Positivity!

[Renalt]

What’s toxic about their positivity? What’s wrong with occasionally coming to these forums and balance out the negativity of majority of the threads here? No matter who I speak with in the game, no one has felt content draught and is absolutely happy with the state of the game and EW story. It really seems that people dissatisfied with the game are solely on this forum. So I don’t see any harm in sharing a counter opinion, as a forum is not meant to be only for those bashing the game, but everyone.

What about you learn to accept that probably a majority of people playing this game genuinely love it. The echo chamber of crying and negativity that these forums have become is not reflective of the opinions of countless of others.

Just block them. They want engagement. They get REAL mad when you don't pay them any attention.

Is that about the "mad" people that aren't EW sheeps or about the WoW-Quitter-To-FFXIV-fans?

Both, sometimes we want to be mad because we are feeling bored. It's ok, human, fun.

Nothing inherently. But for some reason, anyone who makes a positive thread seems to have this compulsion to make it either for the purpose of damage control (aka suppressing negative feedback so it doesn't get addressed) or to own the 'haters'. That's why this thread is an example of toxic positivity. (OP literally admitted to this thread being damage control so it's not even speculation to say that it is)



Argumentum ad populum. Look it up.

Exactly. I genuinely love the game too, but I'm allowed to be unhappy with how some quests are bugged to where you can't complete them without either logging off then re-logging, or needing a GM to intervene to fix it. The ARR quest The Gifted is infamous for this (which never got fixed by the way --- an fc member of mine had this happen to him a few days ago).

I seriously hate how condescending some of the people in here are. I'm sick of them wrongfully assuming that they're the only ones who love and enjoy the game and I'm sick of them wrongfully assuming that those of us who have valid criticisms about it are haters when that's rarely the case, if ever. I'm going to be unhappy with the things that are broken esp when said broken things affect the people I care about. Good on those of you who can be blissfully ignorant of such, but I can't. Ignorance isn't the answer to everything, nor does it solve things.

It's BECAUSE of my love for FFXIV that I want the best for it. People don't take that into consideration, and I'm sick of it!

I find it hilarious how even with UBlock filters people still live in this guy's head rent free

[Stormpeaks]

I thought you have Ren blocked like you stated. Why are you replying to him? Oh, he's living rent free in your mind.

Please do show me a recent post of me saying I blocked Renalt, I unblocked him a while time ago, unlike him and Zephyr I dont need to pretend to block people.

Good try at a gotcha though, sadly it failed miserably

I actually already have, sadly the ignore/blacklist system in this forum is absolute crap because this forum is like one from 15 years ago

I did the search for you, that was my post, and I also mentioned that the blocking system is absolutely useless (which it is) so I unblocked because there's no point

As I said above, good try at a gotcha, sadly it failed, try harder next time buddy.

The day the blocking system actually works as a blocking system, aka not showing the person at all, nor their posts, nor their threads, then I will block ,until then there is no point to block anybody, you will literally see their posts and threads anyway.

Okay, yandere.

Okay, yandere.

Sure thing, Ren's yandere.

Honestly, I think Stormpeaks has the right of it here. If you no longer wish to interact with someone, normally you'd block and ignore them. Randomly bringing them up by name kind of works against your goal here. It is rather odd to bring someone up by name when you want to ignore them.

Yeah, but she doesn't seem to do this for Ren.
