What I am about to mention just haunts me at times. I don't understand it, and I hope someone can shed some light on the matter.
Why is it that I can not go a day playing FF without seeing someone complain about SE? FF is a retreat from the real world for me. It's a great way for me to relax at home after my family is asleep and I'm able to jump into a virtual realm to escape real life matters.
Such an example is something like "I didn't get the drop I wanted. The drop rate is too low. THANKS SE. I HATE THIS GAME.". Seriously? This guy is constantly complaining about things like this, yet he still PAYS for the service? You know, if someone just quit because of this, that's more rational. However people will continue to play day after day, just to complain.
Call me old fashioned, but a game is intended to be fun. It's just that I get such a huge drag from seeing so many players that complain on a regular basis. I enjoy the challenge and hard-work that goes into obtaining something that you want, even if that challenge is monotonous and requires a large amount of effort. I totally understand getting frustrated, I'm 0/100+ on both Leaping Lizzy and the Valkurm Emperor, but this seems like a different matter alltogether.
TL;DR
Play and have fun, or GTFO.

Addiction, getting stuff of chest ( like anger vent but doesn't really mean it), or hope it is changed for some reason.

As in they don't have enough to complain about in real life, so they do it in game?

as much as I do agree with you I don't think it is a good thing to make threads to discuss people's behavior in the forum... you are calling for a troll thread.

Bad day syndrome. Didn't go his way in RL, so he logs on, hoping to have a good time, only to find the day just got worse.

Why open threads that will most likely lead to complaining?

Human nature.
People can be unemployed for years begging for a job, they get one then a month in they start complaining about the hours, no pay increases etc.
No matter what they do people will find something to complain about, case in point "abyssea is too easy".(0)
03-19-2011 03:53 AM #9Guess if it was a consistent rate, it might be different. But when you can be passing through and the NM is up and happen to claim it before the guy that's been camping it all weekend and you go 1/1 on it....it's just adding insult to injury I guess.
1/1 Leaping boots
1/1 Mary's horn
1/ who knows how many times I killed VE... but I got that @#$@#$ hairpin eventually.
I think what is REALLY frustrating is when they went and made R/E versions of the items everyone was fighting over, they didn't tweak the drop rate. PCA, VE Hairpin, and leaping boots are good examples. You can't sell them in the AH, so why are they such a low drop rate? It's bad enough getting the NM to spawn. There are some other items that drop 100%, and some that seem to be 1% or less at times. It's just out of whack.

Why bother posting replies in a thread where someone is wanting to have a legitimate discussion? There are going to be complaints in a majority of the threads in this forum. I don't want any hostility, why is this so hard to grasp?
