What Zero Could've Been

[Absimiliard]

The issue is that, on these forums at least, it most definitely goes both ways, and particularly the "other" way. Look at how certain posters jump all over anyone who posts about liking the Scions, or Venat, or the EW story arc, etc.. Heck, we have people complaining that in the midst of the usual half-dozen or so "I hate x" threads, someone creates one single thread saying they enjoy that thing and find it a positive. And almost immediately a certain crew goes into any thread like that and either directly or passive-aggressively tries to shoot it down or derail it. We have a group that's not only dedicated to spending their forum life hating on the game, but also trying to drag down anyone who dares to enjoy it. That's just sad.

That shoe quickly goes on the other foot if someone mentions liking the Ancients, Garleans, etc. Ditto for speaking positively about certain primals. What I can't figure out is why speaking positively about Ramuh is considered some grave offense. Wasn't he like... the fairest, most kind out of all of the original primals? Dude had granddad energy, but God forbid you say something nice about him on the forums.

So yeah, that's the rub. Saying things go the "other" way when they are in fact pretty much equal on all fronts is only inviting more trouble.
