I can make a pretty educated guess that people on Mateus stay in our discord / don't post here because people on Mateus are like those on Balmung and have jobs, kids, school, life, and they don't want to spend their leisure time coming here and repeating themselves again and again, much less when some people seem determined to be offended.Â
I can't even post in the PuG rant thread about an overzealous healer without it becoming, "But hey, what's up with Mateus being such a mess amirite?"Â
No thanks.Â
I'm speaking more generally than to any one person and I'm sure it will read more snappy than intended, though make no mistake this is tiring and I am tired of it.Â
I've tried to be active in these forums because although it's unfair to expect the discord to not have any road bumps (there are hundreds of us now, after all), I don't like the idea of it seeming like the Mateus community "belongs" to any group of people or that any group of people are in charge of it, no matter how long they've been here or how level-headed they are. Because the server belongs to SE, period, and Balmung people have every right to play it on.
And Mateus natives or transfers should have every right to disagree with the consensus of aforementioned discord and not be ostracized from the community for it. Which isn't something I've seen happen, but is always a risk of becoming the norm when a community melds into one primary group and people get the impression that group is law.Â
However, ironically, I often feel unwelcome here as someone from Mateus, and somewhat hypocritically, my opinion of Balmung has become sour to the point I question my ability to continue speaking objectively. So this is my last post in this thread on this topic.Â
My final note is to say I still welcome all the transfers and they're free to get in contact with me for any reason at any time. I'm not in charge because no one is in charge, but I'll be happy to help you get settled in Mateus if needed.
