But aren’t we all part of this community? Our approach can change, even if it’s just our own.

If all we are doing is shouting at a wall... then at least we'll have the dignity of doing our best. Not shouting for shouting sake.
Come on you believe in the game you want it to succeed I know you do! You wouldn't be here if you didn't believe like I do.

I have no problem with the community. Some people shitpost, some are more blunt about their opinion than others, doesn't matter to me tbh. I still meet a lot of nice people in the game and the player events are super sweet. But I also notice how this community feeling is roping me into the game when I really don't think the subscription fee is worth it. I personally do not want to play the game only because there are some nice people. I don't need a sub just to chat in Limsa.

To be fair, SE does a good job taking harassment seriously. I rarely run into rageplayers in duty finder because of the strict ToS. That's good. But that's just not enough. I do think if players are mad about the state of the game, they should express themselves as they please in their own words. I don't think that discussing semantics is relevant for the point they are trying to make.

In the end, community management is an actual job and if SE wants a happy community, they should put someone into that role and take care of that. A community manager communicating with us, collecting opinions, updating us about the development of the game etc. would solve A LOT of problems.

This would be the ideal solution, I 100% agree with you. We used to have this, and the forums were a much more peaceful place. We knew the XIV employees were listening.
