LuckyBancho data shows that FF14 is in decline

Subs up Reddit and these forums in a nutshell. But sometimes it has a place and purpose. Especially along the lines of "I do not engage with this content whatever and absolutely refuse to because X reasons", so it does still at least count as a form of feedback. Just on here, it often is pinned against people who do enjoy the content so it's met with a hostile, "Maybe you should go get your feet wet before you complain about it".

I think feedback that you don't do certain content is totally legit. My issue here is when people Noob-splain over those who do engage with the content based solely on conjecture and things they heard second-hand.

I agree with this. The conversation is tricky though because sometimes people Vet-splain at the same time. "It's not that hard, just do it" (Aka: Skill Issue), and refuse to understand a new players pov. It's a back and forth battle for sure.

Yeah I’m def guilty of vet-splaining sometimes.

But sometimes there are some outlandish claims like “people like SMN because they finally get an easy dps job for once” …like all jobs are designed with an approachable entry level playstyle by design. Except black mage, which has a comparatively higher skill floor.

But you’re right it’s a constant back and forth battle especially with people who frequent the forums a lot and also a lot of people who don’t. I think everyone gets frustrated having to reiterate their points for the 69th time because someone new jumped in.
