Oh heavens I hope my post didn't seem like a naysayer, I apologize if it did.
I'm spending far more time on Mateus than I have even been able to Balmung, and at this point I'm highly thinking of calling my character on Mateus my main, I only brought up and showed that screen shot, because it's unsettling to see that when your happy minding your own business and people crap all over you whether intentionally or not. I highly doubt the people speaking knew I was a Balmung transfer as I ran by, nor do I think they cared, but it's kind of unnerving to feel unwelcomed like that out of the blue.
Other than this one experience I've enjoyed my time on Mateus so far and I've gotten a few tells complimenting my character etc. So in no way shape or form am I bashing it, but if problems aren't brought to the forefront they fester and get worse.
The issue here is the problems have been brought to the forefront. Often and repeatedly. There is more than one thread about this, take a look around and you'll see them. It has been discussed in this thread already. There has been talk of it on the Mateus discord, too.Â
People are aware. Very much so. I realize now it wasn't your intention but at this point posts that ring of "Look what Mateus did! Look what mean things Mateus said about Balmung!" and nothing else seem not only to be beating a dead horse but dragging its corpse through the mud. To people who otherwise know nothing about us, this should not be the only impression they are given to work with, because it's a false one.
