Yup. Ol' grey internet ain't what she used to be.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, these forums are excellent. They provide hours and hours of entertainment. I laugh 90% of the time I'm reading them, the other 10% is "cocos a$$ in my face" posts that are confusing, but I end up laughing anyway.

agreed. i can't tell you how many times, each of the ls's i have been in over the last year+, have sat and laughed at the rude responses to simple questions. i know many of them have joined conversations just to stir up arguments because they got to be too funny to let die. the amount of hate coming from both sides has been pure gold as far as reading pleasure has been concerned.

lol Ok i'll take my cue from the others and just read and be entertained, I'm just frustrated that this is where the feedback and suggestions for the game are coming from ><

oh i agree it's not good, but when anyone posts any feedback no matter what it is there is a flame fest from either side. i've heard many great ideas in game, but they would never make this forum because they don't like to be attacked for any type of suggestion.

i've just learned to follow a few posters on here because they keep me laughing at them. they also show me where to go for the post with the biggest amount of arguments because they are right in the middle of each of them.

It's definitely fun to stir the pot here. There are definitely some legitimate posts with great ideas, at least the reps weed through the BS and can pitch ideas to the devs.

Lol no no no... the good posts that recommend stuff for this game are in the place where they are supposed to be.. just people rather focus on general discussion.

lol no no no suggestions get the same response from the people on the forums. it's rude and pure comedy to watch. you do realize general discussion about ffxiv would encompass suggestions too right? oh wait no, no you don't. most people put a suggestion in general discussion to get a general feel of what others think about it. whether you want to admit it or not it is covered by the general tag. it is for posting a general comment and getting feedback.

If you're in your teens or whatever then ok I understand you're going to act this way and its something that needs to be accepted, but the fact that (mentally) that age group seems to be representing a vast majority of this game is what worries and disappoints me.

So you open with a sarcastic statement about how this community isn't meeting the standards of some other group of people and I retort in the same manner and you resort to some juvenile retort about my age?

Man, your logic is amazing.

Ehmm... my opening 'sarcastic statement' wasnt sarcasm? I truly think a community like this will dig this game its grave even if it does end up being completely amazing.

I dont remember comparing this community to some other community... but... no I have no idea where you got that from. I just stated I completely understand BlueGartr (and apparently most other forums) when they make fun of this 'community' now.

This community isnt meeting the standards of normal every day adult maturity. I am so, so, so sorry if that hurts your feelings, here let me hold your hand. /holdhand I am so truly very sorry that I hurt your feelings, really, had I known you would be hurt so insanely badly about my comment about your immaturity, I would have never said it. Please please forgive me.

Since, its clearly not logic stating someone acting/behaving the way a teenager would is acting/behaving like a teenager. Damn I am so illogical. halp now I r teenager I am be hurting mai own feelangz cuz bein a teenagur is liek sow baaaad it make me mad wen peepul commant on mai aeg.

(There that was my first post as "Part of this community" how was it?)
