Embracing Diversity: A Belated 10th Anniversary Reflection

[OdinelStarrei]

I appreciate the time and effort you have taken to write this wonderous piece on how we could use more diversity within this game. I do not believe we need to increase the amount of hardcore players though. This game needs to focus on being made more accessible. I want my friends and my friend's friends to be able to play this game with ease. Anyone that desires it should be able to enjoy the wide variety of content present in this expansive game. Thankfully Square Enix seems to have shown an interest in continuing to make the game more approachable and enjoyable for all.

It's one thing to necro threads. Fanning the embers of dying flames. It's another thing to deliberately antagonize other people. I get that, it can be funny to make people angry.

What I don't understand, is why you would go out of your way to deliberately make a post like this, on a topic someone obviously put time, effort, and consideration into with sources, without stooping to the level of insulting others or championing further division, but instead promoting and celebrating the idea of an MMO ecosystem. I am somewhat convinced you aren't the usual suspects, or at least, not a version of them seen before, as even in the most baiting of threads, they were not this particular skew of consistently callous, insidious, or masturbatory.

If the interactions between users are no longer seen as in being in good faith or even legitimate without the undercurrent of malice or contempt, what is the point of even having a community in the first place?
This is a rare, great post. Can't you at least do this somewhere else?
