Brian from Work 2 Game is leaving FFXIV

[aveyond-dreams]

He was dead serious. His wife was so heavily harassed by people ingame that she quit playing and refused to ever play the game again.

And people wonder why I never link my main to these forums.

I didn’t intend to give my opinion about toxic positivity at first . My focus was on “constructive criticism.” However, since it was mentioned in the OP and kept being brought out by the following replies constantly that I decided to say something about it.

That is my poor attempt at mirroring the famous snaky quote and that part “where’s toxic positivity when you need it?” is nothing serious. I trolled at that part and I admit it’s inappropriate

So no. Both sides are problematic, and we shouldn't want to have "a counter to X". Because guess what, Toxic Negativity is, in turn, a counter to Toxic Positivity. Neither side wins, everyone just gets tired.

No one wins, and I agree with you. But it’s certainly more painful to be on the negativity side because of doom and gloom. Though I do feel the other side is rather lonely on this very forum when the majority of the threads and their replies are negative along with the number of likes attached to each of them. If Reddit downvote has any meaning, I’m sure those under the banner of “constructive criticism “ would surely find a lot of warmth here. Yet we act as if toxic positivity is the biggest issue in official forum, which to my biased and limited observation, isn’t.

And thus, this turns into another one of these forum brawls.

GEE I WONDER WHY THE DEVS DON'T REALLY TAKE THIS PLACE SERIOUSLY

Either way, gonna go get my popcorn.

When you barely see the mods interact with the community it's probably not a good thing.

Also the devs probably don't even see the forums. Too busy working on the game. Probably have no time to play it.

Used to be a 1000 character limit you could bypass by editing your post. When you can bypass a restriction like that that's poor html at it's finest.

They really don't care a whole lot about their forums all that much.

Most of their communication is done through liveletters but it's primarily just a live powerpoint presentation.

Bravely Default was much better since they asked players to take surveys and vote on things for feedback on making the game better during the livestream events they would have. You aren't getting that here.

To be fair, I wouldn't expect the devs to be directly interacting on the forums regardless. That should be the job of a community manager, who has the job of parsing our inane ramblings, turning it into useful feedback, and passing that along the chain. Of course I don't think we even have that, soo

Did he enjoy anything about FFXIV? From the few times I watched him it seemed like he wanted to make it a different game. Well that, and making it so people can yell at each other in duty finder and not get banned for it.

I'm convinced he did like FFXIV. There were years where he was putting out multiple videos a week with not enough views to justify the content. He'd need to like the topic to survive that.

I get the feeling he tried the "youtube content creator thing," can see he gave it his absolute best shot, but it didn't work out for him or his channel in FFXIV. This has always been something he's done on the side, so I can see the appeal of just packing up the instant something else he does on the side (in this case, comedy) starts to get legs.

I wish him the best.
