Was this a Blatant Lie?

[Sinstrel]

This is manifestly untrue, as evidenced by the number of "experienced and insightful" players who have joined these forums within the last few months.

I'd add that the signal-to-noise on these boards is far higher than the Discord echo chambers, which seem to be used as venues to point-and-laugh at the stupid, outsider PvPers (that they need to populate games), interspersed with dodgy gifs and anime. Maybe someone could provide a gif of the Smug Cloud from South Park?

Unfortunately, different PvP sub-communities have incompatible goals, thereby making it far more difficult to lobby for important changes. The new hit detection fiasco, for example, makes Frontline borderline unplayable. And we're likely stuck with it for 2-3 years. At least those who keep playing are.

You're probably right, I just speak from my own experience and why I seldom post on these forums. I'm not part of any of the discords so I haven't got a clue whats going on on them to tell you otherwise. Or the latest PvP discord drama vs Forums drama. The last PvP discord I was part of was PvPaissa but theyve shut down years ago and consolodated their stuff somewhere else I beleive.

I have been on the forums more so in recent days because I've recently picked PvP up again and was thinking of sharing everything I knew in some guides but wanted to get an idea of how people were thinking about this game first and the pain points they experience.

I'd be very interested in such guides. Your historical and technical knowledge of FF14 PvP is apparent in your posts.
