I'm really getting tired of the entire general discussion board being filled with questions regarding preordering the new expansion. I, for one, am still playing ARR, and would like to be able to at least see some threads relating generally to it.
It was great how quickly the "Gold saucer" subforum was implemented. Can we do the same with "Heavensward speculation"?
Can we please get a sub-forum for "Heavensward discussion"?

I would love this, but sadly I don't see it happening. If it does get implemented great! but if not it wouldn't surprise me. I think its a bit too early for a sub forum for it and lets be honest it will just be full of when is it coming out threads and that would be waste of a sub forum xD Also it will just be topics with information people already know.

Considering that there are like 100+ threads about Preordering, New Jobs, New Areas, new relics ect IT would be nice to cut it out... THere are so many crap and repeat threads that I can barely wade through them all...

It'll die down eventually...it's only because its "pre order" day.
Besides if that's all it takes to get a sub forum can we please have a sub forum for "trolls" and also "whiners" .... -

this is general discussion, it's for anything about FF14 you can't tell people what they are allowed to talk about here.

See what happens when you give in to these whiners mods? This guy complained about gold saucer threads and they got moved. Now he thinks anything he doesn't want to see should be moved. Give an inch and they'll take a mile.

The general forum is for any discussion not covered by another forum. If they make a place for it, it won't be general anymore.

The problem is not simply preorder threads. The expansion is THREE MONTHS away and we have so many speculation threads on the subject...

Kind of pointless since in a few months Heavensward will be FFXIV. Gold Saucer is an entire full fledged feature with many different topics thatll likely be in the game and discussed for a long time.
Usually theres a few threads here and there related to Heavensward. So what if there are more of them soon after they announce something or the start of pre-orders (and broken website no less). No need for a whole new temporary sub-forum just because someone cant take a few extra threads for a couple of days. -

Oh heavens! People are taking about the expansion! I won't stand for this I say! I demand more threads about butt sliders!
-
03-16-2015, 10:27 PMTerrini
It would be nice to actually be able to find the existing threads about butt sliders but we can't due to people constantly making new threads asking questions that have already been or cannot be answered.

Guuuuuuuuurl.
Use the search function. -

Considering Heavensward is still XIV, no.
-
03-17-2015, 12:35 AMAshkendorEr. Except that it's been going on for weeks. There have been so many threads about the expansion.Quote:

While a plausible idea in theory, this will likely not happen, especially in the way you envision it. IF (and that is a colossal if) they do create a sub-forum for it, people will still flood the General Discussion page with all things Heavensward, simply because they know that GD is the quickest, easiest, and best place to voice yourself if you wish to be heard. While only a select few monitor specific sub-forums, nearly everyone has their eye on the GD forum, so you can bet that SE is devoting more manpower to this area of the forum to accommodate that.

03-17-2015, 12:49 AMTheMunimaiI've seen the odd post about release dates, and general inquiries about airships and the what not but nothing to same extent as today.Quote:

If we are making new forums there has to be a " please fix the SMN " forum lol since there's about a billion threads for it

Funny thing is if you removed all the stuff from general I see people complaining about in this thread, general discussion would be practically completely dead.

Honestly, as I said, the sheer quantity of heavensward threads is getting ridiculous. SE has been pretty good about making sure future content is spoilered in the past, why are we literally getting flooded with future content now?
its a major topic. I agree. its major enough that it warrants a little bit of moderation, to keep it from blotting out any discussion about CURRENT ffxiv.
