Are you even trying at this point? I want to be entertained, not have my intelligence insulted.

I was just waiting for the eventual blow up. I wonder if ban evasion is against the forum ToS here?

If it was our favorite forum troll would have been nuked by now, so doubtful....

Well this devolved into...something. The 19th can't come soon enough.

Wait is this that person that was on about that fairy stuff with a Lalafell avatar from a few months back?

The man’s - or woman’s - turned into the Joker real quick. This speech is giving ‘we live in a society’ energy rn.

Just trying to properly understand the PlushyprincessMusa lore

.. Its not a joke and the game doesnt have playable fairy which is bullshit

I am a fairy always..

All i wanted was to say my thoughts,wishs,suggestions without having to deal with this but you humans always do this including ppl who call themsrkf my friends betraying me because they dont understand how i feel about thinfs and what i think

Its not stupid its not fantasy its real its what is in my heart i share it how i feel and think and u .. U stupid creatures that i hate ways do this your all the same.. Y do u stupid humans have to force this with ur bs and cruelity

Weird, trolly/desperate attention seeking aside: Solid no, no thanks.

The Devs have been on record fairly regularly that there will be NO systems for grading player skill level. This is not meant to be a hard game.

While improvement should be applauded, players do not need to improve as long as they're clearing the content.

This is meant to be Disneyland, where even your old grandpa can hang out and have a good time without feeling left out, even if he doesn't do the big roller coasters (aka hard raids).

Also, on a personal note: Take a breath. Get some coffee. You're lashing out at people and are getting upset because people are calling out your BS.

You're not a fairy, but you might be a troll. And not the fantasy type.

.. Humanity. You mean humanity.


we can all see this has gone beyond reasonable discourse and is either severely antagonizing someone who has issues, or is playing right into a troll narrative.

There have been death wishes and statements of intended harassment. This is plenty to report and ignore.

I.E: Plz stahp.

So you want it to take even longer than it already does?

Because that's all that'll do. Hell, the person I want to commend 90% of the time has already left the instance.

What is happening here?

There isn't enough coffee on the planet for this.

It's someone that wants to be banned from the forums possible the game... Between the death threats, physical harm, complete disregard for others and TOS, I'm still amazed that the tread hasn't been taken down.

There is if you add Kahlua :)

(Also if anyone wondered I'm still here; no fairies have, in fact, come to my house..though my cat was chasing shadows a few hours ago... SpOoKy!)

No thanks. Do not want. Sounds like the perfect way to get people to stop doing Duty Roulettes.

Except that the purpose of a commendation for most players is to let someone know how much they enjoyed and appreciated running with them. For you, the measure of that is high performance. For many players, that is not the case at all. The other day I ran a duty with several players who spent the majority of the run discussing glamours and how to get them. I know there's no way that they were googling for gear pieces while making significant contributions to the fight. That was OK. Even though the fights took a little longer, they got done, and I still got my tomestones. At the end of the run, a player said, "Thanks for finding the glamour for me. You definitely got my comm!" Was I resentful? Absolutely not. That player made the run fun for the other guy, and that's what mattered to him. If you're not getting commendations despite performing your best, consider being a little friendlier. Remember that it's a popularity contest, not a performance review. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I agree, but I'd take it further and say that this is true of any pay-to-play game. This isn't the NBA, the NFL, or FIFA, where fans are paying money to watch the best of the best play a game. This is the exact opposite. Fans are paying money to play an accessible game. The minute developers lose sight of this and generate a system that actively makes players feel bad for lacking skill, their game degrades. Just look at how well Wildstar went over or at how WoW is declining right now for cases in point. Being a good player is already inherently rewarding. They get stuff done faster, they get the admiration of their peers, and their range of accessible content is broader. If that's not enough for a good player, and they feel like everyone else should be made to feel bad for not being as good as them, then I'd say that's a personality flaw on the part of the good player, not a deficiency in game design.

Sometimes I consider quitting these forums for good, but totally insane things like this just keep pulling me back. The FFXIV community is a people-watchers paradise, honestly.

At everyone else's expense. There's more to the tank not holding aggro than just giving the healer more to do. Casters are going to have their skills interrupted, melee players are going to miss their positionals, and AoEs that should have been pointed into innocuous corners of the room are going to be unavoidable. All because you feel that your attention span is too limited to endure healing normally. It's ironic that you're asking for a performance review system to entice players to improve while you're also claiming to go out of your way to make other players play bad to challenge yourself. If you really felt that way, then you would be fine with a system that tolerates bad players because it would give you more of a challenge. That's why your statements are coming off as elitist rather than constructive.

Trying to put any ranking in content that, to begin with, isn't challenging in any way is completely pointless and, poorly implement, can force people to go out of their way or play less efficiently in order to achieve high rankings, wasting everyone's time for a meaningless ego medal. Not to mention commendations aren't meant to be an award for skill, but for overall behaviour.

The only changes to commend I would make are being able to commend people even after they exit duty and lock mentorship behind clearing synched content, not just an amount of duty completed and commendation receiveds because anyone can get those given time.

Performance reviews sound an awful lot like DPS meters....

Genuinely shocked this thread hasn't been scrubbed yet.

It's not antagonistic, it's reality. Logs at least demonstrate objective reality by offering actual numbers for things that matter. I never proposed a scoring system so I don't see why you would bring that up. If you think me saying "commendations are pointless" is antagonizing you then maybe you care too much about commendations.

Same, how can a thread with death threats, violence, abuse and against TOS still exist...
Specifically after the TOS update where all the above are forbidden and warrant a penalty...
Whoever should be enforcing the will of the Devs is still asleep...
