A person who is capable of trolling is actually educated. People like Venandi are probably constantly laughing at anyone who takes them seriously. Thinking that they lack education is underestimating them and they want you to do just that. They wouldn't be trying to appear like an idiot if they didn't want you to think that.

It also arguably requires a decent understanding of human behaviour and psychology. Knowing what buttons to press and so on. Granted, large segments of the FFXIV community do not appear to be particularly difficult to rile up but the point stands, I think.

I'd also note that more than a few supposed 'trolls' are, in fact, likely just regular players who recognised that even if they make legitimate threads then the same posters eager to cry foul about 'trolling' will show up to dismantle any and all suggestions made towards the game.

It's quite fascinating, really - I wonder if anybody else has noticed a pattern where some of the same individuals constantly keeping threads such as this one active just so happen to be amongst those who rush to shoot down constructive threads as well?

If people are serious about wanting to clean up this forum then I think they need to stop responding to what they claim are 'troll threads' and avoid stifling constructive threads.

It takes two to tango :^)

This issue you're going to have is everyone's idea of reasonable construction threads is different so it'll never be solved.
