Game Design Concepts that the Devs and Playerbase has Forgotten

[Aword3213]

I finally got the time to use my pc. I'll try to repond directly to your point since it's the first time I see you refute with earnestness.

Because see, what just happened here is you took someone who posts positive things about the game, lied about what they do, and then used it to attack them (all to the applause of your fellows as the "likes" suggest). That's exactly what I'm takling about.

You need to subject yourself to the same standard as you did to others.

Here, you rant by making generalization in a disrepectful way

watch the echo chamber descend on you, attack you, belittle you, and high-five each other while they do it.

Then you threw a fit when people generalized the opposite side to serve as counterpoint

They were not lying though. Here are the examples showing the hypocrisy in your narrative.

Point proven! Genuine challenge - please show me where I have posted fallacies, misinformation, etc..
Also, I wasn't even talking about me, specifically, though you could go to the infamous "strike" thread where I dared to point out that I've found I need to heal more often in DT (which multiple other posters have said as well) only to have the first response just insinuate "you must be bad at healing". That's a glowing example of what I mean.

Or just check out any of the positive threads on here. Watch how quickly the negative group descends on it. Here's a great example:

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...hread-SPOILERS

Within 1 minute of posting, before the person could even explain what they liked, you had two passive-aggressive attacks getting several dozen high-fives, followed by multiple others down the line.

It's very common to see threads get derailed by irrelevant responses. A lot of times people just ignore the rules set by the opening posts and continue on their marry way to post whatever. Just read some posts in the #healerstrike thread, which you fervently attached to, you'll see it soon got derailed in the same manner as the link you provided.

It just happens. It's natural. Welcome to the internet. Both sides are guilty of this. It's so commonly seen that I don't think it's whataboutism. However, you seemed to be emotional about it. It's fine if you want to point that out, but it would be very disingenuous of you when you're clearly one-sided.

Look at the sheer number of negative threads about virtually anything and compare to the number of positive ones, then watch how even in those minute few positive threads, the negative posters still come in and flood it.

I think you should step away from the forum for some time. If this forum upsets you so much, might I suggest you to frequent a more positive medium such as Reddit?

Why deny what this place is? Cut out the whataboutism (Reddit) and let's just acknowledge reality.

The reality is that many people have engaged with you in good faith in the past. However, you exhibit a clear pattern that you tend to disregard on-point counter argument, then return pages later with the same argument people refuted pages ago, time and time again. It's a very disrespectful behavior. You should notice by now you've been called out by multiple different accounts thanks to your recent contribution to #healerstrike thread.

I think something that might help with your perspective on me is my intentions, though. I'm not generally expecting to change people's minds here. I'm pretty confident I know the kind of echo chamber that's been set up and the type of people that push it. I've also seen what happens to people who post positive things meekly. I know the biggest thing that certain kinds of people aren't used to is having someone they're pushing around actually push back, so I do..

Has it ever occured to you that the biggest echo chamber in the game is the Silent Majority you keep conjuring up in your posts?

You see, if the Silent Majority disagrees with whatever people on the forums are complaining about, and they are 100% happy about the state of the game as you so frequently point out, that means the Silent Majority has only one mind. It fits the definition of Echo Chamber. One can also consider them a Hivemind.

And no, a couple of people going into a deluge of negative posts to say a couple positive things is not equivalent to a deluge of people trying to take over and wreck any rare positive thread that dares crop up. Little squeaks in a giant sea of negativity are not equivalent to a chorus invading a positive thread to drown it out. The group that has the immense numerical advantage bears the brunt of responsibility there. If your post is an attempt at being genuine, please, please take some time to learn what the concept of a metaphorical "echo chamber" refers to. Asking for one or two positive threads to stay positive in a sea of dozens of negative threads is "literally" the opposite of an echo chamber.

Positive threads getting drawned fast is hardly the the fault of negativity. It's just very difficult to generate discussion. If you visit twitter or reddit, you'll see the comment section in positvie topics are very boring to read.
