Problem with toxic casual players on this forum

*snip* toxic casual players *snip*

I see we have a new buzzword being bantered around.

It shouldn't need to be said but it appears it does anyways. This game has a lot of individuals playing it. Each individual has their own opinion regarding issues regarding this expansion's storyline, voice acting, difficulty, and etc...

Just because some of these opinions differ from yours, doesn't mean they are toxic. Nor does it mean there is a Us vs Them dynamic going on where one side is right and the other side is wrong.

I get that you are passionate about your beliefs. That is a good thing. It means you care about Final Fantasy XIV and its future.

BUT

There is nothing to be gained from telling the developers to disregard all the viewpoints other than your own. Don't be a gatekeeper.

As my signature says...

Wild Star is a perfect example of this. Good MMO, but focused so much on the hardcore, it couldn't keep a healthy playerbase.

Yeah, when I saw the first trailer, I was so excited. Wild Star looked like it would be so much fun.

Then, new information started coming out and it totally turned me off. I knew from the get go it wasn't going to be my cup of tea. It wasn't much of surprise to hear of its quick demise.

What does this even mean? The only people who care about job viability ARE the hardcore players. Casuals aren't going to bat an eye if jobs are underperforming.

I think she means casual players will be driven out by a hardcore community which insisted only the top performing jobs be allowed in non-MSQ content. I'm glad that hasn't happened nor does it appear it will ever happen in this MMO.

As for your observation regarding casual players, you are spot on. A casual player is playing a job because they enjoy its gameplay, its appearance, or they have a concept of a character. Job performance as listed on a website from using a forbidden add-on isn't a consideration.
