All I ended up doing was instigating more [url=http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=3253&pid=40389#pid40389]things[/url].
That post really bothers me because I thought that this website was the community. Seeing that made me understand how the veteran players feel. All of the staff and a majority of the people here play on Balmung. So I think that's why anyone from Gilgamesh can be so defensive, and why Balmung players feel like we're encroaching on their community. At any rate I really don't feel welcome here anymore and I probably never was the moment I picked my server. I understand that it's not reflective of the community as a whole, but how volatile the topic is proves that many do feel that way.
This bothers me enough to just stop coming here. I know nobody cares or will see this, but I guess I just wanted to vent a little and to apologize to anyone bothered by my presence on your website.
