"We need to talk"

Man no we don't.

i cannot for the life of me understand why people bump threads just to say in said thread how much they dont want to engage with it.

This article doesn't go into nearly as much depth as it could. It briefly touches on the absence of exploratory zones and the problems with criterion's reward structure, while barely getting into the formulaic rollout and that's about it. From how people in this thread were reacting, (attacking the source instead of just reading the thing and discussing what is being said) I thought the article was gonna call out the lackluster alliance raids, the samey jobs, the sorta lukewarm way their 10 year story was resolved and the post-story that lost a lot of people and ultimately felt like filler, etc etc etc but instead they sorta gently touched on a couple of new features that could use some improvements going forward and of course that's all it takes for the fanboys here to lose their mind.

Going off the first reply, and a reply I saw earlier where someone who asked what they should do in the game was told to just google it, it legit seems like there's a certain camp that just wants to use these forums as a kind of offtopic hub for talking about coffee or spamming emotes at each other.

You are aware this is a board for talking about Final Fantasy XIV, right?

This dude is literally screaming that the game is dying every single day and how people in this game are bad, might be a good time to move on to a different game.

And you comment the same things too every single day. It bothers you more to simply ignore it than flash some authoritarianism around. I'm laughing at you every single time you bump me

Yeah it's for talking about Final Fantasy XIV, but there's no sentiment in that article that hasn't already been posted here ad nauseam. It's making reading these boards during lunch at work boring.

That's what makes the article worth discussing imo. In any other forum for any other game, if there were issues that a segment of the player base had been screaming into the void about for years, they'd absolutely talk about it if a mainstream gaming magazine wrote an article bringing up some of those issues. Does it go into as much detail as it could? Not enough, imo. But that is another area worth discussing.

Have you considered blocking people and ignoring their threads when they consistently make posts you don't like? That is a function on this site. Granted, it does leave some things to be desired, but it's still better than bumping their thread to talk about how much you can't stand the person who made it.

The people in this thread who want to shut down discussion on this topic or who keep trying to redirect the focus onto the OP and why he's still subscribed, just look like they're afraid of talking about the fact that their favorite MMO has flaws so glaring that even a game journalist could pick them out. Have you considered taking your own advice? If this place bores you, or you feel like the discussion is too redundant, perhaps visit another forum.

It's the same super defensive people with nothing to add every single time. I'm just evicting them from my post because frankly. They're as repetitive as this game is and I'm not as easily amused
