There Sure Are A Lot of Doom and Gloom Posts In Here

Meh, overly melodramatic players have been claiming the sky is falling since before ARR launched...

Were they wrong?

What's going on with people? Why are so many of you acting like this game is 72 hours away from total collapse? Yeah I know it's a content lull, but think back to the huge content lulls in Shadowbringers. Remember when The Coof was making it so Yoshi P's team had to work from home? Huge long months between update patches? I don't think things right now are as bad as people say they are. Nothing in this game's development is ever going to be perfect.

So calm down, lighten up and stop worrying so much.

Don't we play games like these to get away from the world and it's problems?

I'm enjoying the game myself leveling Samurai and getting it savage raid ready(Ghost of Tsushima put me in the mood. Love that game). That said, I personally don't play the game to escape the world. Facing problems head on is best for me. Back to the main topic, you're not going to convince people to not complain with this post. They're going to retort with "you're not my mom" energy.

This is the forum, one of the few places that people feel comfortable enough to actually voice concerns about the game. If you want fluff and happiness, this isn't going to be for you.

Why don't people feel comfortable voicing their concerns in other places as well? Nobody is going to take their next birthday from them.

U mean Pudding and Doom

This is nothing new here. some thread have value issues, some personal issue with the game and then there are threads that are just made for stirring up argument and bickering and some are just for fun and so on...
and longer in the expansion lifecycle more weirder threads will pop up

Pudding is delicious. I gotta get some now.

This is also a common trope by the defenders of any criticism for this game.

Person: gives genuine complaint and criticism of ffxiv

Person 2: but similar thing in WoW is just as bad/worse


So? Both can be bad. Both FFXIV and WoW can similtaneously have a lack of content, or lack in a certain area/system within the game. Im not saying this is true about WoW as i dont play, it is simply just an observation

Yep, both can be bad. It's mostly that WoW lacks social systems like housing, and XIV lacks continuous combat systems.

If only they could learn from each other.

Worst example.. You think we trusted anyone? Yoshi was a nobody.

That was in a time where we were given literally 0 reason to trust SE.

The experience spending time on here, and actually playing the game is night and day. Quite similar to watching the news, or flooding your mind with youtube videos about how rotten people are in 2023. When you actually go outside, you see the sky is actually not falling. The fact that several people can come here and cry so hard about how bad the game is only goes to show how easy they have it irl. It really must be fantastic if FFXIV represents the greatest of their woes.

100% on point with this one.

No no, you get complaints also on Reddit about the game. We just have a high influx of trolls and since we don't really have a mod team, they've had free reign.

Technically, if they were indeed saying the sky was falling before ARR, they're canonically not wrong, no.

Well, more like a giant primal prison was falling, but still

Meh, overly melodramatic players have been claiming the sky is falling since before ARR launched. If the doomsayers were to believed, the game should have failed ten to twenty times by now.

Ive seen all the Doom and Gloom Since Stormblood.
And yet.....

[TaleraRistain]

This is basically what happens with any MMO in existence. Seen it many times across many different games. There are legitimate complaints and there are some threads where we have some good conversation about topics. I'd try to stick mainly to those and ignore the non-constructive ones.
