What things annoy you?

[Kaurhz]

1) Being inadequate, relative to the content I am doing at the given time.

2) People being petty when it comes to giving or responding to criticism.

3) People that just don't try to any reasonable or minimal benchmark, relative to the content.

4) The sound of a Rapid Synthesis failing, and the impending despair when no Rapid Synthesis' hit whilst under the effect of Muscle Memory and Veneration.

Do threads like this count?

Pretty much, lol.

That is why I choose to play mmo solo. FFXIV players are so demeaning towards their player-base. FFXIV is Fortnite toxicity without the racial slurs.....So I give FFXIV credit there at least......lol....

Been through a lot of mmo, since the late 90s. I would say Guild Wars & City of Heroes were the best. I actually rock sprouts on alts, so people will avoid playing with me haha....I am in it for the main quest, that is all....not the endgame.

Too old for the drama. I would get a gf if I wanted drama...At least there is eye candy to be had there.

People who claim this game is toxic yet in the same breath espouse toxicity.

Content like Eureka and Coils of Bahamut dying quickly and never being touched again.

There is a fascinating, in some dark funny way, relationship between an obsession with acceptance and lack of self's ability for acceptance lol. Which isn't to say just because someone has a point that it's entirely wrong just because there are flaws- I think most bad ideas, or at least good lies, have truth in them, that's what makes them believable / grounded. So often bad, but popular, points still have something in them worth paying attention to.

I often see people 11/10 manipulate and willfully misunderstand the paradox of tolerance while at the same time entirely missing the ironic opportunity for it to be used in similar format against them if they were so willing to fly past the entire quote, rather people who share it almost always use the partial as an opportunity to be intolerant even in situations that the paradox writer itself listed as times not to be intolerant lol.

Like when you watch people who are not in power asking for freedom and peace to be left as is but once in power near immediately that discussion dies and so too any sense of self-awareness as it's "it's my time now" - behaving akin to the dictatorship traits they claimed to be against moments ago (literal or just sometimes claimed).

It's more the fact that this community tries to act like it's "great" (not toxic), as if.

This is very interesting and is flying way over my head I am *so* sorry. I'm glad it's here for others to read and take in, but I'm dumb as rocks.

Oh definitely! It's just hilarious (in the most sarcastic way imaginable) when people complain about the games toxicity while being extremely toxic themselves, as if theyre not part of the problem or as if they don't share the same traits.

- Some of these "forums celebrities" that plagues almost every corner with their infamy. Probably the reason why I don't engage here as often;

- Also positionals. I think it's a solid mechanic, but it is beyond frustrating to land in a group where the tank gyrates the boss for no reason... And before someone comes for me with True North, nope... True North doesn't help when he turns the enemy right before you press the button;

- "You can't do <insert thing> while in <insert thing>." menu messages... Optimally I'd just have one menu auto-closing as I open the other, but alas...

- Tokens that drop in pve encounters. They function as a sub-currency and some are unecessarily convoluted. The 8-man raid sword tokens is one of them.

- Glamour restrictions. If depended on me, when it comes to glamouring it would have DoW or DoM and job exclusive separations.

I figure that's because many consider mostly/only "toxic raiders" as toxcity, while the other side of the spectrum (the whole and undefined range of "casual" toxcity) is blissfully or intentionally ignored or seen as less of a problem.

Yep. Either they're going "People have to play exactly how I like, which means wall-to-wall-to-wallx5 pulls for tanks, DPS having 100% perfect rotations, and healers doing the most DPS and healing everyone, but if DPS is doing less DPS than the healer then DPS is doign things wrong, but if Healer doesn't have the most DPS then healer is healing wrong, our runs have to be 10 minutes or less, it's someone elses fault if we wipe!" or "I want everything to be super easy, I can't personally do halatali and that's the hardest dungeon I KNOW! I wish we didn't have to play the content at all... you don't pay my sub! i just wanna walk around!" and I've yet to see an inbetween
