I remember why I don't get on forums

[Kozh]

I rather have this type of forum rather than the gcbtw fest that is reddit or ff14 discord server, where saying anything slightly negative(and god forbid if it's story related) will get you jumped.

Yes, if you only read the forum, you would think 90% of the playerbase hates the game. But when you play the game and see the novice chat or your fc / cwls chats, you will see that most people still enjoy the game.

Now I remember why I don't do forums and play solo as much as possible....

Too much unhappiness, unthankfulness and meanness.

Have a good time everyone I will be playing the game to relax and unwind.

People don't come here to talk about what they enjoy. They come here when they have a complaint. And lemmi tell ya there are people here who have nothing but complaints. Try and ask some of these people what they actually like about the game and they have no answer.

Thanks for sharing on the forums the reason why you don't peruse the forums. Very helpful!

The two most loyal subscribers of FFXIV: roleplayers, and those who hate the game.

The problem with these forums is it's full of trolls and nasty people. You can't have any opinions or discussions without someone coming in and insulting people for it, every thread about any gameplay aspect somehows devolves into "Casuals vs Hardcore" and most people here have the maturity age of a toddler.

Really shows people in game are only nice because they have to be or they'd get banned, anywhere else it's just as bad as any online game. At least in other games you get to deal with straight up just toxic people, in this community it's all subtle and acting all smug and superior, threading the needle as it were.

Yeah, pretty much.
Though I do also suspect that some people on the forums get enjoyment out of riling others up to try and bait them into saying something that is reportable.

Probably so, yeah.
