Why is the FF14 Community So Adverse to Banter?

[JohnLakeside]

Hello stranger.

I've been gaming online for at least 20 years, and for at least half of that time I've found this type of speech not funny, or clever, or offensive, but merely rude and juvenile. I simply don't care to deal with it anymore. Your tact seems awful, and your "banter" very low brow.

Frankly, this is the only vibe I get:

I find it ironic that the ones who portend to be all about being nice, mature, and civil are almost always the one start throwing around personal insults wahahahaha. Call it "low brow" if you want, but theres some merit in being able to laugh at yourself. Your comment also illustrates my point.

“Sit lol” is incredibly mild banter, yet somehow we’ve gone from “I don’t enjoy that kind of banter” to making judgments about my maturity and character. Lets have some fun, yall !
