. Tribalism and the perpetual amount of absolute adoration/disdain people have for each other in and for FFXIV is kinda exhausting.
I tend to find that those people equate the message with the messenger..always a fatal flaw. Doesnt matter who says it, if what they say is true or accurate, whoever says it isnt important. I had one poster call my posts "rage filled" which is hysterically funny, considering they are nothing of the kind.

This forum has this weird idea that they "represent the community"..which they dont. I wont agree on "tribalism", more a hivemind that doesnt approve of others disagreeing with their "meta" on what they believe people should think of the game. Caliing someone a "white knight' is also a pejorative, to some people here, the cold brutal fact is some of them will NEVER be satisfied, no matter what the devs do.
