I don’t think that you should not post on the forums due to receiving some backlash — I can’t specifically speak on it because I haven’t read your thread on Zenos, but I don’t think it’s a crime to try and find positives about Stormblood. While I feel like the expansion is a reskinned Heavensward, and I do have my own series of complaints about it, I do offer praise about some of the things it has introduced: Ultimate was amazing, I really love Alphascape as a tier, V12 may be my absolute favorite Savage fight, BRD AF gear this expansion is probably the most gorgeous ever released for the job (same with AST), etc..

You’re allowed to find things decent about Stormblood—yes, even Eureka, because I know that some people enjoy it. I personally don’t, but that’s my opinion just as much as theirs is their opinion. It’s only a problem when one blindly defends things on the sole premise of “these developers can do no wrong, and Yoshida is a god”, completely ignoring the glaringly bad aspects of things and acting like it’s the best thing since sliced bread (and yes, there are some people like that on here).

Sometimes, posters can come off as abrasive, especially if it’s in a topic they’re passionate about. I can be that way sometimes. And I have butted heads with quite a few people on here, and not always civilly. I just take small breaks from the forums when I get frustrated with them; I don’t stop posting entirely. And I’d recommend you try doing the same. Because, otherwise, how are your opinions going to be heard? Because occasionally, some topics are forwarded on to the main development team (a lot of the complaints about housing back and 4.1 garnered attention from them, to give an example).
