Getting out of hand

[Daniolaut]

This player base is getting out of hand.

Party finder is littered with

-Content Sellers.
Which is a direct violation of the terms of service. Both for RMT, as well as account data sharing.

-Advertisements in party finder.
People constantly using party finder for selling art, "porn" and advertising opinions (not game related) as well as discord servers.

-Forums.
The forums have almost always been pretty bad, but literally, this person recently posts about "raids becoming less optional." Instead of discussing how content is becoming less optional the thread is hijacked by people saying Alliance raids are not raids. Like seriously? Who cares, the person didnt say "alliance raids are too hard" they said, that its no longer an option. Which if you want to do just the story, you should be able to. Nothing else is forced on you. You dont have to do FATEs, or Leves, or crafting to complete the story. Imagine if everything became required to complete to progress the story. I bet you'd all be complaining. Imagine end game raiders being forced to get all max level crafters and participate in Ishgard restoration, and Eureka just to unlock a raid, you'd all be crying to no end. You all complain having to do the story in the first place already.

-Development team.
Even the dev team doesnt care anymore. The NPCs all turn, laugh, wave, at the exact same time like sync'd robots, and every roulette is the same thing over and over, cause they cant be bothered to make more content. Its been 7 years and we've only gotten 2 Grand Company ranks, and dont get anymore battle leves, only one dungeon per patch, but we keep getting job and now crafter and gatheirng revamps. Like is the game suffereing that bad that none of the jobs or classes are balanced or fun, they have to completely remake every job and class every expansion? Who is even asking for these changes?

Seriously.

And GM's dont do a single thing to combat these crazy party finders. Its only going to get worse.

Cant wait till this game stops releasing expansions so the playerbase gets back to people who actually care about the game, and arent here to exploit it.


Anyways, I hope everyone is having a grand time.
I do, so long as I stay away from party finder.

Would be nice to get double the blacklist size. Thanks.

You need to just take a break from this game as it seems like you're causing your own misery at this point.

Great community might be not that great
Someone already telling you to unsub, that's golden.

[Mostly_Raxus]

the level of entitlement in this post is breathtaking..

[Lunalepsy]

It's been like this as far as I can remember. Hang in there!

[Amnmaat]

While I don't agree on the bit about the devs I agree on the other points.
Gil selling should be looked into more, as well as content sellers in party finder selling ALL kinds of things. Very serious issue
The part about the forum, yeah its personal attacks reputation is legendary.

More like someone looked at OP's post history and put two and two together. But you do you hun.

So let just go down the list of things you say.
1. For it to be RMT, it has to be with real money... Of which there's no proof and thus nothing for the GMs to moderate.
2. Like what or for what? And you know it's not porn so used quotation marks.
3. That's not even released content and isn't officially addressed. Also the title is counter norm and thus addressing the problem is well within reason.
4. So you are saying NPCs are acting oddly? I find that hard to believe.
5. Is such a minor thing as grand company progressing matter that much to make such a grandiose statement?
6. Battle leves where stopped for good reasons.
7. The revamps gotta come from somewhere and combat revamps aren't major ones and are mostly updates in expansions.
8. Why do you have some many on blacklist?

I am entirely convinced OP is a troll.

Punishing people for the use of bad language is much easier than taking the steps required to seriously investigate the flow of dirty money that comes about through selling content clears. Your best bet to get anything accomplished is to petition your country's respective politicians to take financial crime found in gaming communities as something to pursue.

In the meantime, a blanket ban on advertisements that direct players to discuss boosts through third party sites/chat services would be a decent way to help alleviate the issue - but I suspect that this thread will attract players who insist on downplaying the problems raised within this thread.
