Anyone critique the game gets their post removed

[WhiteWitch]

it's funny how everyone came here attacking me saying i was wrong but they aren't 100% positive what happened in the situation themselves.

The thread will probably turn back up, but pruned of some comments. That seems to be how they have to handle removing troublesome comments. But anyway, people complain about the game all day long here, that in itself isn't an issue, so have at it.

Usually when a discussion devolves into personal jabs, insults or an overall uncivil discussion the mods come in to either clean a thread up and put it back or nuke it into oblivion. Guess we'll find out which soon.

Eh, not entirely sure about that.

I just checked OPs started threads and could find it that way

They also started a complaint thread didn't they? I recall that alexander stuff from earlier worded differently.

Wow, just wow actually . Y’all got mad about a new players experience and reported it . This further proves my point about not wanting to pay for 60$ more game when community is like this

Some of my points which I thought were valid but must’ve tilted the forums

- thordan buildup is epic but he’s dead in one minute
- two of the four tanks don’t even need healers. Borderline bad game design . Just give everyone a heal like gw2 and call it a day
- bumrush dungeons is not brain food content
- lots of rude players when I’m trying to unlock Alexander content and other content . Now everytime I see a “perfect legends “ I don’t have an impression that they’re a kind player

Yes, the official forums are full of gatekeeping, and are largely an echo chamber.

- thordan buildup is epic but he’s dead in one minute

It's early MSQ content and had to be completeable by everyone. it also has been insanely overgear cheesed. There is something to be said for properly scaling old content so that people running it don't get the experience you had.. but I'd say right now those fights are more like interactive cutscenes than actual fights.

- two of the four tanks don’t even need healers. Borderline bad game design . Just give everyone a heal like gw2 and call it a day

I've yet to run an expert where the healer is straight up not needed if people are full pulling unless absolutely everyone is cap gearscored, fooded up and perfect rotating. Stuff hits pretty hard, healers do have stuff to do. However I think that they really should have OTHER things to do rather than healing or the two button shuffle.

- there’s no reason to go back out into the beautiful maps other than fate grind

Gathering, treasure maps, hunts, sidequests, beastmen quests.. there's some stuff. There could be more stuff.. but there's some stuff.

- bumrush dungeons is not brain food content

Does it have to be?

- lots of rude players when I’m trying to unlock Alexander content and other content . Now everytime I see a “perfect legends “ I don’t have an impression that they’re a kind player

you will never escape rude players. No matter what you believe from the opposing narrative sides of "FFXIV is utopia" or "FFXIV is the most passive agressive toxic community ever"... all games have rude people. You're just not going to get away from this. People who scramble for status or unique rewards they can lord over others tend to be competitive and insecure. that's just the kind of person it attracts.

I was just saying that our group wiped in the Alex raid where u put the boMbs on the scrap metal. And some dudes was like “this is why going from savage to normal sucks c:”. There was a few other sprouts in the raid so I’m assuming they meant that they’d rather be playing with savage level people .

so.. you assumed and ran with that.

Savage and normal are so very different. Honestly most savage runs for alexander content are unsynced roflstomps. Most people who are grinding savage have no idea what the actual mechanics aside from teamwiping checkpoints are.

Maybe they didn't mean it in a negative way towards you. Maybe they're just used to doing this mechanic differently in savage and going back to normal they forgot about it and thus wiped

I guess it doesn't occur to people that the reason particular threads are removed aren't necessarily "cuz you critique muh game" but rather because people devolved the relevant threads into a counterproductive slugfest that either needs removing entirely or cleared out.

That thread was hardly heading towards a good direction, even within the few posts it actually had in the first place.

[Padudu]

lol it's the 2nd time today my posts have been yanked. I thought it was a me problem. But yeah they're likely just making the thread more civil again, whatever that means for this forum
