Why do we have to dwell on meaningless issues?

[Ingolf]

Do you want a community where you feel welcome, even embraced? Where people have your back in general and you have theirs? It's not going to happen if we continue in this downward spiral of nitpicking.

We're tearing our community apart by arguing over the most inane crap imaginable. It's not a legal requirement to be contrary about everything while using the internet. If you disagree with someone, think about how important the issue really is, consider letting it slide. Nobody wants to play an MMO full of assholes who object to anything and everything - it's easier to go play a single player game. We all have the potential to not be an asshole. Seize it today. SE is doing their part, so do yours and make ARR a better place.

These are forums, we debate here.

That doesn't necessarily mean we're going to be an asshole in game and scream in shout about everything we hate.

If we followed your mindset of just letting everything slide then there would be no point in forums, nor would there be any point in devs asking for feedback.

This seems a bit hypocritical if I do say. You are saying that these people ranting about sexism and same sex marriage have an ok, but the OP here doesn't?

This thread does not pertain to feedback on the game as it only complains about other threads and thus has no place.

I think debate is fine. I was just talking about nitpicking, people getting riled over tiny issues, and in general people taking debate to a personal level. It's reached a point in these forums where people seem to be looking for a fight and it's hard to say anything without someone throwing in an objection.

And not everything has to be a debate. Debate in most cases seems to devolve into argument. It's really easy to kill an upbeat thread by finding some little thing to nitpick at. Soon half the thread will be full of people flailing at each other.

The thing is... What you define as nitpicking isn't necessarily what everyone defines as nitpicking.

I dislike that there's no turning animations in ARR. If this isn't important to someone they will see it as nitpicking. I see it as a real issue worth debate.

OK I GOT AN IDEA SINCE WE CANT AGREE ON THESE TOPICS - NO MARRIAGES AND NO MORE GEAR THAT LOOKS LIKE U CAN FAP TO IT - END OF STORY. its amazing how people can literally find nothing better to do. Its that old saying 1 bad apple spoils a bunch then leave out such content. That way its all equal and some of us can stop crying geez.

You made so many fappers sad - but I love armor that doesnt look like fap material (male or female).

What an inspired post. Instead of tackling the problem and talking about it we'll just remove it.

You're a true visionary.

I wholeheartedly disagree. His concerns are that people try and focus on the game itself and less on the little nitpick details. He has made many statements that coincides with XIV, and speaks of a community where this really shouldn't be that big of a deal. You trying to belittle his opinion is more of something that doesn't have a place.

The point he was getting across was that all these things are not that important when it comes to the game, and honestly, it isn't. Do you think male characters are pissed off that when they wear a subligar it doesn't represent their accurate size of their penis? Seriously, the sexism and marriage agenda is just poppycock.
