I doubt I'm the only one who posts a lot as a consequence of it being a social experience. Most of the people I speak to actively about FFXIV are people I've met through this very forum, so that in itself is reason enough for me to continue posting for as long as I invest the game itself.

Some people will like my posts, others won't. That's the way of the world and I wouldn't want to be everybody's cup of tea either.
Yep, a lot of me posting here is just using it as a social outlet. It's a game I am interested in, so naturally I like to talk about it. I've been playing this game, and using the forums for years, so it is sort of a routine to check the forums at different times. Most of the people I have met online have been through various online games, and FFXIV was no different. You could say the forums is kind of like my game chat, because I don't actively interact with anyone in-game.
