    and before people say „but the english one is more toxic“, a forsaken forum get‘s toxic without moderations after some time, if you leave it by itself.
    i mean there are people that are blatantly trolling but they seem to get around with that stuff without a problem, which invites others to do the same.

    It'd maybe bother me a bit less if it wasn't just the one pov and lens of looking at things through ( strangely enough even from a lot of non-Americans ).
    Like when it comes to gaming websites the last straw for me was when DoA6 was coming out and freaking reviews became about the last president and it became some '' left vs right '' culture war whether you liked the game or not...

    Imo it should just be shutdown immediately and be isolated to where it belongs in sub-sections or something.
    Gaming is a global market...
    Just create a trashfire politics section and then let it burn itself to the ground, don't even moderate it just let people go nuts but keep them away from everywhere else.
    The US has a lot of influence on both world politics and makes up a large portion of 'gamers'. It makes sense that there is bleed through. However, the site I was referring was host to world politics, especially British or EU topics, as there were a lot of users from that region. Now I do agree that real world politics should be - mostly - isolated to their own sections (of a general forum, not like here being specifically about FFXIV), and/or should only be addressed if it's relevant to the topic or something appearing in the game. The problem is politics has the tendency to get tempers raging on whatever side (or not) one may be, and quickly devolve into insult wars and personal attacks. It requires heavy moderation for actual discourse to happen, and even then it's touchy, as one side or the other will claim moderation is biased. It's usually easier to not allow it entirely.

    English forums definitely need somebody. Even just placing a warning in certain threads would go a long way, or just more interactions like for popular requests.

    I'm inclined to believe that it's exactly what is supposed to be happening but isn't for whatever reason.

    We occasionally see our community representatives make a post introducing themselves but then beyond that...we rarely if ever see them show up again.

    Maybe their hands are tied, though. It's hard to say for sure, I guess.

    Battlefield 2042 got delayed to like the same release date as Endwalker. Think that'll be a cancelled preorder from me, I won't be able to play that one. Probably will have to get it on sale months later now. Like yeah, nah. I think I'm booked in November.

    Picked up some fantasias while they're still on sale. Haven't actually decided what to do with them, so they're going into the saddlebag for now, but we'll see.

    God, schmood. I’ve got entire weeks planned for stuff, and EW is taking up the majority of my time even before it’s come out.

    Yeah, pretty much the same. I assume EW will take up the majority of my playtime for about a month after it's out. Thing is, I'm also typically the type to only play one game at a time (same with watching things). I don't really like to divert my attention to multiple things, especially story based games or RPGs. Makes it less impactful. I'll probably get through the EW main story pretty quick though, relatively.

    Dying Light 2 has also been delayed. From December to February. It's a shame - other than Endwalker, it's pretty much the only game with a set release date that I'm looking forward to playing.

    I was thinking of doing the same thing, despite being quite content with my Au Ra right now.

    Yep. I previously had a fairly full end of the year, and was looking forward to releases. Even Warhammer 3 got delayed, so the only game related thing I'm looking forward to now is Endwalker - I really hope it's good. I guess these delays will end up saving me money this year.
