Why is the playerbase so mentally fragile now

[Picker]

Ah yes, world of Warcraft, the game that died after wrath of the litch king removed anything interesting or difficult combat-wise, killed guilds by reducing raids from 40 to 25, got rid of downranking spells, simplified talent trees, said “hey remember naxx lol, you have to do the nerfed version as this expacs flagship raid”, over 10 years ago, that’s the game your trying to compare us to? Game that’s been a joke since cataclysm. Wow is just as casual focused as ff14 now, don’t kid yourself. I cleared vanilla naxx on patch and was the mind control priest, can’t yank my chain about WoW. Don’t be so dramatic.

I will agree a lot of modern gamers are far too precious, but I blame that on growing up with social media and participation trophies, and it’s not unique to 14.

If WoW is dead, then so is FFXIV because they both have the same sub numbers

I love how these takes try to blame the literal children that were growing up and in no way responsible for the situation and not the people giving out the trophies or anything.
