Are you here because you hate WoW or love FF14

[RosaliaDLB]

Yeah I like this glam for my machinist, I rarely play her anymore but it is the character I started with. Actually I left FFXIV for a while and went back to ESO. I have a lot of time and money sunk into my characters there. But I really like the FFXIV setting and I loved the main story here so much. I took a break for about a year not playing games at all. Then came back here this time I made a lala because I could never play a lala before now I have a ninja and I love it, going back through the story and making new friends. I read the forums to see what's happening or if their are any decent conversations going on. I enjoy the exchange of ideas even if I don't agree, but the troll threads just kill me especially when people get dog piled by the negative nannies.

But no I'm not the OP.

TLDR

"stop talking negatively about the videogame I play guys I dont like it !"

Perhaps if you dont like criticism of the game, you shouldnt be on the forums

I was on a miqote but when I get the free Fantasia I ended up switching to Lalafell because I thought I was hilarious being the tank and seeing the tall beefy races stand behind me. I'm only on the forms weekdays cuz I'm at work and not much to do sometime so I chill here waiting to get home and play. I never could get into ESO, I tried playing when necromancer first came out I think and played for a while but just never got far with it but one of my wow buddies loves the PVP there.

I don't think anybody mines criticism when you're constructive and it has a good point. Like my earlier post I mentioned criterion versus mythic +. Criterion I enjoy for difficulty of the bosses versus the race of mythic plus, but mythic plus has better rewards. See that's a criticism of a system but also point out that I prefer it over the race I just think it needs a better reward system for the time invested maybe it's own gear set to kind of be less than raiders but above crafted. Or the transmog versus glamour, how I like that wow automatically saves gear you get to transmog but I also like glamor having multiple plates so it's easier to swap. See criticism but the direction to show where I think they could improve really for both games.

And yet criticism is pretty widely viewed as a bad thing on this forum, no matter good or bad, because you are a "hater" if you do, or you should "just quit", amongst other comments that people get when they post constructive criticism, toxic positivity is the absolute worst, and this forum loves its toxic positivity

The interesting thing is that Yoshi-P himself is on record praising WoW in various interviews as a major inspiration for FFXIV. My own take on the subject is that there's a lot of things that WoW just does better than FFXIV and I wish FFXIV took more cues from the game when it comes to to exploration and the sheer scale of the game world. In turn, there's some stuff that I hope WoW takes note of from FFXIV moving forward.

It's how businesses are supposed to work. They're meant to strive for improvement and take note of what their competitors are doing or not doing.

Why are you harassing me?

[RosaliaDLB]

Why are you harassing me?

I responded to you 2 or 3 times, if you feel harassed, I feel sorry for you

[Snorky]

I actually feel bad for you, no reason to feel sorry I'm pretty happy with my life and gaming experiences. but okay keep that positive outlook.

No one gets just quit or anything like that when they post a constructive criticism and don't post it in a condescending way. Don't come to the forum and say well wow's better than final fantasy, all wow contents better than final fantasy and that you're kind of what you like is a reason gaming sucks blah blah blah expect to have positive interaction. Just like life is all on how you present yourself you present yourself as you want to debate and argue and have a pissing contest somebody's going to step up and challenge, you come on here and try to just talk and have a friendly debate about the back and forth about what the game can improve on what it does right what it does wrong you'll get people that want to participate in that respectfully.

Excuse me but where did anyone say WoW is better than FF14 at everything ? Who said that ?

From what I see, you post a criticism of FF14, then people jump out and say WoW is bad ? So people who played WoW will say: you're actually wrong, it's better in this or that way. The first shot is always people talking smack at WoW, when no one asked ?
