Shame on you Square

[MaikoRaines]

Look at you, acting like this is your first xpac.

Look at you, acting like this is your first pandemic.

I honestly don’t understand all this whining. Troll or not, this isn’t something new in MMO’s. Every game with every new expansion face the same issues

Depending on the mindset, it does provide hours of entertainment while you sit in a never ending queue. Some people opt to just shove a crayon on their nose for fun too.

Though the latter would suggest the few trolls/posters on here already might...

Are we still believing that every time someone says something against the hivemind their a WOW troll? The XIV Community has their own bad apples and toxic players, we just hide them better.

I've said this multiple times already. The obsession some people in this community have with WoW is astonishing. It's like they can't comprehend the fact that this game has toxic players and trolls and they need to put the blame on something else.

Probably just a love and hate situation. They still crave WoW's glory before the fall, just like you love an ex you met in the past. I never played WoW but boy do I get sick and tired of hearing it. I miss the days before Blizzard decided to screw over their own franchises.

Back then, the issue was your computer or your internet provider, and now, same issue but it is the semi conductor scarcity?

Funny

The 2002 is internet related. The fact that we are stuck in queue is because of the semi conductor scarcity and the boom in population. If we didn't have a queue, you wouldn't see 2002 except rarely.

The lack of empathy from some members of this great community is truly disgusting. I hope the mods start doing something about this.

What do you want the mods to do about people who don't care about others? They won't ban them. It's their right to be an a-hole.
Also, there are no mods. They let other crap through all the time. I doubt any SQEX employees even read this forum.

I don't understand. Just go do something else? They are compensating lost days so you aren't losing any money. Play a different game or whatever until they find a fix and every thing dies down. If you really feel the need to play only FFXIV and absolutely need to get on and suffer the queue then complain later, you got some issues.

This applies for everyone.

This happens every xpac. You'll be fine, move along.

For some players you have to be really ashamed. The lack of empathy is worrying.
Is it so difficult to understand that people who have a job and children also want to have a little fun and relaxation?
You say "read a book, go for a walk" etc.
What if they do that and still want to play FF and can't because SE screwed up?
It's not the gamers fault that they have a life besides video games. Have a little understanding for the frustration these players have. It's really not that difficult.

Oh, this old empathy card again.
The only reason FF14 community established as a better and less toxicity than WoW community is FF14 players mostly origin from FF11, in which, more mature.
Most of us do have jobs and family, but we also have something that WoW community lack of....we understand the difficulties SE currently facing and we are more forgiven.
As long as SE is maintaining a clear communication and showing progress that they are doing their best to resolve the situation, FF14 community in general will accept it.

...Then they can't do that. Period.
The same way for the rest of us.

It's not complaining now.
It whining.
