Young players are not going to play FF14

[Aldath]

Unironically how old are you? You think this is the first MMO with ERP. My experience says no. If you are so unhappy leave. Yep, I see there are 20 year olds playing this game so how did they get here. The total incredulity with which you characterize things is nothing but hyperbole. You want to shock and get people upset by your words. But when any sane person reads your rant they will just laugh at the total sky is falling attitude. It's so bad here who would be stupid enough to stay and continue to punish themselves over game play. Well obviously YOU. So miserable it's so funny.

This forum has degraded beyond words, there is no moderation and there really needs to be. The hyperbole is through the roof and when you are able to find a post with well thought out ideas or suggestions it gets hyjacked by people who seek attention. It totally amazes me how some people are so bored and miserable they come to a gaming forum to take out their frustrations on others. Stop using these forums as therapy for a unhappy life.

I am 32. My first MMO was Flyff, I played WoW up to Burning Crusade, met my wife in GW2 and I delved a little in ESO until Summerset and played Lost Ark at launch and left when I saw the scam it was. You can guess I actually really like MMOs.

Go any day, enter party finder, take a screenshot, and help us count how many Venue/ERP ads are there compared to actual parties. Go to the subreddit and check the AFK at Limsa threads, or go to Limsa yourself. Also, how many other MMO communities have used real life billboard ads to promote clubs or have an ERP scene so prevalent that content creators have interviewed virtual sex workers?

I mean, even the subreddit, the one place where criticism is almost always downvoted, has started upvoting state of the game discussions and comments. And no need to be a condescending arse because you sure look as bad as some of the most toxic people in the forum. My criticism wasn't aimed at no user in particular, yours does.
