The Official Forums is an EXTREMELY poor example of a "Good Community"

Uh huh. You see, it only takes 1 person to state a false and / or exaggerated statement to cause trouble.

You say some people want to see the game burn but can’t provide any proof or examples. It only takes 1 person believing your statement to start spreading this untruth. So I’d like proof that your claim is true. Otherwise you’re just telling a big fish if a tale for whatever reason

That's how most trouble starts. Someone makes an unsupported claim and other people don't want to do their own investigating and just act as if it is truth.

This thread is, um, kinda toxic. Can we just yeet it please? :^)

To be fair, there is an actual shot (albeit extremely small) that a blue will respond to your topic if it is a worthwhile discussion on the WoW forums. I'd imagine the FF14 forums would be a bit more popular if there was any semblance of SE caring about our opinions at all here.

That's sort of a chicken/egg problem. If the forums are extremist and/or unrepresentative then the devs have no real reason to view them. Which came first? Dunno, but it's the end-state in which it currently resides.

My price is 200 USD per hour of clocked research. 5 USD per cited source. 50 USD per page of the proof you request. I highly doubt you can afford me. Good day sir.

You should start charging money for your opinions too.

If everyone started charging money for their opinions, world hunger wouldn't exist since everyone would have money.

I'd delete it if I could but it's not gonna let me. Oh well...it's a good example of what I'm saying though. I've resigned myself to stay away from such threads now and I stick with the fun ones and discord.

"The Official Forums is a bad community, just take a look at this toxic thread I made, it's a good example"

I don't necessarily disagree with your OP's premise but this thread's probably not a good example for your point seeing as you yourself made it and the premise of it's argument is inherently toxic lol

Well first you got to like and know the game... starting to how you put it that this MMO does that and this and whatever usually get people on the toes...because if you don't like the setting then why did one leave the MMO one used to play before FFXIV?
