FFXIV Trolls

[Malakhim]

I've been reading a lot of threads recently and it seems like whenever somebody voices distaste for the FFXIV's systems or the way SE has been handling things they are inevitably labeled as a troll.

I honestly disagree with this. I don't think there are many trolls at all. I'm sure all of these people want the game to be changed for the better. I don't believe anybody would be wasting their time on a forum for a game they knew/wanted to die.

Just my thoughts.

You haven't been on the internet for that long then... >.>

Either way I agree with MZ.

Also

It's worse than you think actually.

The moderators are suspending accounts and closing any threads in which there is a disagreement between two crowds of people. For example, there was a WoW thread a while ago that was locked because the moderator felt "comparing FFXIV to other titles" creates undesired debates, then slapped the FFXIV forum guidelines in their post (which had nothing to do with the thread's validity mind you). I was not the creator of the thread, but I didn't see anything wrong with the subject matter.

This is likely due to one of two things: the forum moderators here have a bias'ed interpretation of what's considered an offensive argument, or the forum moderators are trying to isolate a specific group of opinions in order to influence feedback somehow.

OR, it could just be that due to the general vibe of the posters on the official forums thus far, they've decided that those types of threads are relatively pointless, lead to unsubstantiated insults against posters or other instances of trolling(not necessarily the OP's), and are a pain in the ass to moderate.
