What happened in the last week to make people so vocally against the current state?

...imo a few users who have multiple accounts have also had an impact on the culture, successfully pushed a lot of white / bright knights away, and empowered some of the dark knights (not all negative feedback is dark knight...). That isn't to say the feedback is meaningless, just that I feel Palpatine has taken over the senate, lol. I actually enjoy some of the threads even as they have humor, and do share viewpoints in between the chaos, just that it appears to me they have had a cultural impact. They're Endwalker story in action - dynamis and all... and this is Ultima Thule.. lol

Don't worry. Walking Dead will drop off in a few seconds.

Memery aside though, it seems like only two or three people have done the multiple account thing. One of them will lean into it whenever someone calls them out, but the other two deny it vehemently despite everyone and their mother already knowing the truth. I don't think they've impacted the culture too much, given nearly everyone knows what's up.

Imo titanmen has always been around. It’s that the game is losing support from a lot of players and even content creators due to EW’s content implementation and decisions with the relic. So the critics, myself included, have become more vocal and the defenders slightly less.

Give me content where I don’t just hand in tomes, can repeat hard 4 man dungeons because the rewards are good, and develop an island with interesting mechanics and social elements and I would probably be defending it.

A lot of content feels half assed. I did praise Aglaia a while back because while it does have its flaws you could tell it wasn’t half assed.

The forums were always a bit mixed, but they were more positive a few years ago. If you had criticism, or would make certain suggestions, it was pretty common to see belittling comments in reply: "this game isn't for you", etc. I'd say it's still pretty mixed, but a lot more people are seeing the writing on the wall, and a lot of the newer players that don't will see it sooner or later, when they get to that point in the game too.

There could literally be 5 players left in the game and you'd still be able to find those 5 people for content, that doesnt mean the game is alive

Is it an exageration ? Absolutely but it just shows how stupid your point is, you also play on Crystal so of course you'll have people for content all the time, it's the only NA datacenter alive for content.

Wait, what? Aether is supposed to be dead? Nobody told us.

I'm sorry, I think you meant Aether?

according to the people complaining in general about the state of the game, Crystal is, and always has been full of Limsa afk'ers

which would imply they may make it populated but they are doing nothing aside from posing or in RP events. you cant have it both ways. either people are playing the game or they are afk.. which is it?

no worries ^^

as one of the Crystal "bums" who avoids Limsa at all costs, was just curious. We do seem to have a larger population than some thats for sure.
