Final Fantasy XIV and a Culture of Enabling

[SturmChurro]

I think there’s a lot of evidence to really back it though. Looking back at the older mmo’s where people were never at all this sensitive. And just looking at the way people can actually take criticism in other mmo’s, this literally seems like the only one where people make it okay for other players not to know their job and repeatedly enable them over and over and try to defend every little thing. I personally try to assume the best in people(which can be really problematic) but its very difficult to do with the people in this game honestly. There’s actually been studies done though in regards to this generation and the effects that technological advancement has had on them and one of the outcomes is higher emotional stress ironically. Sure theres some people that can take a joke still for sure, but just looking at this entire thread there are a lot of people that meet the equivalent of exactly the kind of people being mentioned with this.

I'm gonna have to agree with Ammokkx. The concept is a pretty big generalization. To me, it's more of a shift in popular culture, and social media. I can probably make a pretty educated guess that the majority of this community is actually older than both myself and Ammokkxx. I don't believe it's limited to age.
