Serious business And when you see that Legacy chocobo running past you in 2.0, flip him the bird
The problem is not an individual's pride in being a Legacy member. We all want FFXIV to have the best community possible and have a comfortable environment for everyone to play in. I already see people disparage others' opinions because they have a low post count or because they only have a level 30 Class. Having pride in their accomplishments is everyone's right. By the same token, though, if the source of that pride is used as a status symbol to hold over others, it transforms into something else entirely.

We Legacy players have many, many things going for us. And while I don't particularly feel strongly one way or the other about a legacy icon on the Forums, you are taking the criticisms here too lightly. They are legitimate concerns.
