My problem with leveling up in FFXIV.

[Harmonea]

I was just saying after working all day and only having a short amount of time it didn't feel like I was actively engaged enough. All my time spent playing was reading and traveling around to talk to people. I know it's part of an MMO but I didn't feel engaged. I was simply curious if everyone else felt the same way or if it was just me.

Whats amazing to me is that this topic has gone on for so long and that people are so attached to this game that they feel the need to defend it the way they do. It's odd to me and I would have never expected this topic to go the direction it did.

Many people have responded that they agree with you. Many others have responded that they don't agree with you. You've received advice going both ways, from "it gets better" to "mix things up" to "maybe not the game for you."

Are you really so "amazed" that you received posts that say things other than "yes, I agree"....? On a public discussion forum, you expected people to stick within your narrow boundaries of acceptable responses?

We get it; you work. Most of us do, you know that right? And different people enjoy different things to unwind after a day of work. I'm the sort who wouldn't mind curling up with a book, and I'm in love with the carefully crafted world of FFXIV. I look forward to a day of "traveling and reading" (aka new MSQ) more than anything else in this game. You don't, and that's fine; you might like endgame more if you can get yourself there, with all content open to you and two worlds full of action packed choices of activities for your meager free time.

Though based on your responses in this thread to people who dare suggest you might better enjoy your time if you don't bother... I hope not to bump in to you if that time ever comes.

"narrow boundaries of acceptable responses"?
lol...no. What an ridiculous comment. I have no issue with different opinions, that's part of forums. But when you purposely twist what someone said to justify being rude... I'm not ok with that. What I'm amazed about is that people get so defensive about childish things such as calling the ffxiv "mascot" a chicken. Or taking a quote completely out of context to fit their rude behavior.
A lot of people disagree with me and that's ok. I get it...we are all different. Others on the other hand just look for an opportunity to take jabs.

Your complaining about rudeness while at the same time throwing insults Harmonea and me. You don't have to do that.

I prefer not to go on replying to you. I in no way regret the rude comments I made to you as you deserved it. You're dishonest and you spin things to make yourself the victim like your doing now. There are people like you in every forum...toxic. I'll let you have the last word if you feel the need but I'll most likely not reply back.
