Like the poster above me, I've been around for a bit (long live the non-forum lodestone that google still for some reason suggests to me....). I do post every once in a while when I think I might have a decent idea that may be a helpful suggestion. I also post in support to some areas that I believe the dev team should definitely focus on (Viera hats.........). However, for the most part, I never come here. I noticed the extreme hatefulness of these forums, not just towards each other, but also towards the game as well. The game isn't perfect and should be criticized. Ideas should be shared and suggestions should definitely be given, but I just got exhausted with the extremity of what users were posting. I'm definitely clutching my pearls lol.

I just gave up and stopped coming. I've had WAY more fun with the game by going to ffxiv reddit. I can enjoy some funny memes, get some cool news posted, and do whatever I can to avoid the dozens of fan art that gets reposted LOL @.@ (I still check them out for the most part XD).

Just take a break from the forums OP. You'll quickly notice a far more positive experience with the game in general.
