We lost 70% of our player base half a year in

The WoW influx is a complete fluke. The population is going to start declining as the WoW players slowly get bored and move on.

My main point is, if WoW can't die despite being tied to a crap company, and RuneScape can't die despite shilling to China, it's unlikely that XIV will die anytime soon

@ Laurent and Theodric

Thank you kindly for the explanations - my mobile won't let me properly quote you both lol

Ahh, a new alt skiros? Or TitanMen? Or brofists? Or whoever you are?

Which one is the real you anyway.

Bro Jobs was the original I believe, but he has since name changed that character to Skiros Drakon. (google 'FFXIV Bro Jobs' and it will lead you to Skiros' lodestone page)

You can change your name Bro Jobs, but the shame will always be with you.

I don't know if that is true I still get a login queue every day for the past 3 years can they upgrade EU DC, please.

Data point is still a data point. Shouldn't simply be dismissed outright.

Yes, it can be dismissed because Steam's data only looks at concurrent players. Players who have booked their PTOs for the expansion launch will obviously play less after that which makes the concurrent count lower. But that doesn't mean the active count went down by 70%. OP is just a doomer.

The active count might not have gone down by 70% but it is absolutely not at the same levels.

He doesn't really let any forget, his army of alts and similar posting styles.

If you've been on the forums for a while, you can pretty much recognize his alts on sight. It's kind of sad.

Nah, I don't think so. I made a post complaining about the tiny heads on the Lynx's in a similar way to the criticisms that were common about the Gwibers after ShB launch, and I had a bunch of people claiming I was Titanman/Skiros. I really don't think most people can recognize writing style from multiple sources. It's just a cop out to dismiss someone else's opinion by claiming they're a troll.

That's an odd thing for people to claim you are TitanMen over lol.


The primal mounts tend to look awful. I think the last set I liked were the birds.

It's not just writing style either. It's the topic. And I don't (personally) claim someone is a TitanMen account unless I'm pretty sure. I don't usually even claim people are trolls (outside, you know, actual trolling).


I have disagreements with a subset of people on here, and we will never see eye to eye.


Unfortunately, blocking is useless because the threads still show up. I attempt to exercise restraint, but sometimes the impulse to reply kicks in. It is what it is.
