WoW community is a trash can. You can make a polite suggestion like “hey, did you know the Int. Trinket is not unique and can be equiped twice? If you didn’t just FYI it will give you greater returns.” Done deal, thats it move on.
Let it go…
Anything beyond that is obsessive and borderline nutty.
I wouldn’t say the middle is exactly thriving in WoW either, and it hasn’t been for some time. The way the game is set up most end up on one end or the other instead of the middle.
Nobody is putting a gun to a person’s head lolz to behave , again these ppl who try to fake their personalities are too addicted to the game and fear the consequences that they can’t satisfy their urges if they get banned , it isn’t survival of the fittest - the big difference is Blizzard isn’t enforcing their CoC as much as FF14 is .
Only two things will make ppl behave morals or consequences.
a player in a major guild got a 30 day ban during DSU prog all cause they were using a 3rd party addon and it turned into a clown fiesta. a metaphorical gun is still being used play by our rules or we ban you. if that isnt force what is?
Iv been playing Wrath classic for about a month + , gotta say the community is horrid , way worst than retail.,… i think the average player age is probably like 15-18
So not a gun
Real life threat that is not protected as free speech by the US Government otherwise its JUST A GAME
Well Duh its their game so its their rules , I don’t go to your house and say you follow my rules or get kicked
obviously this is all in context of a video game im not sure wither your intentionally or not misconstruing what im saying or what your point is at all here do as we say or get banned is still force even in context.
i understand that’s their TOS my whole point was the ToS says play nice or get yeeted.
Worth noting that FFXIV does not have anything above entry level dungeon content, and outside of Savage Raiding, Raiding is LFR style and difficulty.
There’s a lot less for people to take seriously in the first place in that game as a result.
But yes overall its still a nicer community than here.
That was 2 people out of 10 million. Block them, report them and move on with life.
Classic was way more toxic then retail has been. Arthas forbid you dont have top raid gear otherwise you must be bad at the game.
9 times out of 10 they would have screwed up the skip anyhow.
Classic is no better.
based and true
Dude you are SO right. Why play a game if you don’t want to play the game? Why play if you just want the developers to give you everything with minimal effort? Is this crowd even playing for any other reason other than to simply rush to the highest level and get the most powerful equipment just so they can say they have it?
Go play another game lol… Jeeez
Classic is so much damn fun. It’s challenging. You actually have to explore and search for certain items. Quest objects don’t have a damn Batman beacon lit up over them. Enemies WILL kill you lol. Leveling is a journey. So are getting professions up and certain class abilities. I absolutely love it.
Try alliance we are much nicer people.
Super long post about how WoW bad, due to ONE interaction.
It’s the usual “WoW bad, FFXIV good” parroting that you can usually see on that game’s GD forum… and literally everywhere else related to the game.
FFXIV 2.0 was essentially almost wholesale copied off WoW, but for some reason, WoW’s the big bad boogeyman to FFXIV-only players. It was ridiculous to me before I actually tried WoW, and it’s even more ridiculous to me now that I’ve quit and moved to WoW.
And in my experience ff14 is pretty dam toxic if you don’t know the strats at end game. Classic are toxic all round, oh you joined a guild pug? Guess what half the stuff on reserve. No wasn’t in title you just expect it.
Honestly I’d say it’s far more toxic outside of endgame, personally. Maybe PUGing Savage is crap, I wouldn’t know as I was part of a static back when I bothered, but most of the toxicity I encountered in FFXIV over 10 years was in casual content - from people who think they don’t have to try and carry their weight or bother to learn even bare basics of how to play the game, lol!
But yeah, FFXIV is just as toxic as WoW supposedly is. Just usually on the opposite spectrum.
It can be when you have authoritarianism involved. The mods and report systems chin-check anyone causing non-happy emotions and create a “We Happy Few” style scenario lol. Even the reddit and alot of the social media groups ban you if you speak bad about the game.
It’s a “there’s no war in ba-sing-se” community.
Op literally reads like a r/thathappened post.
