The decline of the community

[Lanadra]

I really haven't seen much of it I'm afraid.. I can't really recall any bad experiences in any instanced content. It's silent most often aside from the hello's, salut's and lali-ho's.

...I'm vaguely reminded of another poster who made inflammatory threads then deleted all their posts and edited the OP because he wasn't getting the echo chamber he wanted...

Just a feeling

The last two pages here are only spam, no discussion, hence post deleted, no point in this.

"Oh no, people don't agree with me! I best delete my posts and play the victim card."

Stop with this, please. It's embarrassing.

Some people really, really can't handle disagreement of any kind.

But it is a *great* community.
By the way, why delete your posts?

Basically this. A lot of people do not remember this nostalgia community you are talking about. FF14 became famous for their community recently after a VERY large amount of people were banned.

They wanted an echo chamber. What they got was not that.

And here I thought I could have something interesting to read.. seems I was late to the party.

There was discussion and that involves disagreement. Thesis and antithesis, that's how these things work out.

In this world you pick your friends. If there are people you dislike you're not forced to engage with them. I walked that road, and it only leads to misery. You need to stop looking towards places that make you feel the wrong way. Community here or there, we're all different and what many don't admit is we judge people based on everything, it's how life works. Live and let live.

Because certain communities decided using Twitter to share such things was suddenly OK and SE wouldn't notice apparently, idk.

That stuff has been around for a long long time.

It's been around for a while, sure - but there was at least an attempt to be subtle about it in the past. More recently, it's become something a lot of players use as a badge of honour and seek to actively get others to partake of.

Given that some of the people they're approaching aren't even of legal age, I fear it's only a matter of time before the game gets some pretty bad publicity as a result.

I've always favoured the 'out of sight, out of mind' policy, personally.

Alas, I've had to resort to keeping my house locked to the public due to people, uh, trying to make use of it.
