Why is the playerbase so mentally fragile now

not a fact supported by evidence

Yes, this was my point.

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.

XIV does not attract so many mentally fragile people. The forums attract a lot of very bad trolls though.

Blame the society that decided it was better to reward children for failure simply because they were worried their "feelings" would get hurt.

Ahh yes because it's not like folks from all over the world play this game or anything...people from very different societies n such. Blanket statements like that hold little weight in a global MMO

This is definitely a thing that actually happened.

I can actually confirm these things do happen. I don't know about it being more common now, since I haven't actually been playing, but things like this were happening the last time I played.

Something tells me that you left out a lot of details so that you look better than you were at that moment.

Oh sod of with this 'Oh why are people so mentally fragile' bullcrap. You want to troll, you can do it without being a bully or a jerk. Have some pride in your trolling! Sheesh! Perople are really trying to hard to be the new edgy bad boy of the forum.

No idea where you meet those people or how you trigger them, I rarely see these issues? if at all?

Is this a NA thing?

Funny how when healer, tanks and dps aren't picking up the slack and you call them out it's harrassing but if you slack off on your irl job and get called out I am sure you pick up your slack. If you are doing terrible you should be called out because a dose of reality is as good as any medicine and makes you focus again. So next time if you are doing terrible instead of crying that your feelings were hurt find out why you are doing terrible with your skills and how you can improve upon it

Whining on the forums is also fragility m8
