Fair enough, just seems like a weird way to prove it, but maybe that's just me. There are certain trolls who have admitted in the past to spending money on their account just to post on the forums, so I'm not sure how great of a metric that is.

Tbh, they probably don't even read the entirety of the post that's disagreeing with you before liking it either, which is equally sad.

Basically the same thing that used to/still does happen to Aveyond in the rare instances where he still bothers to post here.

I really don't want any of this trouble. I'll leave ya'll be and stick to playing at my own pace. This place was a big mistake. I don't know how the people online in the game can be so welcome but the forums can be such a bunch of crazies.

Yeah - sadly, there is quite a difference between the in-game community and the forum one. I guess, as has been discussed already, forumites generally lean toward being a little more cynical and perhaps negative.

And when you take into consideration the number of posts made trolls pretending to be newbies of late being as frequent as they have been, I tend to think that this was a really bad case of unfortunate timing.

Proof the bullying works and is good.

My question is what kind of FC tells a new player that the job stone isn't important??? Like, that's the majority of a job, what the heck lmao

Im sorry you had that experience here. It echoes my own experiences a lot. Just remember, the number of crazies on this forum seems like it could be as low as single digits sometimes, while in game, hundreds of thousands if not 7 figures of people are right there with you, loving the game. I come here cause im old hat at defending things that are unpopular and I love this game, and there is nothing the crazies can do to change my mind about it. But I recommend maybe avoiding the forums at least until you are finished with MSQ.

ugh, I'm sorry you had a bad experience. As much as it's not for me, I would check out the subreddit for ffxiv at https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/ . You'll have a much better experience. It's not as much discussion, but it's more positive than here if that's what you're looking for.

Anyways, I've been busy so I wasn't able to follow up on the housing design thing, but later this week I'll be available, I'll try to remember to hit you up and see if you still wanna.

Like you said, there are consequences to being regularly abrasive on a forum. For many it’s not really what you are saying, but how you go about saying it. Regularly posting snippy and disparaging replies to a variety of people will lose an audience.

Except the difference here is how people respond to Storm and are so blinded by "oh em gee Storm dared to post something" and completely miss his point/not even acknowledge his point. It's happened a few times, even outside this thread. If you don't like someone because they were mean on an online forum, fine. Ignore them, don't engage with them, and ffs don't repeatedly say you have them on ignore. If you're going to respond to them, respond how you expect to be treated. I've had issues with Storm here and there, but that doesn't mean I'm going to suddenly be childish whenever I interact with him, ESPECIALLY when he makes an objectively good point on something.

That's great for you, but for others like myself, respect is a two-way street. Certain people are quite aggressive here, are typically first to go on the offensive on numerous occasions. So they reaped what they sowed if people ignore and don't care what they have to say now.

As much as I appreciate you for doing what you're doing, you really are wasting your time, but thank you : p and for housing you can poke me in game at the end of the week whenever I still have an NA char I'll come take a look at what you've done
