One or two times is a mistake. 3 or more is a pattern. In 14's case, its a pattern. It's a known problem in this community that it cannot take criticism, both inside the game and outside of it. Theres a problem with this culture of enabling things that shouldnt be enabled. Handwaving it is why its becoming more rampant as the days go by. Just look at the posts in the asmongold thread lmao. People gatekeeping and hoping he never comes. That's why i bring up its funny that people critique other games so harshly but then wont even be open to people from other games coming. It's why i hope one of these upcoming mmo's just shits on 14. Maybe then it'll give this community the reality check it deserves.
For sure there are evangelists in this game, and they can be a pain. That said I think most people would gladly condemn doxxing and death threats and all that other nonsense. That doesn't mean people can't look at up coming MMO's and be skeptical that they have predatory cash shop mechanics. KiraTV is a youtube channel which focuses on money grabbing MMO's and he has no problem finding games to talk about, kickstarter is awash with obvious cash grabs. We should be looking at these games cynically as most prove to deserve it.
