Karma system in the official forums?

[Neoyoshi]

Karma doesn't unlock new Mounts or minions nor does it help progress my Relic weapon. Forum karma seems unless. D:

[ChazNatlo]

I feel I'm a pretty good example of why Likes/ Karma is useless. Most of my posts where I'm providing meaningful (to me) feedback I get between one to three likes. My most liked comment is one where I give another forum member a verbal beating, and while I stand by what I said, I don't think that sort of negativity should be rewarded.

[Roeshel]

Yeah, it feels like, like the game, the forum is being overrun with bot accounts... Its made them much worse than they used to be.

I was called a troll on my first thread as well. If I recall correctly some random guy also hinted that I am another Titan whatever alt. You lot need a reality check honestly.

Edit: I just looked it up, it was Vahlnir, someone who is present in almost all "troll" posts, the guy just has a lot of time to waste with trolls.

To quote: "It seems as though they are trying to fill the void that TitanMen left. Really wish they'd have left it unfilled."

He was replying to some person who said I am Merhouse's alt because in my first post I said that mentors in ffxiv are really bad. Aside from some of them being toxic and unhelpful, they are also just bad at their job. I wrote this because, the first time I ever got kicked from a dungeon was because I refused to play optimally because my tank (mentor) literally said they were feeling lazy and didn't want to pull mobs. I said okay and starting spamming cure I onward. Before that I would use holy, assize and play like I am supposed to play. He said guys roll on items, and I did, next thing I know I am back at Gridania.

When the so-called in-game mentors are trashbags, I am hardly surprised that the old old forums people who say that every other guy is trolling are the same.

Some people are too paranoid, granted, but I'm never off the mark on these. Hell, I've even been the one to give some accounts the benefit of the doubt that actually did turn out to be Titan-alts. I'm also slowly starting to be convinced that MPK is at the very least friends with the guy behind Titan, or is the same guy, or pretends to be the original guy. MPK has been way too consistent in getting the first post in on these threads lately, though I still can't confirm them to actually own any of the accounts that aren't section 3_3.

I highly doubt you're a titan-alt, but SecretIsland most certainly is. Checking the lodestone profile, the writing style of the posts, the very specific character naming convention, roe... it fits his M.O. to a T.

I actually didn't think t0rn was a titan-alt until they decided to be really blatant about it, either.

There's also people like Merhouse who are/were definitely trolling but are also neither Titan nor MPK. Their account was way too legit for that.

This forum is kind of a troll-infested hellscape and jury's still out where titan gets all the money for these botted accounts.

EDIT: Y'know, Titanman might actually be a case of "Three guys in a trenchcoat" come to think.

If it's a network of botters who troll their forums in their spare time, it could very well be that there isn't just "1" titanman. It's possible that it's actually a group of friends using their individual bot accounts to troll the forums when they feel like it, and give off the illusion that it's actually the work of 1 guy.

All speculative, though. What we do know is that there's definitely a singular entity committing the same 'crime' so to speak.

"karma" and downvotes were the worst ideas ever conceived for online forums/message boards.

Also people need to get over themselves. If you're incapable of coming up with proper counter-arguments that's your problem, don't label someone a 'troll' just because they have an unpopular or controversial opinion. "Trauma" isn't an excuse at all.

This is some of the most bizarre speculations and conspiracy theories I have ever seen in this forum. Good job.

^ lodestone checks out.

You're very off the mark in this fever dream of a post. You're seeing connections where there are none, just as you've done so in my thread about the Balance. Find another hobby instead of harassing random people of trolling. Perhaps if you've had joined the forum prior to January 2020 you would actually know who is who and what is what.

Flaunting my silver medals

Edit: nvm, failed lol

Similarly, I apparently have a "vendetta" or something, due to my opinions on mentorship. I think mentorship and the NN should be shut down, simply for the good of the game, and I see a lot of push back for it.
