Why complain?

[Tsukino_Kaji]

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.

Complainers complaining. It's the only way they no how to go about things.
And the irony of this post complaining about complainers is palpable. lol

So essentially the OP is complaining that he has a problem about other people complaining?

The hypocrisy of many posts in this forum has actually become a source of entertainment for me while the servers are down. I just log in and immediately can tell which threads have people posting whose heads are about to explode.

I think he was just trying to ask question and say people should enjoy the game more then complaining so much.

I can understand for such a concern since I am guilty of complaining but sometimes it is necessary evil sort of speak.

like hoping for change, be nice to have more room for gear so it dont take so long to job change.
some basic things like that should be understandable.

Plus he might not understand why some people compain about some issues. I know it can be confusing to see someone compain about every aspect about the game and still play.

I can understand for such a consern since I am guilty of compaining but sometimes it is nessery evil sort of speak.

some basic things like that should be understanble.

sometimes it is to vent bad luck like I said on page 1.

I think Komori was making a statment they don't mean. I was only trying to explain to them what I can personally handle if some nerf was done to abyssea.

I wasn't referring to this poster in particular. It's in a ton of threads.

Personally, I think why some, not all people, are getting mad about the complainers is that they themselves are anxious about when the servers will come up. So, they are in the forum trying to get a fix for the FFXI addiction without thinking about their own impatience and addiction. Then someone makes a post about when they will get their FFXI fix. And, it reminds them that they need a fix, which they are trying to not think about. And, what do they do? They take that energy/anxiety and shoot it at the other person.

It's not what happens every time. But, I think we are seeing a lot of it.
