Please Be Careful of this thread.

I'm sorry you had an unpleasant experience with some of our member Vydarr Tyr of Hyperion! We do our best to have a friendly and helpful community!

Please let me know if there's anything I can answer for you.

I appreciate the response. I understand you're a large FC, and presumably have some bad apples. And even good apples occasionally have bad days. But I see that all of those people are still in your FC, so I assume you chose not to do anything about their behavior. That's unfortunate.

I've been saying since 1.0 that the community is the best thing about FFXIV. But that was the single worst experience I've had in FFXIV. When both other groups are forced to quit because of the abuse from 1 particular group, then that's saying something.

If you have any questions for me, I'd be happy to answer them, either here on these forums or elsewhere.

I ran with a group of Something Awful gamers in Rift [Everything is Fine] who took the same stance that has been described here. I have nothing bad to say about them I had a lot of fun and they were all very skilled gamers. I think that anyone who is affiliated with SA gets profiled as a troll just for having a clan tag that falls under that sites umbrella and it’s often NOT the case more times than it is, at least in my experience.

That’s not to say that every grouip doesn’t have its trolls, I have run into an equal number of them from guilds NOT affiliated with SA (in several games not just XIV) as I have who were. I’m not here to defend them as I don’t know anyone in PBC, but I have had good experiences with SA guilds in the past and I thought it would be relevant to chime in with that to this thread.

I would pose this question to “BigDawg” however.

If Lady Gaga has NOT been affiliated with PBC or any other Something Awful group of gamers, would you have been as quick to shout “troll” or would you be more patient and maybe tried to help the player or the situation in a different manner?

I thought you guys practically had a full FC. Why would you need to recruit?

I am sorry but i have also ran CT with Lady Gaga and he/she is everything everyone is saying and more, actually you guys being such a big FC do have a lot of bad apples i have not had good experiences with a large amount of your members including the leader. Just saying ^^ Grats on the house btw.

We don't. Not sure where you got that idea from.

I'm kind of confused by this one myself to be honest. Apparently no one wants to have a friendly chat and the world forums are only for recruiting or something, I guess?

PBC has pretty strict rules but we also don't kick people for one night of bad behavior, people have off days and with a group this large we can't really afford to be un-christian or vengeful.
