I don't agree. I feel like this forum is overly toxic, and that people gang up on those that they do not like for having a differing opinion. I also feel like there are a lot of trolls who are trying to get a few minutes of notoriety, and that the moderators here aren't able to contain it all for some reason. I suspect that it has something to do with the fact that when they used to deal with behavior, the community got very angry with how they handled it. I think it was because there was some behavior from the moderators that people did not appreciate, and as a result to that, the moderators here are just kind of quiet in comparison to how they used to be, instead of just adjusting their behavior, but still maintaining more of a presence. It's also been a thing in game for awhile too. People used to talk to the mods like they were people, but now they just give you blanket responses, and ban people for things they don't know that they did. It's all a big mess.
On top this, the community has taken a turn for the worse ever since Shadowbringers. Don't get me wrong, all games have a toxic population of users, but ever since we became the top selling MMMORPG, we have inherited a lot of negativity. I miss the days before Shadowbringers a lot, because people definitely weren't as bad to each other as they can be now.
I feel like people here have misunderstood me, and it's making me very depressed. I just want to express my voice without being treated like crap. It shouldn't be that hard! And quite frankly, it doesn't matter what you think I have done, if you keep derailing a thread about a certain issue by not talking about that issue, then you're no better than the things you accuse me of doing. It does the community a complete disservice. Imagine if we had wrote the majority of these pages on how we would like to see content like Zadnor improved. Maybe these suggestions could go to Square Enix, but with all the drama ensuing for absolutely no good reason, I suspect that don't they won't even bother.
You can't keep witch hunting people for one thing they did, or made up things you claim they did. It absolutely is not fair, and I don't care how many people say "oh well life isn't fair", it doesn't mean we get to be jerks to each other. I have absolutely had it to here with the way people have treated me on these forums for the last four years. I want it to stop. Honestly, I am at such a level of annoyance over this as a customer, that I might just write to Square Enix, and ask them to PLEASE step up their moderating, because the way I'm treated on here makes me feel uncomfortable.
If I could name change and clear everything on the forums, in order to completely start over, I absolutely would. Until then, people will continue to have a bias against me, and treat me like crap for it. The same things I post, people give me crap for, but then they turn around do it to others, and then they make a big deal about how they have such wonderful suggestions.
I am not my character, I am a human being, and I should be seen as a person behind this computer from which I am typing from. Please remember that. No one is perfect, but we should all strive to be kind to each other, and to quit bullying. Also, for the love of all things consentfuly aware, if someone asks you to stop doing something to them, you just do it. It's common sense. I shouldn't have to keep asking people to stop saying unkind things to me on here.
