Dear Forum Troll, You Win

[Edax]

Problem is, this is the area that the devs are supposed to know about so actual issues (of which there are many) will get overlooked because of idiot dumb trolls that currently plague the forums

If they can't sort such a basic problem out on the forums themselves, I'd have little hope for the "actual issues" getting fixed at this point.

The fact that reddit is better than the OF, even if only for entertainment is very sad indeed. However any black sheep has no place in either community.

Saddens me that you’re right.

To all those saying “don’t reply to their posts” I also agree with you. We should all be reporting them daily but unfortunately they’re winning, the moderators do nothing and won’t do anything until they swear or something similar

Adults will keep leaving if the kids run the show. All that will be left here is trolls and people who think trolling/spam is funny. They succeeded in making people with healthy brains too embarrassed to be around them.

I've been a gnome in WoW, a hobbit in LoTRO, a pet cat gone adventurer in Ultima Online, a Porkul in Wizardry Online, Tarutaru in FFXI and Lalafell here in FFXIV . I just prefer smol avatars.

Reddit is a toxic chess pool, I came here to get way from them, you cannot ask legit questions with out being rated at. It’s all tennee boppers posting pictures of their badly drawn characters.

I wouldn't exactly call it toxic, just not very useful. It's all just fanart and discussions about how everything is awesome...the best ones are "I just started playing the game (insert XY number) days/hours ago and I already know it's the best thing since the big bang"
And don't get me started on people asking legitimate job questions and getting the most incompetent answers from "veteran players" I've ever seen.

Getting the wrong advice isn't great, but are you seriously saying it's a negative for a board about a video game - something you play to have fun - might be populated by people who enjoy the game as it is right now instead of constantly complaining and/or lobbying to change it?

This forum's balance of fans and complaints has always seemed like the anomaly to me. Most people I know from FCs and Discords are just enjoying the game.

No I'm saying that it's bad if you literally ignore issues and pretend everything is a perfect dream world, even if it's to your own detriment. Or worse, you try to justify jank design because your favorite game can't do no wrong.
