Serious note -Why so many toxic players lately?

[Nyarlha]

Thanks for that awesome response. That's true. I've seen the thread you're mentioning but never did go in to read on it. I'm just sitting here working on perspective and all makes sense. Maybe this post will end up being a waste but just putting it out there to see if people feel it's a drastic change, no change at all, just same as usual with larger population, etc. Guess should also ask how people usually deal with those situations, as it's hard to know what to say or do sometimes. (Well, for me anyway)

Anyway, thanks again for legit answer.

No worries, sorry for my abrasive first reply. You have been putting out quite a lot of threads lately and knowing these boards this one could be taken as bait by some. I guess Titanmen's schtick just made us more suspicious than warranted overtime.

I am literally holding myself back from accusing ALL the new people turning up on the forums who are necro-ing and posting hot-button topics.. because of the exact same reason we might be encountering more "rude" players..

There's a whole lot of new people incoming and that will mean even here =]

It's definitely a sad thing that one user is making us doubt anyone who isn't a "regular" but Dragonblanco here does not fit the pattern... and yeah.. I did check, I'll admit. Not just the one 80 war and magic class with 80 all crafters and the one man FC.

But you did say I was a troll on my first thread.

And you acted/sounded like one and we weren't in the middle of a particularly large surge in players.

Can I not change habits or assessments due to changing conditions?

Would you like me to not notice that not only have the servers got players but there has been a very large increase in the posting people here as well?


Still not convinced you're not since this is your only contribution to this thread. I'm sure you're not a titanmen alt at least though.

Wow. Talk about being arrogant.

The great contribution to the thread:
Hello OP o/
I see you are from Exodus, maybe because you are in NA servers you are encountering more toxic players. I am from the EU and I haven't noticed a significant change. You can still run across some but it has always been like that.

Now, to get to the real point of my post.
Krotoan, it's okay to admit you made a mistake but I guess since you are too old and old people don't like admitting they were wrong you won't do that. I understand.

I'm completely capable of admitting mistakes, I was in fact saying that I'm still on the fence as to whether you're contributory or an instigator.. but considering your response to a completely warranted observation that your ONLY contribution to this thread was to go "HAY REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID I WAS A TROLL HOWBOUT THAT?!?!"..

Leaning towards instigator.

so you ARE here just to insult me. That is troll behavior indeed. Noticing you think the old thing is an insult though. That is something young people fear so it's to be expected.

Not changing my perceptions any here.

[Roeshel]

Keep mincing words and proving my original assessment correct. I don't think you're doing this for any sort of constructive dialogue. My initial perception was pretty spot on and all you're doing is providing more and more evidence to support it.
The fact remains you self admittedly came into this discussion looking to get a response from me and not to contribute to the discussion.

I don't care what you call me: Old or Arrogant. I'm not here so people can like me or to farm favor.

I came into the discussion proving you wrong. Whether you view it as constructive or not is not my concern.

I did the same with another guy who diagnosed me with an existential crisis of control on my first thread. On another thread, he said he is working in the psych field to prove his point on an argument that was barely touching the main topic. And then I reminded him that he is a clown.

It is similar to the post I initially replied to. It actually is not connected with the topic at all. The one who started derailing from the thread discussion is you and I continued it.

Nobody asked you if you are holding from accusing all new posters of being Titanmen alt. You didn't hold when I started posting here and I will point that out so that eventually if someone else who is new gets called out for being titanman alt they would know that it's not really their fault and that FFXIV's forum has some special breed of crazy lunatics.
