Off Topic Forum

[Xzen]

Actually all you have to do is sign up for an account which anyone can do, you don't have to have the game to be able to make an account or post here. So in an essence anyone with an email can sign up here too, this forum is just specific to FFXIV unlike the others that allow you to talk about anything including the game.

So why can't we have all that here aside from the fact that there is no off topic forum? Why should we have to go somewhere else?

Because SE made this as a forum to discuss FFXIV. If they wanted Off Topic here they would have put it as an option from the beginning. They wanted this to be a place where players could come and give their opinions about the game and how we can improve it. Not to talk about which cake mix is better.

Welcome to Forum: General Discussion!
The purpose of this forum is for players to discuss various topics on FINAL FANTASY XIV with other players.

Maybe they were unaware of the problems not having an off topic forum would cause.

I personally like this forum having a purpose and not being a random jumble of whatever people feel like posting. If people do post something off topic it's usually taken care of quickly. This is about FFXIV, thats what its for thats why its here and it's nice. If they do make a Off Topic area I probably won't even go to it because I am here to make the game better. Anyway you seem to be going in a circular logic now so I'm just gonna stop posting and bumping this thread.

Actually there's no circular logic about it. It's kind of straight forward. No one had put anything forward to back up a reason for not having off topic other than "because they didn't put one in." That's fine if you or anyone else don't go to Off Topic forums. That's the point. All the topics you don't care about will be in one place and easy to avoid. You wouldn't even have to look at them and the harmless people that want to talk about baseball or what ever will have a place to talk about it.
