This is the smartest comment on this thread, and possibly the whole general discussion forum section.
I actively use the block list to block people whose opinions hold no value to me, so about 20% of the posts on here are blocked. The players whose opinions do hold merit are likely to stop using the forums because any constructive conversation is drowned out by all the nonsense.
The best way to enjoy the FFXIV community is to communicate with people ingame and get to know the people you game with instead of random people from other servers, who may as well be playing another game, since you're never likely to ever play with them. If anyone is having trouble integrating into the Besaid community, please feel free to contact me ingame.
