Well I would hope nobody stopped playing just because there were a bunch of asshats running around. With popularity comes all kinds of players unfortunately, and FFXIV for better and worse has over 2 million players.

honestly, I can't stand the thought of having to watch videos for any bit of content of the game, as it takes me out of the game, which no game developer should ever let happen IMO. What I'm saying though is that it's a two-way street. I also want to play the game my way, but I know at some point I'm going to have to relent in some way, because we are playing a massively multiplayer game.

Anyway, yes, I got off point responding to a point someone else made.
