Why do some people seem personally offended by people who have more than 1 character?

....pssst, you guys "/s" stands for sarcasm

Y'all... they added "/s" to the end of their post. Typically, /s denotes sarcasm, and is used to convey that the message is facetious.

FF14 reddit is just as bad as /xivg/.

The only difference is that if you go afoul of the mods on reddit you either get downvoted to the end of time or a mod will just up and remove your post.

It wouldn't even surprise me if the only time threads in the FFXIV Reddit gets a positive upvote score is when it gets attention from other subreddits that come in and upvote them.
That's how bad the situation is.

I often see people say that the reason why the issue exists is because of '' low-effort posts/ easy to google questions '' but it's clearly not true and it's still not as bad on other pages.
And memes often get upvoted too which is hardly '' big brain '' content.
The stuff that gets upvoted on the official Reddit is basically the same as ShitpostXIV even if they love to pretend otherwise.

I have two characters. No, it's not to play with friends on a another server. It's just for me. I like to swap back and forth between characters who have different jobs, different roles, and different vibes.

I am aware I'm enduring mountains of arbitrary, needless inconvenience and hassle because of it. I know I'm shut out of achievements, titles, etc., for not doing everything on one character. I am literally being gouged a higher monthly subscription fee to do so, for no reason at all other than Square Enix hates me. I don't need to be told "Oh honey, you're playing the game wrong."

Is there a non-gendered word for "mansplaining"? This seems like the most accurate term, but as an IRL man myself I don't think I get to call it that, lol.

Don't forget the FaN aRT that gets upvoted...even when most of it looks exactly the same.

Yes, then game needs to be less actively hostile to alts.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do it to keep storage space down, less characters to save.

oh

and of course the Fantasia sales.

Most people there seem to hate fan art and cosplay ( especially if it's female characters ).
Imo fan art and cosplay has more of a place ( and also requires far more effort ) on a fanpage than copy pasted memes.

Fan art and cosplay sometimes sits in the positive but usually has still been massively downvoted too.

[Eldevern]

Probably because you don't need alts...
I mean...why would you want more than one character?
