my dude. my friend. my pal. my little buddy. we are on wankgate.

i'm sorry reading is difficult for you and your only form of communications is through memes.

ugly laughed at going into heat

i'm so glad i do all my xiv shit on memes and with friends so i don't have to deal with the constant shit heap that is game adjacent wol wank

highly, highly uncool

hi5 fellow xiv meme goer. i've gotten some pretty good cross canon threads just by hitting people up and being tagged by them myself.

genuine question just what is it about wols that bring the crazy out? i don't play this game so i dont really know what makes wols so different

we still dont really like it when you reach out and touch the shit instead of just pointing and laughing, shitfingers

as someone who plays a wol: projection. extreme extreme projection. the game treats the Warrior like they are the singular protag in an RPG. everyone needs your help, everyone can only be helped by you, you can only impact meaningful change and no one else can do it, and so you are very special and lauded and end up saving the continent/world/universe.

(the actual game is a bit more nuanced especially in later expansions, the silent protag clearly resents the lauding to some degree [ or outright, depending on your class ] and is very traumatized. but then people smart enough to pick up on that have the ptsd riddled but-only-for-buttpats depression 'uwu come hug my sad boy' types.)

an actual nuanced wol is pretty hard to find imo.

also no one can understand "gameplay and story segregation", and unlike WoW you can level every single class on one character. so clearly your wol is super special and has done ALL THE THINGS and it's ABSOLUTELY CANON despite the fact it'd be very weird to like. have done the white mage questline and also the dark knight one without some serious reconciliation. (and again, misinterpreting that the game gives you shoutouts from npcs in msq cutscenes if you do do this)

i am pointing out the contradiction between shrieking for people identify themselves while remaining anon on wankgate, my smooth brained shit fingered friend

ty for explaining! i would never have known this ngl from the wols i've seen.

they all kind of just come off as generic sparkly ocs to me that people throw out to smut with so I never quite understood why people got obsessed with playing wols

oh yeah, it gets very sparkly when you don't really consider all the various aspects and what they've gone through. admittedly, the last expansion really dials up that you are The Special One (and I say this while otherwise loving Endwalker, but I could see how this was gonna get RP'd a mile away)

my general rule of thumb is if the info post wouldn't be out of place on a 2004 gaia forum I just don't engage. and I don't blame anyone for swearing wols off.

there is no contradiction

i just think you should be shunned if you do this cringy shit

also lmao "shrieking"

youre very mad that your edgelord harassment backfired on you and led to exactly 0 people thinking youre cool huh dipshit wol player #2670952

ffxiv is a wildly popular game with something around the realm of 25 million players, so sheer numbers is also in effect.

it's also as the anon above me said, the game treats the player like a jrpg protagonist and that means that npcs will adore you, and lots of cutscenes that your character appears in. it's a big contrast from WoW during it's high point because while it was wildly popular, your character was completely passive and basically a non-entity in the story. the cutscenes would focus on the game npcs and while the npcs would acknowledge the player, it doesn't carry over from quest to quest. you'd wrap up a quest with a NPC in one zone and then the next time they see you, they treat your character like a stranger.

that's the other part about ffxiv is that the npcs will remember the WoL and refer to them even if it's been literally years between them. the dark knight capstone quests is tracking down the writer of a letter sent to you, and it turns out to have been a one off npc that you met somewhere in the 40-50 quests. if you'd been playing the game since heavensward and had finished leveling dark knight then, it means the last time you saw the npc was somewhere in 2015/2016. and that's only for a very minor NPC that was clearly not given much thought in the initial release. now imagine having a whole cast of pretty, powerful characters that revolve around your own Warrior of Light, that players get attached to. now imagine them carrying over that attachment to RP, both towards NPCs and their special Warrior of Light.

interestingly enough, the WoL problem isn't much of a issue within in-game FFXIV RP as it's actually frowned upon, since everyone is experiencing the same story as the WoL. instead, what people do is play OCs in the setting. however, the NPC projection is real as some people will recreate NPCs and play as them instead, which leads to some players getting attached.

but i don't think it's just a ffxiv problem. there is rp drama everywhere, ffxiv is most notable right now because of it's popularity. it's like how homestuck was seen as crazy because of how popular it was.

my amigo from ala mhigo, i am not the one doing any harassing but i also have zero sympathy for neth considering how people have had to deal with to her. please calm yourself down since you seem to be seeing edgelords everywhere.

what a strange and irrelevant place to take this thread

"i am not harassing her, i simply think she should be harassed"

yeah thats way better and very convincing, good job

idk i think it's weird for people to be suddenly finger wagging about decorum about harassment when the community is basically built on shitstirring and lowkey harassment.

otoh i think what the edgy WoLord left is extremely cringe, dramatic, and very much someone i would like to avoid. it was also really stupid because it lets neth do what she loves the most: playing victim. the fact that someone has come here with "i have screencaps from a friend's plurk about this" makes it seem like she's milking it for what it's worth.

let me rephrase it in a way your smooth peanut-sized brain can comprehend: considering the amount of people she's harassed over the years, she is reaping what she has sown. but please, continue to fling yourself upon the cross of neth.

it has literally never been acceptable to harass people and tell them to leave the hobby for being cringe. the only big case i can think of where it's been tolerated was treegate and that wasnt people telling the player they need to leave forever, that was just joking around on their ic posts. i think even that would be questionable now

this is not a sudden development, wg has looked down on brigading and abusing opt-outs/hmds to harass people for years. idk where youve been

so in other words

you simply think she deserves to be harassed

do you suffer from cognitive impairment or something
