Do people on these forums only complain endlessly?

Ah, yes. A discussion forum with no actual discussion on it. The ideal we must all strive for.

Man, I really miss late 90s/early 2000s internet. Sure beats everyone being passive aggressive because no one wants to get banned for breaking a fragile ego. lol

We got what we wanted. A world where no one is ever mean to you until you walk away, then you get completely trashed.

There's a difference between discussion and endless bitching. Do people really have to come to the forums to complain about the fact that they can't pass a solo duty in the endwalker campaign?

When every other venue for discussing or sharing experience about the game are cult-like Yoshida worship echochambers where people literally try to shoot down and hide negative feedback, the people who really want a place to share their disapproval or vent end up gathering in the ONLY place they won't be down voted til their comments disappear and find others who don't think the game is all sunshines.

And before anyone brings up "the other sub"... The only differences between the two subs is that the so called "better" sub is raid-centric and doesn't spam Miqo'te fap art.

And it's on the game website's main forum. Now THAT'S irony~! lol

Ofc some are hyperbole but some just complain because they care...

You forgot the legendary bard performance macro hater.

People complain to get attention.
That's why so many of the complaints are hyperbolic if not downright dishonest -- to provoke a response.
Many of the complaints are just barely distinguishable, if at all, from outright trolling.

Yeah OP they should just rename this form to "Karen Discussion" rarely anyone ever comes here because they actually love the game and just want to talk about it, unfortunately.

"Endwalker is badly written because it didn't go the way I wanted it to. Also, I love the genocidal mass murderer."

"Island Sanctuaries are bad because it's not instanced housing. There's nothing to do after picking up 9700 nodes to reach rank 10 in the first week. What's a workshop?"

"Datamining has ruined the game. These debuff icons reveal everything about the savage raid and will ruin progression. I don't do savage raiding though."

"Why do you say "first time" in a new instance?"

"I got rescued once so please remove the ability from the game. I can't handle losing control over my character. I'm the main character, nobody should be able to mess with my movement but me."

"Crafting is too easy."

"Crafting is too hard."

"Removed from Ex4 by Japanese group. Racist. I queued into a duty complete group and got removed for not knowing what to do."

It would be difficult to find someone who creates a forum account, log into and make a post stating: "I like X and Y, thank you so much!" and other genuine positive posts. I'm not saying they don't exist, it's just they're way fewer than cases where someone is bothered by something in-game and try to find somewhere to vent, whine, complain and discuss about it.
