Going through so much depression and this game is helping me immensely

[Nayout]

I'd consider it to be a pretty nuanced issue, really. It's one thing to use the game as a way to help alleviate one's problems...but it's another thing entirely to then expect other players to deal with the fallout when things go awry. Which is, unfortunately, alarmingly common within the FFXIV community.

This is too true, my last problem I had in the FF was from people who used their mental problems as excuses for everything they did and a leader of an FC who brought their problems to the FF.

The feeling that the person who created this post feels is something very common in many gaming communities, in Wow it happened to me and I think that all of us who have been playing MMORPG have lived it but unfortunately in FFXIV it is the first game where I see so many people with problems related to the mental health that lead to having a community that I feel is excessively delicate of any slight criticism, not of the game, but of themselves or many people who use these problems as excuses

On reddit many times I have seen people who lose the motivation to play because they have been told something in a dungeon or that they cannot receive some advice without entering into anxiety attacks or even people who hide the chat to not read anything.
