I’m realizing now having read all your comments that my use of the word “friendship” has obfuscated the issue. Many of you have shared anecdotes of in game connections that bloom into real-life friendships. Some of you may even have found significant others here. This was never under contention.

I’m speaking more to cohesion, culture and camaraderie. So many of you have challenged the notion that bonds are forged under pressure. I think you’re young and naive.**snippage of FFXI (and UO) rose tinted nostalgia**
I get it, they’re not for everyone and maybe not even for me anymore**snip**
I think I get it now. You want FFXIV to be FFXI, but it's not, and you don't like that. You could have just said that at the beginning.
