Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

[Skiros]

No thanks. And if you don't like any job in FF, then don't play FF?

I used to laugh at these sorts of responses, but now I just feel contempt and disgust.

Day by day I find it harder and harder to respect this playerbase.

I hope it becomes more and more insular and cultlike, and watch the decay as players wonder what went wrong.

99% of this playerbase's defense of the game boils down to "your preferences are wrong". But bit by bit, more and more players' preferences will start to become wrong. It's honestly pathetic that the playerbase doesn't even realize why the wider MMO audience see it as a fanatical ring and regularly mock its insane and obsessive desire to white knight every facet of the game.

I wonder if people ever realize why so many of the descriptions of FF14's community are also words used for religion? Why do people describe FF14 players as "evangelizing", for instance?

No matter, it's not like anyone can pull a zealot away from its fervor.
