I would love to be a part of these dream forums of which you describe! I am not usually a big endorser of acting mature or anything, but if our forum goers were friendly, constructive, and a little civil, we could get a lot more people from in game on here, once in a while, and giving their feedback as well.

But this is a forum for a game which anyone teen and up can play and post on. Someone that doesn't act in a way that I feel is ideal still has as much right to be here and play as I do. The best some of us can do is ignore them and lead by example in my opinion.

Kinda funny though, anytime I meet someone in real life that plays XIV (not that it is common right now ) we feel a kinship and become insta-friends lol. And here I am surrounded 100% by fellow XIV'ers and so many people are just nasty to each other. Perhaps funny is not the word i was looking for

but yes, great post OP. TY for saying what lots of us are thinking
