Lets talk about the FFXIV player base..

[Destin_Valiant]

Is it just me or the players here are kinda sensitive and also not that good? Been playing the game since last fall and what I am noticing is that the players playing the game are not that good and they get easily butthurt when being criticized? Are all of these people just new to the genre or something? I've played many mmorpg games in my life and this one got me scratching my head sometime.

Are you including yourself in this?

[Destin_Valiant]

Yeah I'm pretty bad myself..

I didn't know this was just a FFXIV playerbase problem.

I dunno. I can't think of many other games with communities that outright refuse to get better or do the minimum the game allows you to do. That sorta selfishness on FFXIV's level is a unique bar that no other team games have been able to reach thus far.

I guess the rest of the world is getting along perfectly then and can handle any criticism on any and all topics.

Since you're apparently unaware, games and their communities can have both positive and negative aspects. Just because other games have other problems elsewhere does not mean that FFXIV's problems are suddenly negated.

This brings up another good point: Many in this community will defend the game from any criticism, regardless of how valid or invalid that criticism is. How can a game and its community grow if misguided players jump down the throats of anyone who dares speak an ill word? It's probably up there in the top 10 major issues the game and its community has.

Edit: I just realized you were referring to the real world. Most people can, in fact, handle criticism and talks in a lot of topics. Please get out more and stop living on the internet.

you say that you have played many mmo's, yet you say this, which is surprising. maybe you have not visited other game forums

this is something that happens in every mmo forum I have been on. this is not unique to FF XIV, and has been going on for literally... ages. so before you start tossing around how bad people are or how unaware they are, you may wish to take a long look in the mirror.. and as you say... get out more.

I play this game for the story and the crafting/gathering. I am free to play it as I wish. It's a GAME...it isn't that serious.

You're joking right? I've never played a team based game that didn't involve blaming someone else nearly every match besides Overwatch.

Anyone watching can see it's often the person doing the blaming that isn't trying to get better and isn't trying to learn.
