We Really Need To Talk About The State And Path Of FFXIV

[Sigma-Astra]

my goldfish died this morning

how could raiders do this to my poor goldfish

those damn raiders

We all told the goldfish not to stand in front of the laser. We all did try, but they stayed in the AoE and told the healers to adjust.

were we supposed to get a trailer?

There's really no need for this level of hostility. I don't know what's happened to the official forum lately but it used to be a lot more pleasant. The sheer amount of posters who are unable to agree to disagree and deliberately assume the very worst about the people they claim to be engaging with both on this board and the lore board is baffling.

I think another problem is, I think we're reaching a point where people in this community take *any* criticism as a personal attack. The 'you don't pay my sub!' statement exists for a reason. We really shouldn't be surprised when people take that concept out of the game and into virtually everywhere else at varying degrees.

If you notice, it's the same people, in every thread. If people "lurk more" before posting they'd notice that certain posters have red buttons that you can press by mentioning the same thing, over and over.

Like this thread, the same 6 people dogpile on everyone any time someone mentions raiding in a negative context. EVERY time.

It's delayed apparently, it should be out sometime during the week.

It couldn't be because those six people (it's far more than six) have grown tired of their preferred content being blamed for literally every issue the game has? A good portion of threads either fault raiders or parsers when it's simply poor development and lackluster content. If these people, whom I'll no doubt assume you count me among, were wrong? Why is it their posts are typically agreed with and liked whereas those they reply to wind up on a twitter feed to be laughed at?

Omg, I'm counted among the six now....? I don't even raid that perfectly. I'm not sure if I should feel honored or confused.

Astroturfing likes means nothing. If it's the same six people liking each other posts, just to inflate their "medals" for whatever reason, like they're playing a game on the forum.

I'm really sad that Chaos is Seph reskinned. No original model? come on. Same with Suzaku she's literally the T12 boss. SE, what's going on?

You mean, kind of like it tends to be the same couple of people that, every time anything related to endgame or DPS or healer DPS or harder dungeons - or, sometimes, something else entirely unrelated - is mentioned, come in to hijack a thread with anti-raider/anti-parser nonsense? Those same couple of people who cannot see beyond their own personal bias, and make blanket generalizations against an entire subset of players (sometimes even an entire server) just because they dislike someone on this forum? Or because of an incident that happens eons ago? Because that also happened in this thread with one of those individuals a few pages back. And now the other one has arrived to, once again, contribute their own nonsense.

It's cute that you think I would care about silly likes or medals on a discussion forum. I'm quite certain you count me among those "six" you referred to. Just based off of our previous encounters and discussions.

I like things I agree with. Doesn't matter who posts them. Even people I've disagreed with in the past have posted comments later on that I find reasonable or agree with.

Does this mean you'll just start liking posts promoting zero dps healers instead of making rants of your own?

No, because (for whatever reason) you care about that.

We care about raiding, what's so hard to understand about that?

Omg, I'm counted among the six now....? I don't even raid that perfectly. I'm not sure if I should feel honored or confused.
