Normally I would agree but for RPers who value Community most of all that can decide what kind of RPers would come to your game let alone your server and if your community gets a reputation of having a certain community it will attract more of that community while warding away those who want to avoid it and as I said before this is especially true for RPers.
Also I never never said anything I just linked two folks who did say it.
That’s fair. And doubtless WoW’s famous “rampant toxicity” (which has, across playing since Vanilla or 1.x in WoW and XIV, respectively, been slightly more the case in XIV than WoW) or even “DKP” or “Ninja-looters” (no longer a thing) play a factor in bringing more thick skinned (or even actually toxic) players here, while sending more of the thin-skinned to, say, XIV or ESO.
All I mean by this, as general thread-pertinent advice, is that the most extreme situations will almost certainly garner the most attention; one shouldn’t conflate the number of views or replies (excepting the likes of “I had the same experience”) with actual prevalence of incidents like the one reported.
Well you have to go by server by server basis. Going back to Rp servers of the two Major ones MG and WRA I would say WRA is the more “Thin Skinned”. Also you must remeber that most WoW players hated the new loot system and and wanted to go back to the old DKP system in Classic when people got upset about ninja looters others chimed in about how that if they did not like it go to back to retail.
I replied to him in the other thread he’s trolling in about it. But he’s focused on it, which makes me wonder more about him than FF.
I’ve played both extensively and WoW has far more problems with it. To the point they done that big crackdown a few years ago, only for it to resume almost instantly.
I was someone who was extremely skeptical about FF14 for a while when word was going around about it. I wasn’t into Final Fantasy, I didn’t go into it expecting to find a WoW replacement, and I wasn’t trying very hard to give the game an honest shot at first. I had a complete change of heart upon buying the game and putting in the effort to push through ARR and experience the game in full. It’s no question to me that FF14 is the better game for numerous reasons, while WoW continues to both decline in overall quality and rapidly slide in a direction that I just fundamentally disagree with. I joined this game in Cataclysm and was willing to defend it to the moon and back. I raided all throughout BFA. Shadowlands was announced and I found no motivation to keep going.
FF14 is far more modernized, looks much better, has far better class gameplay than people tend to give it credit for, has a fantastic story, and has one of the best soundtracks in gaming. The content of the game is so much more widespread than in WoW, and usual MMO features like player housing are present. Other people more eloquent than I have often delved deep into exactly why it is they consider it to be WoW’s superior, and I came to understand where they were coming from eventually.
It’s pure conceit to gaslight people as being liars for considering FF14 to be a better game and MMO, as though retail WoW is above criticism and it’s just an assumed wisdom that it’s the “best”. And undercuts both the love and respect that the game’s director has for WoW as well as the tremendous effort the team went to in order to salvage the initial failure of 1.0 into one of the genre’s biggest successes.
Whether one game is “better” to someone than the other is a matter of personal taste and opinion. I understand full well that some people will just prefer WoW, or any other particular MMO, and their own reasons are perfectly valid for them. But by objective and technical merit, FF14 does indeed surpass WoW by virtue of not being an archaic game from 2004.
In fact in retrospect, I’ve recently come to realize that the vast majority of MMOs that have been successful enough to have a sizeable playerbase are usually better than WoW in some form or another, mostly because they tend to have basic MMO features WoW has lacked for over fifteen years.
I got a dude that looks like Rasputin the mad monk, and I friggen love it. There are some pretty great looking “not so anime” options. There’s a lot of customization here.
