Logical Fallacies When Discussing Things within XIV

[DrWho2010]

Most of the time people want to turn this game into an entirely different one. Then disagree and get mad when it's pointed out to them.

Also a lot of people aren't interested in debate or discussion. They want to state their opinion and then have the thread or forum just become an echo chamber.

One thing I never really understand with how people in the community function (I've been experiencing this since Shadowbringers specifically), is that everything is an absolute or an extreme, or a situation where if the others win you lose. I'm am just as guilty of this as anyone else, and I noticed that type of mindset becoming more normal for me and others I know who have played XIV for a long time.

Some examples being:

• If someone talks about how they're enjoying XIV someone has to talk about how they aren't, or vice versa.
  
• Someone will say they want more content, given they have more time, and someone who is more casual oriented who already is ok with the lack of time they personally have to spend on XIV seeing it as a slight to how they play.
  
• People feeling the need to tell people to quit when someone made a tempered take about the state of the game, explaining their thoughts in a fair way.
  
• The assumption that someone hates the game in it's entirety for wanting change.

I feel like between a lot of the bickering we all do and at times unfair mental gymnastics played, it becomes impossible to not only give feed back or to even see if there are worth while player made solutions to known issues within the game. But to also discuss the reality of the game good and bad.


And I know a lot of this may end up being trolls or people talking around points. And I'm in no way trying to come off as condescending with a post like this. But I mean, fair question(s) here.

This is a sympton of the issue with society today. Topics always get segregated into two distinct camps. This or that, all or nothing, etc.

Tribalism is dumb and sucks.
