The difference between WoW and FF14

[Chalbee]

This thread is so bizarre. If you're honestly so afraid that anything you say will get you banned if you say it in chat, maybe re-evaluate how you communicate with others? I've been playing this game for 4 years, given plenty of advice and criticism -which I'll note was sometimes not nice because I'm human and get frustrated, but I've never received so much as a warning or even a clapback from the person I was talking to. Mostly people either take my advice or ignore it, in which case I drop it and just hope we can finish the duty.

The only way I can see getting reported is if you're making pointed criticisms about things the person can't fix at the moment (buying new gear, getting a stronger connection, rebuilding rotations from the bottom up etc. aren't things you can just do real quick in 30s in an instance) and/or getting personal, which you shouldn't really be doing in the first place.

Also "People are such snowflakes now!" = "These people have no right to get upset when I verbally abuse them!"

If you get upset about mean things some random stranger in an online game throws at you, how do you cope with actual life on a daily basis?

Well first of all, people can come on the internet and say whatever they want with little to no repercussions. I've never ever seen or heard
anyone say something straight up racist or homophobic or any other severely mean thing to or around me in real life.
They're scared so they come here and be mean.

Secondly, we are here to play a video game...not sit around and be bullied and have some random cuss you out into the next universe.
That's where they get a ban and hopefully see the error of their ways. We are still human and have feelings and should either be nice or don't say anything at all.
If you live somewhere where you get thrown out random insults and feel that's the norm then I actually feel bad for you and sorry that happens.
People can be so cruel.
