Final Fantasy XIV and a Culture of Enabling

[SturmChurro]

Ah SWTOR PvP good times, it was a blast just [..] talking people calling people bad just to get them to queue for ranked only to them them struggle with a hard swap comp and blow a player up in a cc chain.

SWTOR could have been something great.

I do miss SWTOR pvp and how honest everyone was. I was an rper but even still the pvp community was a blast.

God, don't remind me! Brings a tear to my eyes thinking of it all. It was so fun! The PvP events too, where we would go into the other factions spawn on some world, or gank players leveling! LOL. Sigh... it really brings a tear to my eye.. Then the servers started dying as they inevitably do, and PvP got merged into PvE... I haven't been able to replicate that same experience in any game since, to be honest. WoW is the closest, to be fair, but it just... ah.. Well, actually in WoW I heard they got rid of PvP servers, last time I played that they had real PvP servers..

FFXIV is really great and all, but it's just missing that competitive spark. It's generally frowned against which is very unfortunate. Player competition is a very good thing for an MMO. Even for PvE content, player should be encouraged to do more, just do better. Everyone here takes everything as like, a personal slight, and they start reporting others knowing how heavy-handed moderation is here.

Kicks are all don't ask don't tell here too. You can kick a player for "difference in playstyles", as long as you don't give the actual reason for it.
