Regarding the crisis in Japan and the FF14 forums.

Japan needs our love right now. YES.

SE needs a break and we should give them space. YES.

The people in Japan need to focus on more important things. YES.

I'm just saying that that doesn't mean that we are not allowed to express anything even slightly negative about the game or the company.

Jeez, do any of you guys even read.. What I'm ranting on about is that people just see some post with some negativity regarding SE and FF14, and they immediately counter with EARTHQUAKE, TSUNAMI!! STFU! TACTLESS!

If I think they should work on resizing the monster sizes, I will say so.. I know they won't be able to work on anything at all for a few months.. but that doesn't mean we should just forget about talking about the game.. good things AND BAD.

Nobody cares if you want to give feedback or talk negatively about the game. That's fine. It'd be nice if it were constructive negative feedback, but nobody's losing any sleep over shit talking.

It is however insensitive of anyone to say something like "well if they put global servers everywhere, this kind of shit wouldn't have had to happen and now I can't play my game." What you're saying is true enough, but it's a more than a bit insensitive to say it AT THIS SPECIFIC TIME. They don't need "I told you so" right now.

Now if anyone is preventing any actual debating on other game issues and using the earthquake as an excuse, well then that's gotta stop as well.
