Lets Set a Positive Tone!

[Suirieko]

I agree, it's been pretty tough dealing with the negativity over at the FFXIVCore, I'm really looking forward to seeing a more positive attitude toward the game, just to be optimistic. I understand the disappointment (hell I'm disappointed too but I'm hopeful >.>)

[Aramil]

I agree, a positive tone would be nice. Sure we can criticize and stuff like that but there's no need to do it in a whiny or troll tone.

[AreeyaJaidee]

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 ^.^

MUCH love Baby Cakin~! I agree whole heartedly

[BelgianRofl]

Yes. Let's tell SE that everything about FFXIV is good so they can rush out the PS3 launch! The goal here is to make sure that the big reviewers give the game a 6/10 this time, right?

[Neko_Yanagi]

I agree wholeheartedly! The negativity felt in many fan sites often has me turning away from them. I honestly hope that people will treat these forums with the respect it deserves. After all, we are all players, and in essence, we make the game what it is. If all we ever do is complain in a nonconstructive manner, we will never see the constructive changes to the game that we all hope for.

With much <3,

I do agree, the negativity does set a quite dismal atmosphere across the game and other forums. working together and building a great community, sharing those great experiences and knowledge, that's what i am here for ^^.

When you think positively then good things happen, and so far, these forums are doing good

I see you're one of the angry ones. That is fine you can be angry, but that doesn't mean you have to be bitter to post constructive criticism. I'm not aiming for the devs to rush things. I'm aiming to set a more professional tone so players who are concerned about the future of XIV can have mature meaningful discussions (even better if the dev team ever chimes in).

Having a positive attitude doesn't make us apologists and don't let anyone tell you that you are. Part of discussion is letting in different criticisms, but then subjecting those criticisms to rigorous scrutiny. The person who brings up such criticisms also needs to be willing to scrutinize themselves.

AarosLunos, allow me to introduce you to BelgianRofl; the biggest troll on Besaid. Having a positive attitude doesn't mean I can't call him out on that.

So glad we're getting these posts in right out of the gate, it took forever to get done on the Alpha/Beta boards.

Constructive criticism is exactly what they need, it's why we've been asked to give input on future changes, and why these boards are in place. If you have an issue with something, and have a good reason for said issue which you can articulate maturely and without malice, by all means make it known.
