Why is the playerbase so mentally fragile now

[GaiusDrakon]

Got a Scholar who couldn't heal a big pull and we all died. I used quick translation and just said "Recitation + Indom"

Lo and behold the scholar just went offline right after 2 seconds

Pulled a boss right as I saw Viewing Cutscene ended and someone freaked out and just stood there and started typing out an essay in alliance chat, saying I'm ruining someone else's experience. Best part is the sprout didn't even say anything.

Obviously this has always existed. But... Why is this more and more common now?

Why does FF14 uniquely attract so many mentally fragile people lol. These people won't ever survive something like WoW or Lost Ark.

This game is like the ultimate safe space for people, cant criticize the game, cant criticize the players, no official parses, cant comment on someone's dps or you get banned, it's something of its own really, it can be a bit scary sometimes how triggered people get in this game compared to other games.

Meanwhile while you get banned for saying "low dps", bots are everywhere, flying under all the main cities and never get banned at all, same for RMT, it's pretty pathetic tbh

Yes and ? You always quote me in the most confusing ways possible, last time you blamed me for the housing scarcity as well when I talked about it and told me "yeah if only everyone had houses huh ?" as if it's my fault that people dont have houses

now this ?

looks like you are very confused and should probably think before you just respond to my posts because obviously you have no idea what you're writing and why you are writing it

Also that last part is jokes. Yes you can be banned for breaking rules and also yes Bots get banned all the time. Let's not bs here and act like Bots just get to roam free all the time with zero push back (we aren't misrepresenting things yet again to "prove" a point are we?)

Yeah sure xD, you go on with that copium

"Can't criticize the game" (The forums are full of criticism so that's a lie. UNLESS however youre saying you cant criticize without pushback and to that I say, welcome to the real world where your problems with something arent everyones.)
"Can't criticize the players" (Funny I don't have issues with this at all. As a mentor I generally point out faults/ mess ups if we're having issues on content and people take it very well. Maybe just don't be a dick?)
"No official parse" (Blame the toxic people who would/still do use parses to crap on other players. I see people complaining about parses in NORMAL content so yeah...no)
"Can't comment of someone's dps or you get banned" (Considering much of this game doesn't require everyone be tip top you generally don't need to be saying anything to anyone. TECHNICALLY you shouldnt even know someone else's damage output so you're already in the wrong just off that)

Maybe he's referring to the subreddit, where any thread that remotely questions the integrity of the game has a 0 rating.

Doubt it cause most who say that are talking about the forums unless they specify reddit. But even to that point I already said what to do. Make a subreddit to "counter it" so to speak. Moderate it the exact same way. Give folks who don't want pushback against what they find wrong a place.

Cause this place ain't it
