Ableism and elitism from the hardcore community is damaging FF14

TitanMen was the 2nd account of a forum troll. The more known of his accounts.

Were on account like... 10 or 11 at least now.

They all have the same post style, the same naming scheme (generally), all have 1 combat 80, all crafters to 80, and miner and botanist, but not fisher.

I don't know how this would help the PlayStation folks, but the PC gamers have an option to use the controller config stuff and go with https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessori...ive-controller as a hub of sorts to make a controller that would work for you.

Thank you, I wear it with pride

Do you actually play the game or just post crap all day?

Gamers can be toxic in general and it's the worst when it comes to accessibility. I used to work at a gaming company and the offensive shit I've heard from high-level decision-makers was really shocking. "How visible is the disability? We don't want players to think this game is just for disabled people" at my suggestion of including a player with a disability who was singing the praises about the game in an ad. Pretty sure, I ended up getting laid off because of my advocacy for making our games legally compliant with accessibility laws...

How many times did they keep using the same buzzwords? I lost count.

Boosting helps players with social anxiety to skip to the part of the game where it is only necessary to play with NPCs.

You can't even bait properly. There are no trusts for trials and they're required throughout the msq while lvling.

Yet people respond 77 pages for them. Or 8+ like this will have.

See how this one will have aaabout 20+

If people dont want these baits to continue, stop responding and move on. Bait is success even if its 100 replies of "oh hey bait again".

That sounds perfectly reasonable to me tbh. Same reason for if I see, let's say, toddlers as the main focus in an advertisement, I'd assume the product is not for me.
