These forums are weird

I'll help translate.

Mate (i hate you so much) ... (god why am I still responding to this person) really (I can still hardly believe what I'm reading) .. (sigh here we go again) if you believe that I have a bridge in Sydney to sell you.. (you're an idiot)going cheap.... (I need to stop, this is pointless)

So what you're saying is Gaius/Vel is the Gen. Discussion OTP?

Sounds great, when's the wedding?

The reason its so bitter. Is because people need something to complain about. This game shows you what happen when people don't play enough MMO and only play this game. So when they see fault in this game they instantly think the game is dying, dead, or just the devs don't care. Thus showing how much of an echo chamber it is. Sadly if these same people oh IDK touch a bit of grass, played some mmo like PERFECT WORLD, SEEN HOW PSO 2 NGS started and how its still in confusing state or just look at josh strife hayes worse mmo's ever. You would see you have it much better...but for people to do that would mean you are shattering there perspective world and thus they must push their bounty full misery onto others to make themselves feel good.

But seriously what do I know im just a crafter in the world of ff14 this forum checks out just right seems about right for the same type of people who need to harasses others for skipping the story . Stay strong stay safe and remember Misery Loves company...TOODLES.

Nah, you got it twisted.. The people judging XIV harshly, and giving feedback are the ones that have actually started playing other games - like you all wanted.

It doesn't make XIV look better, it's just making it look incompetent with MMO basics. How would they know what was wrong, if they didn't have a reference to what was right?

You think they're mad because they've only ever played XIV? If they've only ever played XIV then they'd likely be happy and ignorant to it all. Come on. lol

What a weird take, you actually think we're a walled eden.. If only we could open our eyes to other video games and realize XIV is perfect.

Naw I think what you said fully shows how the forums think and twist things. XD you prove a point to my argument thanks.

Dunno..its just fun I guess. BTW the only people unpaid in a job are usually interns, and Ima kinda old to be an intern. But keep believing whatever you wish, if you want to fixate in your head that anyone who speaks positively about the game is an SE employee, have at it.

Its the dumbest handwave of them all, but whatever.

Doesnt make me no never mind, bless your kind and gentle heart.

Got me confused with Gaius lmfao, I ain't even say anything about interns. Might be time for you to get a little bit of shut eye.

Rest up, regain your strength, then wake up for another day of vigorous forum combat.

Was a general observation.

Shut eye? Its barely after 3pm here. Timezones, ya know?

we get a lot of squeky wheels on these forums looking for grease.

I've played other games before this one and I'll sometimes occasionally get around to playing other games alongside this one (I'd have more time if I didn't have an alt addiction) and the simple conclusion is that no game is perfect. You just need to play things until you find one that you connect with, play and enjoy it, and eventually move on. If you enjoyed it and/or it gets additional content, you come back to it and continue enjoying it until you're done with it again.

Maybe it's a different outlook because I'm mostly into single-player games besides this one. You don't expect them to go on forever. Each one has its own clever aspects and flaws, and if you enjoy the good parts more than you dislike the bad parts, you play it until you get to the end, then stop, and go on to find a new game to replace it.

I haven't reached the point where I've run out of things to do (again, alt addiction with glamour collecting and a tendency to start yet another one if I'm anywhere near to finished) but when I break away to play other things, there are good and bad aspects of other games relative to this. I miss the auto-run and the text log to review what was said in cutscenes; I enjoy having a single solid protagonist but miss customisability; I might enjoy a better inventory system or discover one so bad that it makes FFXIV's look simple and intuitive. Imagine something with all the negatives of FFXIV's inventory plus NO CURRENCY so you have to barter for everything and are never sure what obscure materials you need to be carrying.

I don't see the point in being annoyed that you "have to" go play other games sometimes to fill in your time. Unsub from this for a few weeks, spend your time and money getting enjoyment from something fresh. Nothing is holding you permanently hostage here – houses can be left for a month and a half before you need to sub again.

Seems like a stark contrast of those inside the game. Everyone's so nice and positive, and the story generally seems to be well liked by the players.

Then I come here and it seems like every topic on the front page is just negative, angry, or bitter.

What's the deal?
