Brian from Work 2 Game is leaving FFXIV

This is what happens when the OF is taken too seriously I guess.

I dont know if they even were in the 1st place.
But threads devolving like this isnt new. It happened before, and it will happen without Aveyond-Dreams.

My point exactly. If anyone took those points seriously, then things wouldn't end up as they do. There's no obsession by anyone other than that person (and whoever follow me around here trying to talk shit. get a real hobby).

It is very hilarious. They're obsessed with him to the point where it's almost sad at the same time. When Aveyond went MIA for a bit, there were entire threads created just to bait him into interacting.

Hahaha, that's priceless. Provoking a reaction is attention-seeking behavior commonly displayed by children. I guess that's the level of pettiness that aveyond has to deal with.

Yep. That's why it makes complete sense to me why Aveyond wouldn't want these people having his main character's name and world. If they're this desperate for attention on the forums, imagine what they might do if they knew where to find him in-game.

Why does anyone care about this. I don't care about youtubers. They aren't that special.

BTW people do know that others can see who added thread tags, right?

Gary Manning has announced he is no longer going to be playing Final Fantasy XIV. He is choosing to spend more time with the love of his life, professional upholstery.

I just thought you guys might wanna know, as we all know how important Mr. Manning is to the community

idk maybe because you don't post "hot takes"? Why would you be harassed if you're part of the "majority"?

And since when posting with alts is sign of cowardice? It's a smart thing to be as incognito as possible when on online. Especially since SE is weird regarding their TOS. I don't know if the situation is still the same, but I recall someone telling their experience on being stalk. But since their stalker doesn't say anything or do anything drastic, the mods doesn't do anything since technically it isn't breaking TOS.

Also why would we need to wait until we're being harassed before we use alts? That defeats the purpose.

You might chalk this up as me defending aveyond, but nope it's just mind-boggling to me that people have put their life on the line (hyperbolic in case some people don't get it) just to "prove" something. Like, I don't give a crap if that's your main or alt account, and that applies to everybody else. I still gonna assume that you, the person behind jojoya, is being genuine with your opinions.

No, I don't see it as a defense of Aveyond. I also didn't accuse him of cowardice (I assume that was directed toward Deveryn ).

I question why anyone should be so fearful of such a remote possibility happening. In-game harassment is almost always connected to in-game conflict. It's rare for forum conflict to flare up in game.

Living in fear of "what ifs" is a good way to destroy your quality of life as you begin to think of more "what ifs" and change more of your life to avoid them.

But that's enough for being off topic. The topic was Brian leaving the game. Again, I wasn't a fan of the W2G style but I still had respect the work they did to get information out to the community. I'm glad that he wants to focus more on his family. Parents only have one chance to watch their children grow up and a game shouldn't get in the way of that.

Why care about tags that can be added by anyone for any reason?
