It didn't work. Not sure why. I'll continue to log in and pay for this game until I convince everyone I'm right.

Maybe it would work better if it were rewritten as edgy teenage fanfic.
We should go back to baiting people into heated discussions over LGBTQ issues for hundreds of pages while moderators delete multiple pages but never just lock the topic, resulting in an endless cycle of arguments.
Good times, good times :)
My favorite game is Myst, and Final Fantasy XIV is not Myst, therefore Final Fantasy XIV is a bad game.
And it's definitely dying, too, just check out this chart:

FFXIV is a dead game and nobody plays it. I know this from experience, because I haven't played since 2019 but spend hours every day debating on the FFXIV subreddit and forums.
Even Asmongold has stopped playing. If the game were actually as good as the Toxic Positivity Brigade claims it to be, why is he and every other streamer not still playing, hmmmmmmm???????
FFXIV doesnt even exist. Its just all aether in the online space and the biggest gaslight of the MMO world.
FFXIV is just a rumour. You can't prove anything.
i really hate this games community, because they dont validate any of my opinions, when i post threads attacking them, they actually have the nerve to angry at me instead of blindly nodding to everything i say. i dont understand.. my mommy told me i was special and allways gets me whatever i want.. why doesnt anybody else
I bet none of you have even finished this game yet!

And do you think you're any better for making your own answering bait posts solely to antagonise a few known trolls who are clearly after causing trouble and contributing to muddying the whole discussion in petty point scoring again?
They thrive on attention, so why give it to them?
Only OP knows why they made this post, but there are reasons to make a thread like this that aren't aimed at the trolls themselves, but rather at the community that is tired of the trolls. Being a member of said population, I appreciated this thread as a place to vent about a common experience we all share in a way that doesn't feed an actual troll post.
It's still feeding into a pointless conflict that pats the ego of the worst of both sides and stirs up more useless mud-flinging and back-and-forth answer-and-respond threads, prolonging the drama and inevitably giving the garbage the trolls post the air they crave in the first place. It's inevitably also somehow always the same people doing it, who have admitted on more than one occasion the entertainment they derive from all the mess. It's just hypocrisy.
Careful Renalt. No jokes allowed it looks like.
the toxic positivity is terrible here!
Realistically speaking, I'd be surprised if this thread moved the needle. I agree that the trolls would starve without attention, but there are more than enough people who already give them more than enough attention in their own threads. The trolls wouldn't stop if this thread didn't exist, nor do I expect them to post more frequently due to its existence.
And personally, I don't see this as feeding any sort of conflict because this thread is very clearly just mocking transparent troll behavior, rather than genuinely held beliefs. And at least from the comments so far, it seems like everyone understands that and nobody's genuinely making arguments about whether the game is good or bad. To an extent beyond most other threads I've seen in these forums, there doesn't really seem to be any conflict here. My personal read is that rolling our collective eyes at troll behavior is an activity that players from all walks of life can get behind and unite behind.
You may perceive it as harmless, because you haven't been part of these forums for very long. Unfortunately, there's a long and rather storied history behind certain users and their part in all of this, which is what I was referencing in my other post.
It's the same people on both sides fanning each other's flames to their own ends, and attempting to remove accountability for adding to the mess the forums are in by claiming it's a "joke" is a cop-out. It all adds to the fire and has an impact, but the truth is people enjoy the drama and like to stir the pot while pretending otherwise for their own reasons. OP in particular was one of the worst for it.
Responding to childish behaviour with your own immaturity isn't the answer, it just encourages more of the same and I shouldn't have to explain why "because other people do it" is a poor mindset to take.
