Please add damage meters, Yoshi P.

On the surface, what you just said, I have no problem with. However, too often the implementation of 'criticism' usually leaves much to be desired. The words 'trash', 'garbage' and 'uninstall', for instance should not be part of it, but, many people who like to give criticism seem to enjoy using those words, among others, and, well, no one is going to take criticism in good spirits when given that way. The criticism is going to be completely ignored, and the person will be less likely to pay attention to criticism from anyone after that.

i.e. criticism is fine. You do it the wrong way, the person you were supposedly trying to help, will instead ignore you and anyone who even starts to act like you. So, if you *actually* want to help people, as some of you say, then you need to make sure you don't act the way some have shown here in the forums. In simple words, criticism is fine, but being a dick about it means you might as well save your breath, no matter how good it may feel to you.

Report and move on, but that being said even if a person is a dick about it does not negate the criticism.

Yea and the TOS allow you to report people calling each other trash and garbage.

Why do you all act like implementing a DPS metter will magically allow people to be toxic without any kind of punishment?

And now GM team has 20000% increase in submitted tickets. There is a reason PvP toggled of free chat years ago

To an effect of... no reduction in toxicity, since the disease was never addressed, only its transcribable symptoms suppressed so the team can pretend they're not there. Quite the tradition, at this point.

Are we honestly going to try to make the case here that player freedoms, learning, and support tools should be held hostage to XIV just wanting to spend even less on community/game management?

they need to stop necro bumping this dumpster fire.

So now it is bad because it increases the amount of work a person was hired to do? God I wish more jobs worked like that where people actively want to prevent the workers from working too hard.

Reading and taking action on tickets is legit one of ther primary functions

It not like their paid to review tickets.

And then you lose the first team fight and someone explodes like:
Nice job! Nice job! Good Game! Good game! Nice job! Hello! Nice job! Good game!

But it's fine, they're not being toxic because team chat doesnt exist in CC.

Chat still exists in frontline btw. Which has a chart at the end telling everyone who did how much damage over the fight.

In order for it to be considered necroposting, the thread would have to actually, you know, die?

[Deceptus]

It almost like you could mesure things like how well you do mechanics and how well you do rotation and weave by the amount of damage you do. Turn out people who don't dodge AOE deal less damage when they die.

You're not looking at the big picture though.

There are two ways a company deals with increased workload.
1. increase manpower by shifting workers from other activities, ie. content, or
2. increase manpower by increasing staff, more money.

So, we either end up with less content less often, ie. pushing out patches every 6 months with less content and expansions every three years, OR increase the sub price to compensate for increased payroll.
Which one would you suggest?
