Island Sanctuary is yet another data point in the trend of FF14's downhill spiral

Yeah, sadly a lot of people go "omg you're all entitled brats who can't be thankful for anything and wants all to cater to them" as soon as someone maes a critique/negative feedback to anythign ffxiv.

That counts for both sides.
U can see it in many different places, theres either 100% Yes, or 100% no...but nothin inbetween.
One of the many problems is that some ppl dont know how to criticize things.
Most negative feedback u read on the official forums is somethin like "I expected somethin else and thats why it sucks..." or just random whine that makes u wanna hand them some cheese to it.
Many ppl cant just stick with a topic but need to complicate things to the max, twist and turn things into some weird philosophical whatever, or start to over-simplify stuff.
I mean srsly...look at the Thread, its called "this and that another data point in the trend of FF14's downhill spiral".
A little pathetic, dont u think?

Another problem is that moderation is very very "polite", or maybe they just dont have enough moderators.
Usually moderators delete repetitive threads, so u dont get 5 times "Content X-Y sucks" with basically close to zero differences.

Tbh, the General Discussion is mostly trashtalk.
Ppl use it to meme stuff away or just go nuts.
That does not only count for FFXIV, it happens on Reddid every day.
So its nothin u have to worry about ^^

Oh, these forums stopped being moderated many years ago. The only time stuff gets moderated is it's reported, otherwise there's not an active moderation.
This game doesn't even really have PR staff tbh. I remember in the old days there were staff members regularly posting on the forums, but now they're mostly abandoned.

Yah, thats why the trash explodes right into our faces.

I am disappointed with Island Sanctuary but not gonna bother explaining my feelings cause I don't really feel like being raito'd by a bunch of people that clearly won't agree with me anyway. Kind of a lost cause conversation to be hand even mentioning it.

The people that play this game are some of the most closed minded people I've ever met.

I don't know why they bother having forums up at all when people are incapable of discussing anything civilly, much less discussing anything at all. I know someone out there is going to scream "You just don't like it when people disagree with you," but the issue isn't people disagreeing, it's that people just straight up go "you're wrong" and the whole discussion is immediately shut down. There's not even a single attempt to see where another person is coming from. Add in the trolls that just want to stir everything up and it's a whole cesspit.

Well, the thread starts by claiming that this game is in some sort of a "downhill spiral" because op says it. Excuse if people don't take that very seriously. If anyone wants a serious discussion, they should learn how to state their points in a serious way first.

*looks at the cut content per expansions starting during HW*
*looks at the slowly creeping daily/weekly things the devs are adding in*
*looks at the cash shop with devs going "it's a side thing we are doing, it won't affect the game. :^)"*
*looks at SB gutting the classes*
*looks at ShB "streamlining" classes*
*looks at the level/story skip potion in the cash shop*
*looks at the rewrite/EW debacle*
Oh, but the IS is the issue. Glad we cleared that up, lmao.

I don't know what OP is smoking but I love Island Sanctuary and haven't seen a single person online complaining about it.

^ this

Even if i wouldn't play it with all alts, it's cool content for 1 or 2 characters and... it's timeless?
You can play it now or in 1 year or whenever...
Really big optional minigame!

Would you look at that, Island Sanctuary is already dead one patch later, people only do it for 3 or 4 minutes a day at best.

[hagare]

cool.
Call me if you got something new.
I'm gonna farm more mats in my island
