Lets Set a Positive Tone!

[AarosLunos]

Since the launch of XIV the fan sites have been filled with negative posts. While I wholeheartedly understand why people have felt let down by the poor launch. . .the community here needs to maintain a more positive outlook. I have lurked numerous fan site forums and the biggest issue that I have noticed is overwhelming negative complaining without helpful constructive criticism.

I can full understand why people have been upset. But lets face it, the levels of negativity that exists on the fan sites is actually eroding the community and the potential future success of the game.

If we want to see the game and community survive and thrive we should maybe pursue a more professional decorum. I think SE will more likely listen to feedback from those that actually have constructive ideas as opposed to flame wars and trolling.

I have plenty of patience, and above all as a player I am willing to contribute in a positive and meaningful manner to help SE correct current problems. I just hope that others who are angered or upset can see my points.

I agree. I definitely encourage people to say the issues that they may have. Just hope that people can be mature when stating their issues.

One of the first things I either wanted to post or see someone else post.

Hi,

I am going to be taking a critical, but constructive approach to the forums, but it will be interesting to see how this pans out. I think there will be some anger here, at least at first, that will need to be expressed towards the game, but there will also be optimism and looking towards the future.

Thank you for the forums dev team.

This is good to have, with a positive attitude it keeps people coming back to the forums and sets a good tone for people wondering what the actual community is like. If we have a good community we will have a fun 10 years playing this game xD

I am all for the positive appraoch to things.
Here is hoping to some real, mature conversations, and hopefuly some real moderation on these forums to keep out potential trolls!

And Lets also keep a promise to not reply to the same tired conversations that we've been dealing with in the fan sites! I'm happy for the new breath and blood that these forums will bring and hopefully we will get some real, respectable discussion here.

Agreed. People are going to try to make a mess of this for entertainment. It's up to the players to keep it from happening.

Good post AarosLunos, and it sets the tone to what this forum should be.

let's hope that things stay nice for quite a while, and that the anger doesn't over-run the community, though I think actually needing to own FFXIV to post here will keep trolls down to a minimum.

I am also all about a positive tone for the forums, but if players have a well thought out reason to post something that will critisize the game and make a legitimate subject for discussion, then I'm all for that too, thats what the forums are all about ^.^
