How can we reopen the FF14 subreddit?

[Donoman]

Going to be real I don't know why people struggle to find information about this game it's pretty well-documented if you know where to look.

Nobody knows where to look, which is why the same questions get asked over and over again on Reddit and become the top Google searches that we now don't have access to lol.

I thought the main sub was just people posting their catgirls and forced positivity?

As someone who googles questions about the game a lot and always get reddit posts, it did bother me a bit. Luckily, I found a solution when you need to see a post from ffxiv reddit while it's closed down. You can put "cache:" in front of the url and it will show when google last checked the post. It doesn't always work but it did help me a few times. Actually, the subreddit being private led me to lurk threads here instead lol.

I am so sorry that the average Redditor becomes braindead when the site goes down and can't function without their updoots.

When are people going to learn that dragging others into their protests by forcefully inconveniencing them is not going to make them want to support them but rather go against them instead?

THIS.....on so many levels.

Honestly tho, I'm curious if you can still access it during the blackout (I do actually support it). It's set to private, so does that mean I have to ask someone's permission to view it?

Reddit is hardly the only source of information on the game.

You want info on how to play your class? The Balance.
You want fishing timers or other related info? FF14 Angler.
Gathering timers? FFXIV Gathering
Crafting leveling guides? Icy Veins
MSQ guides? The FF14 Wiki
Glamour info? The Glamour Collection
Money making? UhhOlivia's blog is a godsend

All of these sites were found using a simple Google search and have been my main source of information for the past three years I've been in this game. I've maybe used Reddit a handful of times for really obscure searches like the JP theory with Atma gathering.

Hell, YouTube can replace all of the above since there's basically been a video on everything under the sun made.

Have never needed to go to Reddit for anything. Take a break, do something else.

I think it's these moderators who need to go touch grass or something, they even have the audacity to ask people money....
Maybe getting an actual working job would be a good idea too.

Nothing against Pride or people donating to other good causes, but asking people to give money when you are withholding access to information and communication with others because you're on a power trip and are a bunch of freeloaders, is something else...

These moderators need to be removed and replaced ASAP, and July can't come soon enough...

It's a bummer when you have to google something and a lot of information is found on reddit. It's questionable if anything comes out of this reddit demonstration, but if that is what it takes to go against big corporations.. the price of freedom is steep.

This is the reason I advocated for restricted mode. Still allowed you to find the info, but didn't allow any new submissions.

Looked at the FFXIV art there, some were really good, but after seeing yet another Y'sthola or Miqo'te for the 5024th time it's getting old real fast. I usually take my lead from wiki and use Icy Veins for stats and materia melding. Guides I watch on youtube.

Esecially when they got so bad that other subreddits had to be created to actually discuss FF14

The highly upvoted poster of that sub is a repost bot that posts PixV, Twitter ,Social media linked art that "coincidentally" are from artists that take commissions.


I wouldn't be surprised if the mods on that subreddit get kickbacks from artists hence why art is almost always at the top.
