Well, I agree. But a lot of people treat both as the same thing.

Correct, unfortunately 50% of the community don't understand paragraphs, grammar and punctuation.

This is why I think everyone should, at one point in their lives, work as an email support agent. I also enjoy a well-structured and informative post and hate that some people keep making those walls.

I have a better suggestion. People should learn what punctuation marks, sentences, and paragraphs are intended to do. Long posts are often needed to explain a game mechanic or a situation. Posts that read like a kindergartener's essay on what he wants to be when he grows up are not needed and certainly not wanted.

For some people who post here English is a second or third language, and oddly enough, their posts are usually pretty simple to read. I assume this is because they put roughly two seconds of effort into making their posts readable. It's not hard!

I think people need to learn not to butt in on how people type. As their could be reasons for it. Like being disabled. My suggestion to the "community". Is look up the term "game" is. I just had some elitist just walk up to me in game and tell me I play dancer wrong abd that my "misguided ways" need to be "addressed". pretty much acting like their are my saviour and come to rid me of my noob ways.

Though said person never seen me play dancer and got this info from these forums. Then after several times being nice and saying no ty. While also asking for proof of how they are my one of the 2 best dancers on the server. they pretty much call me a lost cause.

Best way, do not speak for everyone. As no one play the game for the same reasons. I play just to have fun and relax I could care less of end game or having the best gear.

Anyway that my two cents and an example of a possible wall of text.

PS. I miss the old days of ffxi, when ppl actually played like as a game.
