Square enix, your forum design is terrible. I've lost 5 posts due to this shoddily designed forum layout.

I had some epic 6 paragraph post ready the first two times. But I really cant be bothered writing it out again. What I am goign to say simply is:

Set the example of the community you would like to see.

If you want to see a friendly community that is focused on interactions with new and old players, then be that way. But 'cussing' and being an elitest jerk will only end you up on eveyrones black lists. Guess what? most of those -new- players will end up as geared as you by the time 2.1 comes out. And -guess- whose groups you wont be in?
