Legacy Icon on forums

I guess the general consensus is, the next time a lsmember logs on and goes "I got my email, i'm a legacy member!", we should clearly remind him, that he is not better then anyone, whatever he has to say has no higher value then anyone else, and that he already has enough benefits going for him. Serious business And when you see that Legacy chocobo running past you in 2.0, flip him the bird

I honestly think that will happen at least to a few people here hahaha.

Kluya switched to legacy chocobo.
Party leader asks where Kluya got this unique boco.
Kluya says politely a one time deal that has expired called legacy.
Kluya was ousted from party.

I imagine new players that find out about it will be discontent on hearing "you can't touch this" and having heard a lot of current players talking about legacy I'm sure they will fan the flames by showing it off. Humbleness doesnt seem to be a strong trait in at least the vocal ones here lol.

Oh ok, I kind of misunderstood you.

Yeah I'm with you in that sense, I dislike the "THIS IS MINE, EXCLUSIVE, DON'T TOUCH THIS" mentality that goes on sometimes, like most recently when some threads were wondering if the Legacy deadline had been extended and a number of people were almost offended that some new players could possibly manage to squeeze into Legacy this late. It's a bit ridiculous really.

(Not pointing anyone out, I felt besides the initial image*OP was very polite in their inquiry. *The image size is likely due to the fact they didnt want to take the time to make a realistic sized sig, but just wanted to make a point.)

I was being sarcastic, but yeah it was referred to the sig size, not the fact that it points out OP is in legacy status. Big sigs in general are annoying, regardless of content.

Oh come on, you don't have to get all angry or take this personally because some people disagreed with you. No one is claiming people in legacy can claim superiority over anything or be right all the time or any of that nonsense. And the people who are, are being sarcastic. It's just some humor man.

The problem is not an individual's pride in being a Legacy member. We all want FFXIV to have the best community possible and have a comfortable environment for everyone to play in. I already see people disparage others' opinions because they have a low post count or because they only have a level 30 Class. Having pride in their accomplishments is everyone's right. By the same token, though, if the source of that pride is used as a status symbol to hold over others, it transforms into something else entirely.

We Legacy players have many, many things going for us. And while I don't particularly feel strongly one way or the other about a legacy icon on the Forums, you are taking the criticisms here too lightly. They are legitimate concerns.
