On behalf of myself

I've literally seen people argue with someone else siding with them on a subject...I don't get it.

Those are fun to watch

miscommunication ftl

Let me tell you i dislike the forums because now SE would make the game on 30-40people on here and make it casual but i have hope that they make the game how they think it should be.

Of course they will make the game how they see fit...but maybe they aren't making it how you see fit? SE hasn't really listened to many people on the forums to move forward with this game - hardly anyone said anything about a job system, hardly anyone said anything about the specifics of content (companies). They aren't "casualizing" the game, they are making the game they see fit for a profit, that's it. The forums are in place to take in some ideas, sure, but mainly the "givens" such as Chocobos (or mounts), such as "we want content", such as the small stuff like "fix the market wards"...but they aren't coming in here to do something drastic like full blown airship battles, for instance, unless they already plan on it. At the end of the day SE decides what to do with the game and the voice of a few gamers on a message board is hardly a catalyst.

With all honesty this community sucks. I never enjoy myself on here, I have never been in any topic where people aren't arguing, nothing is civil about it...in fact if we all met in person and we all had pitchforks only one of us is walking away alive. Its horrible. Everyone is so serious about a video game and everyone argues everything whether or not they even agree with it. I've literally seen people argue with someone else siding with them on a subject...I don't get it.

I know i'm guity of this, but mack is 1000000% true. And i've said this to ffxivcore.com and ffxiv zam. FYI I was ban for liking them game, and reporting people who insulted anything I said by going after my spelling and grammar issues I have no control over. I was told I was censoring people. And one mod laughed at me for bringing up cyber bullying.

I thought I recognized that posting style. You were telling people how to play a game(XIV) that you didn't even play yourself. Guess that explains that banner/sig too...

*sneaks up and stabs you with a pitchfork*

HA!... My work here is done...

And one mod laughed at me for bringing up cyber bullying.

Please stop, your going to give a heart attack, this is just to hilarious.

Wait, people can complain about other people, but people can't complain about other people?
Or is people having a fuss with other people while other people like to fuss other people and...

A rant by me...

Hello, today I would like to share with you some of my thoughts! Over the past few weeks, I have been seeing some things that have really annoyed me! Some people seem to think that they know everything and they are the Messiah of all things FFXIV. Maybe that is a bit over-dramatic, but you get my point.

These are the things that are on my mind:

Need does indeed not equal want.

While this is true, who are any of you to say what this game needs? Are you a professional game developer for a triple A company? These very forums were created for suggestions and feedback, everything you post on here is a want and not a need, we do not need anything, not a single thing you post. Sure, this game may flop, but that is the point I am trying to make. Taking in suggestions is what is making this game turn out to be better, gradually.

Please don't tell me that things aren't needed, you can argue any and every suggestion on these forums is not something that is needed. Wants, not needs are what is going to make this game better. The only "need" is player feedback and suggestions.

Yes, it's true, this is Final Fantasy XIV and not any other MMO.

So you've played other MMOs? Five? Ten? Twenty? Just because you don't like something in one MMO doesn't mean that SE can't make it work in this game in a way that everyone can enjoy. Let's take the jump war for example. Some people are for it, some are against it. While I agree that jumping isn't something that is required right this very moment, we have been given no details about it at all, only that they will be evaluating it. Why don't you wait until they give us some details before you start prophesying the end of the world. Have some faith in the game developer we all love.

I speak for myself. "We" equates to yourself alone.

Seriously, I make my own decisions, I am the only one that speaks for myself. So please, stop acting as if you are the voice of the entire community, you aren't. Some people may agree with you, sure, but there are those that disagree with you as well. When you claim to be the voice of the community or even a large group/majority of players, to me, you look arrogant and ignorant.

Facts are separate from opinions.

I simply love it when people preach their own opinions as facts. Not. Such as, what will make this game fun. Again, who are you to say what will make this game more fun? Your opinion is your own, and you don't speak for the entire community. Different people get their kicks off different things. This is a MMO, something designed to attract a variety of people from different backgrounds, and that, in turn, have different tastes. Sorry if that offends you, but its the reality of not even MMOs, but the internet and even the world in general.

____________________________________

This is by no means a personal attack against anyone. I am just tired of people assuming they know whats best for me and for the game I love and would love even more to see improved.

No single person will make this game amazing, it takes everyone, from the developers to the community.

Thank you for reading, sorry if I have offended you in any way. These are my own opinions, and you are free to criticize me as much as you want, though I may just bite back.

This thread may get spammed with reports, and it may get taken down. That doesn't really bother me, as long as I can get this out to a few people.

Look these words up, then read your post.

Pretentious.
ostentatious.
Bloviate.

I never said people can't complain ^_^ The message I was trying to convey was a: when you say you are speaking for the community, you aren't b: I find it annoying when people assume they know for a fact what should and shouldn't be done for the game, and everyone else is wrong c: have some faith in SE, since they make the final decision on what goes into the game

:P

You can nit-pick at what I say all day long, this is actually a better overall response than I had expected!

Thanks for all your thoughts!

Edit: Oh, and I don't have time to look up the words you found on your online thesaurus, maybe later though ^_^
