most of the trolls are white knights that have admitted they haven't played in months.

You are using the term "white knight" entirely wrong. Technically, because the "white knights" act to "rescue the damsel in distress", they would be part of the XIV *defense force* in this case, completely opposite the trolls. By definition, trolls attempting to destroy the game would not be, in any shape or form, "white knights".

no i am not. white knights troll people on the forums. if they say they do not like something the white knight directly attacks them telling them to quit the game and use profanity filled statements to do so. this is trolling. they are the defense force of the game by attacking people personally, therefore, trolling them.

I see what you're saying, but the "white knight" is diametrically opposed to the "troll". I agree with your overall idea, just the wrong terms are being used.

The thing is, FFXIV's white knights are doing both white knighting and trolling simultaneously. They are defending what is obviously not perfect, and also attacking those who say otherwise. They believe they are rescuing the game from destruction by doing so, or at the very least want others to believe their intent is rescuing the game.

I have witnessed a couple of these kinds of people who did return after months of inactivity after 1.18, say everything is perfect, and bash everyone who has any kind of issue with the patch.

That isn't trolling.

I think bashing and personally attack people for having an opinion is called trolling.

If it helps keep the non-players out of the forums, I'm all for it. I think they could do for a few more restrictions too.

Cant wait for the 17th
