Why is the playerbase so mentally fragile now

lmao please don't describe you guys' paypig squealing as "pushback"

Paypig squealing? Seriously...
So everyone that doesn't have an issue with certain things and expresses that is a squealing paypig? Yet regardless if me or you is happy with the game...we're BOTH paying at the end of the day. So who really is the paypig? The person paying for a game they enjoy or the person paying for a game they don't?

Let's take it a step further with your logic. If you guy's criticism is being stamped out by so called "squealing paypigs" how weak does that make you and your point look? You lack the basic ability to apply nuance xD
And also to the original point you still very much CAN criticize the game. The forums are proof of this. If you want to be able to do that and have an Echo chamber with zero pushback from "squealing paypigs" band together and make a subreddit or something.

Having come from a roulette where I had to do a good portion of the healing as a Red Mage, I understand the desire to say something. That said, I prefer the in-game atmosphere of XIV a lot more than any other MMO I played so I'm fine with the decisions they made.

But at the same time, it has to be said that the over moderation has wiped out the majority of people who would otherwise be obnoxious trolls. But is it worth it if in return we get a neutered chat system that heavily restricts our speech?

Yes.

"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.)

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

Also doubt it as he occasionally scours reddit for upvoted critique threads that he then posts here. Which has upvotes...

IIRC the "shitpost" subreddit was essentially made to counter it, then it gradually got populated by the same people so it became obsolete. It's Reddit, so it's no surprise.

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

Maybe that was the cause of the wipe. Connectivity.

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

I do the same. They really shouldn't be complaining. You know if alliance members are watching a cutscene if their names are shaded, which means they are at a distance (usually in a cutscene). Most people don't seem to know that.

These people won't ever survive something like WoW or Lost Ark.

Maybe that's why they don't play those and chose this game.

also, LMAO at the thread tag
