It's a good bias anon. And accurate but the XIV ecosystem on DW are either overpowered rejects(WoLs) or ostracized (they play NPCs instead of OCs how gauche) from the in-game community so it's pretty fucked and not the litmus test I'd suggest

XIV players don't seem to realize they all look like assholes from the outside.

XIV players are why i stopped playing from final fantasy games. Every single one i ran into expected their WoL OC to be relevant to my character from another title entirely because chocobos or whatever else.

DW XIV players are the ones that even the *fuks u gud* rpers wouldn't touch

that is exactly it. it seemed like every WoL player i ran into was running on thirst and looking for any possible in.

Re: CAST CAPS

i don’t know why you think that because WoL OCs love (most) NPC characters, doubly so if they play hot ones that everyone lusts over

Re: CAST CAPS

they probably mean from the actual roleplay community within ffxiv. it's rare to see WoLs there, ime, and most NPC players are cosplay accounts or joke accounts.

i think it'd be neat if dwrp games banned wols but allowed setting ocs in games, the kind with no canon npc relationships allowed, which is what most people in the xiv community play.

This is exactly what I meant, and I like that idea a lot

the comment i responded to explicitly specified dreamwidth in here: https://wankgate.dreamwidth.org/66525.html?thread=268639965#cmt268639965

i'd also disgree that all NPC accounts are only jokes/cosplay. there are definitely some that are RPing as NPCs, but usually ones like the heavenwards knights. there was a nanamo running around on balmung a few years back too. they aren't that common though since as mentioned above most people are playing OCs with no canon relationships to NPCs.

however that doesn't automatically make them better because i have seen some truly insane backstories like characters being dragons in disguise, the secret love child from the garlean royal family, secret princes/princesses on the run, etc. because some people absolutely can't stand not being the center of attention or the story revolving around them.
