Basic Etiquette tips for people new to FFXIV (or MMOs in general)

^_^ Thank you for the response. My mom has always taught me to "kill others with kindness" so I try to approach every situation with that in mind -- I try to be gracious despite how others might be treating me and what others might be thinking of me. I do not believe it right to presume that I understand someone else's intent by what they say or how they act, so I almost always forgive them for their slights and let it go. To me, this feels like the appropriate action to take. Of course, this way of thinking and acting leads to its own set of problems.


At any rate, I am going to keep being nice, and I hope everyone else will be inspired by your post to be nice, too. Thank you again for this optimistic thread. We will all improve, even me, we will all improve; I say, "bright tidings" to all who seek to improve in their humanity always.

You are the most ridiculously positive person I have ever seen post on these forums... perhaps the entire internet! lol

Amen to that!
