While I think it’s perfectly fair to disagree with someone, I think perhaps we have taken a few things too far. Whether it’s because of our strong personalities and opinions, or other reasons, I can’t be sure. I think that in all this tension, we’re forgetting what really brought us together here and made us a great community — each other.Â
So, RPC, I just want say: Thank You.Â
Thank you to all the people who have welcomed me and made me feel at home here. To the people who helped me with lore and backstory. To all the incredible artists we have that go out of their way to draw for those who can’t. To our beautiful mentors and everyone else who are reaching out to our new players with open arms. To our new players, who are helping us form new friendships and stories. To our mods and administrators, and our wiki pros. To all the people I’ve yet to meet. Each and every one of you help make this place beautiful.Â
Even if we don’t agree, or never meet, I am glad you are here. I will support you.Â
tl;dr: Hug some trees, bitches. What are you thankful for about the RPC? Let’s have a positive discussion.Â
Well said. I realize we in-fight a lot, and sometimes I even throw myself into the middle of it, but, and I think I speak for everyone here, it's never personal. There are plenty of people here that I get into arguments with one day and then up-rep the next. I have a lot of respect for each and every one of you here, despite our disagreements. As some of you have even seen in Intermission over the last few weekends, I never shut up. I love talking to all of you, and I'm glad I found a gaming community that I actually enjoy being a part of. People like you all are the reason I want to settle in FFXIV and stop MMO-hopping.
