Do you guys want a bad community?

[Neptune]

Yeah, I never had any interest in WHM, and each party leader who said I needed to sub it made me that much less interested.

Is Explorer's Club moving to Mysidia?

haha no, but I did play FFIV for the first time the other night and I probably would have picked Mysidia if I had done it before playing FFXIV. But I trust you'll keep it real over on Mysidia XD

Quest in oct level was 46. I rerolled 30+ times trying nearly every rp/normal server our.

Honestly I'm not trying to start drama, I just don;t need the bullying replaies.
It pretty much is a yes or no question. I just put the reason in my post.

Pretty much abounc of posters.... you are also doing the same in this thread.
Pretty much bashed someone for having issues.
Calling them stupid and being pretty much an ahole. It looks bad to see that in my eyes, and only serves to chase ppl away. From my experiance no matter what you guys claim.... If the forums are bad thge ingame community is bad or worst. Aion is pretty much proof of that.
I'm a nice person if you actually get to kow me w/o labling my things that are not true. It funny how quicky ppl judge me yet, they are no better.

Anychance you guys can calm that down a bit if you can't stop.
I just want to see more helpful ppl on here and less bully

This is the first time i post in this thread, and i just asked you a question that has nothing to do with what is being discussed on the thread, how i'm i doing the same that others are doing ?

Seriously you need to relax or something lol

You pretty much don't understand me.

I've played Aion, and WoW. The forums are just ad bad as the community is in game. What you say or ask on the forums is then pointed out on the game. Like in Aion I was looking for a legion to get help with the game. I was insulted for being new. Both on the forums and in game. By the same ppl. And infact more in game.

Well, there is your problem. You can point fingers at the entire community because a habdful of douche-waffles trolled you on forums and again in-game. I do admit the community in WoW was bad but that was due to the massive amounts of younger less mature players taking their role play to annoying levels, whether they RP or not.

You're bashing 2 entire games cause of a very miniscule amount of run-ins with some trolls which kinda makes you no better then those who mindlessly bash games on forums just to hear ppl rage out on them.

[Frisque]

I vote we stop making topics to comment on mindless bickering troll-a-thons in other topics, its rather annoying and Kita you are not the only one doing it....

Seconded. It's a lot to muck through sometimes

You said the secret word!

(500 hours in MS paint.) \/

Thanks.........now I have beer & snot on my monitor =/

Oh, and I'm one of those people who tends to read the gaming forums when they're at work. And I read the Aion forums for about a year. And I'm pretty sure I remember your posts, OP (if you're the Sephiroth-whatever person who changed their name a couple dozen times and rerolled their character at least half a dozen times).

And if you are who I think you are, then you were not that innocent either. Some people *were* very helpful on those forums and tried really hard to give you advice not only on the game, but on your forum tone and conduct. Know what you did? You bashed on those people yourself and reported half of them (LOL) because you disagreed with their suggestions.

If that wasn't you on the Aion forums, well then sorry I guess. But the similarity is uncanny.

Frankly, I would put you on ignore but sometimes watching you get all vigilante-forum-police is just too delicious.

"then go back to WoW "

Its comments like this that make me angry , we all play the game and enjoy it in different ways.
I still log on to 14 just not all the time , i have decide to enjoy the game in my own way and hope to support it if it does go pay to play.

There is no right or wrong way to play the game.

People have a lot of frustration built up because of the disappointment XIV has been thus far and the updates are coming at a snail's speed. Seriously XI has had more dramatic and game changing updates than XIV during the past 6 months.

It would be nice to be able to talk about the game mechanics but they lack depth for that sort of conversation to happen.

Maybe a year from now the game has evolved into a more interesting form than a leve-dispenser it is now and people will be compelled to work together to play it. At least

I'm hoping they'll get it right someday.

If a game is enough to frustrate some people enough to transform them in rude and bitter hate-droolers, completely unable to let go, then I'm afraid the problem isn't in the game.
That's all there's to it.

It's much easier to evolve a game faster when you already have the basics in place since several years. Maybe you should make a comparison with the evolution of FFXI in it's first six months, instead of after eight years.

You pretty much don't understand me.
I understand you , but you are wrong.Btw telling you are wrong is not an insult.Everytime i have tried to tell you that , you bring out the response that i am trolling you.I am not, you opened a thread , so people will address to you directly.That is not trolling.
I've played Aion, and WoW. The forums are just ad bad as the community is in game. What you say or ask on the forums is then pointed out on the game. Like in Aion I was looking for a legion to get help with the game. I was insulted for being new. Both on the forums and in game. By the same ppl. And infact more in game.
again,this IS NOT WOW AION FFXI ETC ETC ETC.The community lacks party interaction right now.But that is how the game is currently.Stop judging FFXIV for whatever happened to you in whatever mmo before.I have meet a lot of newbies and they all been nice and they all were helped.But honestly , if someone i dont know comes and demands my help because im new , because that is what you are doing.I will honestly tell them to gtfo, im not intrested.

You say your new , then start acting like a noob, you dont know thins.Im pretty sure once you do , you wont get so many dick head responses.Is like your applying for a job by pushing the interviewer in the face and telling him give me ma job!.
Chill out , get off forums a bit.Play another game , and when you can afford a new pc , come and play.
So I think you need to realise that forums can reflect the ingame community pretty well. And that is something I don't want.
Again . You are wrong.
It could be worst... I could be bashing the game w/o playing >.>
No you are bashing the players who do play. You are worst than them.
And honestly I'm not doing anything wrong or trolling.
yes you are.
The REAL trolling
as in Derailing topics for the sake of doing so, bashing players, personally attacking anyone and everyone.

If you don't wanna reply my simple question, then just don't post. I don;t see a need to treat me like crap cuz of my opinon. If its a false opiniion then prove with out proving my opinion is fact (by insulting me)

you question is what is so diferent from ffxi ? Everythin but the races.
I take time to help ppl no matter what.

Kilta:
Your post is an inflammatory thread.You have to understand there is a lot of angry people about the state of the game.The developers them selfs have said the game is in a very bad state.Is human nature to complain , so they will complain.You trying to stop those complains when you haven't experienced what they complain about is on itself , an insult.Don´t expect sympathy if you open a thread calling the community trolls.

If you want help , be nice , discuss "game " things, dont post in general discussions,etc etc etc.Learning is a wonderful thin if you admit you are learning how the game works.If your looking for a helpful crew when you can get in game my linkshell in istory would welcome anybody who needs help.Including you if you could stop with all this drama(we dont like drama).is a game forum , people discuss thins about the game .Many different people with different personalities, just find a group that follows your objectives whatever they are , stick with it , be loyal and you will find a wonderful world into online games.Crying bout someone told you to stfu or becouse no1 helped you wont get you anywere.just stand up and walk again.

in short, what your doing is not healthy , for the game , or for you.

Kilta:

Yeah, Kilta, come on in game and hang out some with some friends.....I think you got the forum blues. Hanging out on the forums too much will turn anyone into a sour-patch kid.

If your on Besaid come look us up, we'll go bash some stuff!

[Gicker]

Ok this is in responce to some of the bashing and rude comments seen on this forum.

From my understanding, we have this forum to help improve the game, but also start building a great community. And so far this isn't the case. People are bashing, flaming, trolling other people. I can't speak for myself as I regreat some stuff I said. But from my years on ffxi, it was known for it having a helpful nice community. Yes there where bad eggs, but it was rare. Least in my eyes.

Pretty much this is my beef. Someone made a post saying up for lack of better terms upset on how difficault learning the games controls are. And a good % of the posts are being rude to the poster. Going as far as to say go back to WoW. Personally, I think that isn't needed. We should take the oppritunity to make this forum and game have a great community. If someone asks for help or seems troubled, help them out don't flame them. That will only chase ppl away. I think as you guys put it games bad enough w/o a horrific community.

I agree, and I myself have been less than polite at times, though normally it has been to people I considered flaming or trolls themselves. However the atmosphere in game is much different than that in the forums, even though it's pretty much the same people. I guess the additional level of anonymity makes people forget that they're real people on the other end. I am sure that using a more personal medium of communication other than a forum, people would be a lot more civil and courteous, though there would still be a few bad eggs (always are). It's just the nature of forums, especially once they grow beyond a certain size, and the nature of people in general. I am sure 90% of the people who argue here with others have much less contention in their normal lives than they experience and take part in here. Ultimately it falls on each of us as individuals to keep our own impulses under control.

I think the best thing that anyone who can agree with this can do is to just ignore flaming and trolling and not respond to it, because that just perpetuates the negative atmosphere. I know I will be trying to do the same. If we do respond, we should try to be civil and try to undermine the contention, instead of contribute to it.

But yes, the forum community atmosphere is less than pleasant, while I've experienced a pretty positive atmosphere from pretty much everyone I've interacted with in game, and disagreements have been much more civil and respectful.
