As far as BG, these threads do exist, have existed, will exist. The difference is people have a discussion about how games aren't supposed to be fuck you RNG systems which promote no lifing as a way to get gear; rather that games should promote skill and challenging content while using other systems (such as longer raid timers) to prolong the length of the quest.

If you think anyone at BG finds owning relics a challenge, they do not. A relic in XI was never a challenge at any point - all it took was money, and that's an easy reward for someone who wants to farm/craft/fishbot a lot and enter Dynamis 3 times to get their finished weapon.

Any Salvage thread was filled with "This system is dumb" "We don't even get a chance to fight the NM (Bhaflau)" "My group is 0/300 on Ares/Machas body" "We just got double Bodb's Cuffs from LAC again" etc.

Any Voidwatch thread is filled with "This system is dumb" "The guy next to me got the same item 3/6 fights" "Why is there no progression in this content" "I am 0/600 on my Toci's Harness" etc.

In fact, the vast majority of people support systems that reward progression of some form over all out RNG systems. (Not RNG progression like totems) For example, win 40 runs in AV, pick 1 piece of Darklight. This type of system actually makes content more accessible because if you are in a linkshell running 17/25m clears with ease, there is also incentive to help PUGs because while you may not get to roll on your Corselet because you won't 25m or less, you'll still get that item which lets you pick a piece of gear after however many wins.

tl;dr
Chumming up to a website and pretending it is like-minded to you is fairly ignorant.
Ooooh. I see what happened here. You're a BG poster and got all forum territorial with your panties in a bunch when I said I don't remember BG being full of "QQ it's too hard" or "elitiz vrs casual" threads.
Sorry to burst your bubble but BG is not full of "relevant information" lol.

You're not one of those people who believe if they have 463,283,284 posts on BG they're some kind of authority on all things Final Fantasy, right? Because that would be pretty embarrassing.
