He got nuked fast from the XIV forums becasue there were people like him there.
Almost everybody gets nuked fast from the FFXIV forums, because people are honest and don't sugar coat their opinions more often than not. But even that is becoming less true these days as there are fewer official posts. I got banned from the XIV forums for using a certain strongly inappropriate word to describe what I thought of a certain bad idea (Bizzarely in spite of this they never moderated the actual post... ?????). Since I have restrained the potty mouth around here, I thus haven't gotten in trouble since.

I already addressed the rest of the silliness in that quoted comment (for lack of an appropriate word), so I'm not going to do so again. There is one spot we agree and that's SE being a terrible company (with a lot of great talent working for them). I just disagree with all the "boost FFXIV ruin FFXIV" stuff. Because everything is simply running its course with SE being a business and businesses doing business things. FFXIV is reaching the latter part of its lifespan and its support will gradually decrease, probably starting with the next expansion. PAX East had FFXIV badge lanyards the last 5 times or so, this year it was FFXVI lanyards. Eventually just like FFXI, FFXIV will be a thing that simply exists and generates free money while SE moves on to its Next Big Thing.
