question about reddit ffxiv state of game

[Remus]

Wow what's with the reddit hate on here? I honestly find reddit better than the official forums. Just don't take everything on reddit as fact the same way you would on the official forums if someone made a thread saying something that isn't confirmed.

Also I will be honest with you the sub numbers are not as high as you think. I would say its in the 400k-500k range and that's being generous. It will increase with the expansion but drop again quite quickly. It's not really being doomsayers but looking at the game realistically based on some data people have gathered. The data isn't from SE so you can't say its official but its the closest thing to active players of some form pulling data from the lodestone.

If you don't see a source on the post then don't believe it straight away. Most of the time people would put a source with it to prove what they say.

Also generally you get information faster due to people looking at the JP forums quite often ;D

...The FFXIV subreddit has plenty of its own issues, some which are reddit-as-a-whole, some which are specific to that particular community...

Gimme a brocheck.

Reddit is like every communication platform, everyone can put his mind on it. You will find salty people but also great and invest people on the community.
Most of them are just players that enjoy the game like you and me...

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing.

Mostly I was just being silly, but... You know... Easy target is easy.

Most internet forums you need a good dose of skepticism, especially when people start throwing numbers and emulating Chicken Little, even these forums. It's just that Reddit is particularly known (stereotypical as it may be) for calling most any drop in sub numbers the "downfall of the game as a whole."

Moral of the story, "Welcome to the Internet and be mindful of which cake you decide to eat lest you choose the wrong one."

My opinion is that, there a lot more games now to be played than when Arr was launched.
Most of the ps4 users have a lot of exclusive games so i imagine many of them cancel their sub and will comeback with the new expansion.
I would imagine this will happen again when games like destiny 2 gets launched.
MMORPG games are prone to this.

In 1996 I made a better looking website on Angelfire using a small guide out of a GamePro magazine for HTML and random images I found on the net.

If they could get a proper webdesigner for formatting, I may consider using it. But it looks like a convoluted bit of trash. This goes for all of Reddit, not just the FFXIV one.
