Are you here because you hate WoW or love FF14

Succumbing to sunken cost/time fallacy is not a voluntary action. Gaming companies know this, which is why so many of them design their stuff to exploit it. The same goes for FOMO. The average person won't even realize they're falling prey, let alone have the ability to do an about face. It normally takes an extremely significant change in whatever it is they've taken the bait on for them to realize they've been had and walk away.

It's even more difficult for people who've grown accustomed to not having much money. When you're poor, you know you have to make every penny count. It can make walking away from something like FFXIV a lot more challenging than it ought to be, particularly if you've played it for years.

Who's doing it, though?

I genuinely don't think I've seen any Yoshi P worship around here for quite some time.

I see a lot of people ACCUSED of Yoshi P worship, but those are people who are just explaining what they like about the game, offering counters to the...CHARITABLY "critiques" (more insults and spite, but let's pretend)...and who even offer their own critiques.

Who are these 2-3?

On the other hand, I see 5-10 (though at least some of those are alts) that are perma-FFXIV haters, who frequently engage in spats with other players/posters, start bait threads, attack and insult other posters, attack and insult the devs, and attack and insult (not critique) the game. I've even pointed out before, if one is attacking other posters, they aren't offering critique on the game itself, yet those people continue to do it.

So who are the 2-3 Yoshi P worshipers here? Can you point out some of their posts? If they're so prevalent, they must be all over, right?

I'm not even going to bother humoring you, because I've seen precisely how you operate in other threads. (It's also likely against the forum ToS anyway). It really brings us back to one of the statements in my previous post:

even if it means engaging in some of the most blatantly disingenuous argumentation tactics imaginable.

You should run along and go back to arguing the semantics of everyday colloquialisms, or perhaps return to arguing past people in the Healer DPS thread without actually bothering to read and understand any of the content of their posts.

I played WoW until I realized they were not earning my money, when I realized that, I left. I dont hate it, dont love it, but they lost my business. something I highly recommend anyone evaluate for any game they play. if you are not having fun, if they are not earning the money you give them, for the love of the gods, stop giving it to them.

there were things I enjoyed in WoW but the leadership, be it devs or otherwise, could care less and went their own direction. THATS FINE! its their game, they can do what they want with it. same with 14, there are things I am not overly happy about, but I can still live with the direction. when 14 stops earning my money, I will leave here too.

until that time.. I used to play WoW, I no longer do. period, I leave love or hate up to the OP, they seem to have a handle on those...

That RMT mindset really poisons people’s brains about these persistent progression type games…

Both.

I'm the weird one that enjoys both. They both have their positives and negatives. Though both games are taking a back seat to Baldur's Gate 3, Armored Core 6 and soon Starfield.
