Is there too much soy in this game's community

Since when was "don't be an asshole" so difficult?

I suppose we could just respond with "not cool dude" and leave it at that. Definitely saves a lot of wasted effort. But then people will never learn why they're being an asshole.

It's fine going beyond a mere "not cool dude". The people you are talking about here have a very thick skin and can take it. They wouldnt come crying to the forum about how you're not allowed to make jokes anymore.

Personally I think we need MORE soy. Let me make some mapo tofu SE

I agree with that. A person doesn’t know they’re a jerk if no one tells them. But that can be said too for the players doing other things wrong. Mechanics. Skill rotations. Etc. but a lot of people in this community treat any criticism as harassment. But how will they know they could be doing it differently/ better if it’s not pointed out? So the white knights jump in with their own crap attitudes and it’s a never ending cycle

In the grand scheme do you telling someone their an asshole will change their behavior in most situations? Assholes often know they are assholes.

You're not wrong.

In the same vein, does telling a bad player they're performing their rotation incorrectly lead to them learning to play better?

Thing is unlike an asshole, sometimes players do not know they are bad or playing poorly. I was an LFR monkey for a time, I thought I was doing fine as a player. I felt LFR content was simply not challenging enough so I went into normal raids, boy was I trash and someone laid into me.

It hurt in the moment, but it was eye opening and I appreciate them telling me I was shit. Gave me the reality check I needed. I think it common for players to think they are doing well cause people stay silent and just carry people.

It is a byproduct of the game itself not pushing players to improve.

You don't understand, "In from the cold" was a REALLY hard part! :^)

I smell troll bait.

Back in Heavensward and Stormblood you can insult people and mock them and they'll just insult and mock you back. Banter, friendly or unfriendly, was the norm. What happened to this game's community man!? Now you make a mild joke and they collapse and freak out and start crying. People don't even fight back anymore! What happened to FF14? Where is all the testosterone?

lol I could answer that but you know how offended people would be. So I will just like your post
