GM's closing threads?

[LittleArrow]

Hey there,

I'm very curious and concerned about GM's constantly closing technical problem threads.

Does anyone know why they instantly close the thread?

I was thinking they close those threads to keep the forums clean, but by closing those threads they're completely cutting off people that could have a solution from helping. Since we have no private message system in the forums or Lodestone, I really don't see how people could contact a user to help them with their problems.

Anyhow, if anyone could possibly help me with a graphics glitch here are a couple links explaining the problem:

If anyone could help, I would sincerely appreciate any advice.

Thanks so much,
~L.A.

It's the resized spells. Theyre supposed to look like that now.

They're supposed to have huge white blocks? O.o

I don't think so... I've only noticed this when I'm far away. Once I get close up I see the effects just fine. I don't believe those huge white blocks are supposed to be there. >.>;

Speaking of resized spells they have to go please, especially the healing ones, everytime I'm doing behest I get lost in the effects, I kinda disappear in there and I just spam "Enter" and hope I'm hitting something.

Your ATI 5850 is better than mine and you run on much lower settings than me.

I run on
Windowed 1680x1050,
Multisampling 8xMSAA,
General Drawing Quality 8 (Standard),
Background Drawing Quality 5,
Shadow Detail Highest,
Texture Quality High,
Texture Filtering Highest.

Have you tried yanking up the graphics to see? Do you have DoF turned off?

[LittleArrow]

Yes I have DoF turned off, and when I attempted to run on higher settings I noticed a significant reduction in quality and FPS. I'll go try that now, thanks so much Premium Virtue for bring up this point!

They don't delete them, they move them to the proper forum. I would reccomend reposting your problem here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forums/135

Delete and closing are different. I'm not saying they delete the threads, I'm saying they close them which I do not understand as it is cutting off other players that may have potentially helpful advice. ^^
