Remember how someone said that Positive Threads Never Get Attacked, but only Negative Threads do?....lol

And they even question his sincerity. I do like to come to the forum, to sometimes speak up, rattle a cage or yank a chain every now and then, but some of those people, should have their internet permanently removed.

Not a strange reaction when the OP lists some of the most common complaints in the forum and then somewhat dismisses them (to OP, not even accusing that it was on purpose, it's just very easy to read it that way). I guarantee you that the response to this thread would be extremely different if it looked like it wasn't made in retaliation to negative posts.

Two positive threads off the top of my head that have been very well-received were the "What do you guys do for fun" one that was posted recently (https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/483942), and the "Positive Feedback" one posted soon after 6.4's launch (https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/482641), and both of them were just that. Regular topics with non-inflammatory opening posts. I struggle to think of a more vocal critic than Stormpeaks, for example, and they left positive feedback in both.

Thanks for those links, will have a look at those when I need to wait again for the paint to dry...literally.

Probably because as Awesomejr44 posted above it wasnt entirely genuine.

Very valid points, I guess the reason i felt motivated to post was damage control for the forum mods / devs looking. I dont want them to think that "everyone hates their game" or "everything they do is wrong", or "everyone just wants to complain lets ignore all forum feedback". And I wanted to share that there are people who do love the game especially if any sprouts are looking at the forums and feel overwhelmed from said negativity and begin questioning their game of choice. But yeah I should of worded my statements better, it does look like my pro's overright people's cons when it doesn't.

Guess I dont need my internet removed in the end, eh ?

I didn't say your internet needed removed. You didn't read all my posts. But I guess making sure sprouts / tired forum moderators some positivity / damage control is not a sincere thing and i guess i should be burned at the stake? I still see people mentioning these patches as lack luster with the story and i'm just not seeing it. What it seems like is just general burn out. I mean why is it ok for you to come at me and mock me at first and have all these people just hate on me? Isn't it hypocritical? Even if my thread is "positive toxicity" while other posters threads and comments are just "pure toxicity"?

However for the other people who aren't mocking / insulting, even if you disagree I thank you for debating with respect.
