Great Community Btw

[Vav2021]

Honestly, I think we all just need to take a step back and look at ourselves beyond the clown makeup.

This community has been getting so toxic lately. We can argue, complain and moan about the stuff thats been happening lately but frankly I think we all just need to take a break from FFXIV and ourselves and go do other things.

I wouldn't say toxic. I think people are passionate on their stances of certain changes and issues.

see I like to believe that but this kinda of culture is already leaking all over twitter and even in certain parts of twitch and YT. I mean just look at how heated and malded Pyromancer was with this.

No joke, during one of my daily roulettes today I saw one member of the group rant about SE banning add-on users instead of bots. To be fair, it was only one comment and nobody else responded to it but its this self-entitled angry culture that while I understand comes from a passion for making this game better.... I just feel somehow got way into one side of the extreme and its tiring to watch.

I think this video here nicely outlies the actual issue that people should be made well aware rather their overreactions over the actual problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4OPGYN6NGw

In fairness, bots and RMT are arguably a bigger problem, and the task force is too small to deal with it all. Sure, both things are present in any MMO, but they do run rampant in FF XIV. And no, the Lodestone updates don't mean jack squat.

Oh you sweet summer child.

Yeeea gonna let my sub run out as well. Not because everything happening around this game and the game itself is a mess, but because this game has become stale once again.

I dont often fully agree with you, but you are 100% correct. they need a FAR larger team and to use that shiney, virtually unused ban hammer on gil buyers. going after the bots will never work until they start cutting down the market for their product

SE banning add-on users instead of bots

self-entitled angry culture

Zero self-awareness

You literally only post in the forums to complain about people complaining. Do yourself the favor and take a break from this hypocrisy.

Yoshi's statement has turned the community into the Balkans.

You complaining about somebody complaining about other people complaining in the forums. I hope you realize your own absurdity here.

It's not surprising that people who participate in one form of social media also participate in other forms of social media. Most players do not watch streams, be it on Twitch or Youtube. The presence of a topic across various platforms is not an indicator that a majority of players are participating in or even aware of it.

You are likely to come across more people who are aware of who Pyromancer is when discussing it on social media. If you attempt to have the same discussion in-game, you're probably going to run into more individuals who respond with something akin to "who did what?". They just don't care.. these topics are not on most people's radar. The first page of this forum looks like the land of Eorzea is on fire because this is an echo chamber, not because it actually is.
