Getting out of hand

[RareItems]

Try playing Black Desert Online for a few months. You'll quickly realize FFXIV is not so bad xD.

You have a few points here, but some of the other things you're complaining about are just rather silly. NPCs using emotes at the same time? Seriously? Is that even something worth the time to get upset about?

I disagree.

Game is awesome...still.
Community is awesome...still.

I suppose it reflects the state of the community rather well when the tone of someone's post is of greater concern than the horrid cheating and scamming that has come to infest the game itself.

If I wanted to be taken seriously, I would start by not creating "serious" post from a lvl 1 alt. That just screams troll/coward.

I can't say I blame the OP entirely for that. I've had death threats sent my way from members of this community for liking and disliking specific canon characters - so I dread to think what someone challenging criminal activity within the game would face.

I don't think run sellers come to the official forums to be fair, let alone the people running the scams beyond to check how the forum id is spelled before going off to make their spoofed links. That said I also really can't blame people for not using a character associated with their real one given that there are specific twitter handles that quote 'bad posts' from this forum and not all their callouts are innocuous.

Insert bad apples quote
I wonder when people shifted from "this is a game I like" to just worshipping it. Where unsub therapists when they really needed? Or they're just part of the cult.

it’s wild how no ones addressing a lot of the post critically, most of the replies just boiled down to “it’s not a problem, deal with it or unsub” or “your a troll for wanting this game you pay for to be better”

it’s scary how common this is, on both the forums and reddit

If you really want discuss the game without mobs repeating same things over and over, there's some good Reddit about that. Mainsub is not a good place to talk about the state of the game, that place filled with fanatics, NPC, people using it as personal blog and some arts here and there.
Forums nowadays is more fitting about complaining and sharing your thoughts, at least some part of community reacts and discuss problems before thread will be flooded with unsub therapists and apologists, trying to shut up everyone who have different opinions.
