SE Forgot to Add YouTube as a Requirement on Game Packaging/System Requirements?

What in the world is going on with our community?! It is nothing like FFXI, too many aggressive and rude players. .___.

It will taper off soon enough. XIV is riding high on the tail end of a WoW xpac. Everyone is bored with Pandaria, they have done everything, and all the wings have been released. So, they are here, and scattered in some other random mmos. WoD is coming, though, and when it hits a good chunk of the playerbase (especially those who tend to be the more aggressive\mean players) will leave.

I say give it some time and report back in late December when the community has shifted again and stabilized to be more of what we remembered from XI (not that the community there was anything to brag about, but it certainly wasn't the cesspool we see in XIV today).

SE could help out by not introducing systems of exclusivity and battles that just test your internet connection instead of your knowledge of the game, but I don't see anything short of another mass exodus waking them up. So, just wait until December when all that is left are people who genuinely enjoy the game and see it as their long-term home.

You sure as hell don't forget some of the experiences when you're playing an MMO designed as an actual world and the people in it are actual inhabitants rather than us just..being there lagging up cities till people go into an instance. People always love to say 'rose colored glasses' or 'nostalgia', but I had more memorable moments in 1.x than I did in ARR honestly..and it quite honestly is due to how the community tends to be.

You may or may not run into that same person again due to server grouping, but when you do and remember them, oh boy the salt that makes the run feel that much more "let me get my item and go" A lot of times in XI I like when some raids got drawn out because i loved the location and seeing OTHER people doing their own raids within same area even if it's competition for some pop items.
