Nobody has signatures in the JP forums

I think signatures are mostly a way for people to display their uniqueness. It doesn't have to be informative or even related to the game at all. It is what it is; a form of showing yourself off in a way. JP's probably don't do it as much because culturally trying to be a unique and beautiful flower is a less admirable trait for them overall.

If I used signatures I use on other sites I don't think people would appreciate them too much.

Well yeah, but only to a degree. Like I keep seeing some on here with a cat playing in their sig. It's clearly not related to FFXIV at all, but it doesn't make me think they should remove it and replace it with something related. In that same way, if you were to use one of those other sigs, it wouldn't make me furrow my brows.Maybe you just wanted to show that you play such and such other game.

I see a popular trend is to have your jobs, nation, etc. there. When it gets to be like that, it's just redundant to me.

So overall, to each his own? If it works for you do it. You may be surprised to see that people notice sigs and if it's not related to this game you may have some other game/thing in common with another player. That's mostly what I mean.

Most people in the US have limits. Telecom has an unreasonable chokehold on everything. It's funny having 4G on your phone but only being able to use its full power for a short while otherwise you're over the limit.

I try to keep mine smaller now, but I deal with unsightly and large signatures by adblock plusing them.
