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

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.

Your quote over values yourself. But here’s the thing. You made the claim so cite your source. Is how these things work

Boo Hoo! Keep crying because you cannot get what you want. That's life, get over it. I will say no more on the matter.

No community is perfect. Some ppl also get super upset at anyone who disagrees with them to the point they act like a cult with pitchforks. Best thing is to write your opinions and ignore anyone who tries to fight with you and only engage in actual discussions and debates. *shrug*

I feel that one of the biggest maladies of this forums (and that other big mmo's OF too) is the fact that some people can't accept that what other people enjoy is valid. Many of the threads are about suggestions "Can we have X to make the game better?" and a good bunch of those are related to cosmetic, and you still have people bringing arguments like "This is trash because I don't like it"... to an optional feature request.

It relates a lot of RL on how people can't just accept ways of living that are alien to their own, even when they wouldn't have any kind of relation to that person. It shouldn't, but still baffles me how this premise replicate within a game and its community.

Um kinda cringe but okay

So is the majority of Lower Limsa but I don't see you giving them any lip. :/

honestly you cannot judge any games "community" from the forums.

such a low percentage of the player base posts, knows of or even cares that these exist. a lot of the posters in forums are usually unable to be at their home computers playing, and are stuck at work posting from their phones.

the great community that is referred to, is not looking at the forums at all... its looking at the people playing the game. and I would say, in that respect, its fairly accurate. the number of posters in the forum hardly represents a meaningful statistical number compared to the number of people playing.

We also have a metric ton of people who can't accept that someone can possibly not enjoy something without being a hater.

I've always had the very firm opinion that the FF14 community in general is just not good, but yea the forum is like..nah.

That's just online games in general now a days. Late 90s-2010 was the prime time to play online games, now everyone just weaponizes the ToS. Back in the day everyone just called each other _____, ____, ___, or even _____ and then we all laughed and moved on. lol

If you really want to see a cesspool, go look in the FF14 Steam Discussions. They complain but SE don't moderate it.

The forum here is pretty tame compared to the Steam Discussions.
