Same, I love the game but I absolutely HATE the community. Between the toxic positivity and the hive mind mentality (Like don't you DARE say you don't like something about the story or GOD FORBID you prefer to raid/do dungeons - you suddenly become the devil) I just stick to myself
Damn, sometimes I wonder at these FFXIV stories. I'm an officer in my FC and I've seen my share of drama but a lot of these FFXIV stories make me feel like I'm playing a different game.
I've been in one, albeit small drama, but drama nonetheless. Girlfriend-boyfriend leadership guilds/FCs are big nono in any game. Any drama between those two will result in massive ripple across the whole (small but still) community
I guarantee you the people in this FC were the problem. This sounds like a classic case of turbo casuals who genuinely believe that WoW and damage meters are the devil having an aneurism because someone said the word dps.
Honestly, I'm glad that Drama Time keeps going, it's the only MMO-related content that I regularly watch every single time there's a new upload, and it's the only part of your content I watch apart from RWF.
I don't know what it is about drama time, but you are very entertaining in your delivery and always makes me really happy to see uploads. please keep it going! and thank you 😀
Honestly the Vibe Check story had me until the end. 'Cause yeah, only WoW players are toxic. Suuuuure. As someone who was playing FFXIV and WoW at the same time BEFORE all the wow-refugees came in, I can promise you FFXIV has its fair share of assholes. FFXIV and WoW are only different in that FFXIV players like to pretend there is no drama while WoW players shrug and go 'it is what it is'
Drama Time is the best that ever happened to TH-cam content. I also play one of the older seasons as comfort sound to my dog when I'm not at home. Love it ❤ (been watching it since original llama 🦙 backdrop 😊)
I’m not taking one side or the other, and what I say, I say with all due respect to everyone, but that last story is why personal loot existed. If people didn’t deliberately miss, treat other people, and deliberately take things from them with malice, personal loot wouldn’t have been a thing.
VIBE CHECK, 💯 PERCENT TRUE. I played FFXIV from beta & in the beginning of FFXIV 80 to 90% of the people in 14 were from WoW & the what we all know of the 14 community was true from the get go in most of the guilds. Hell I was a WoW player, I was a GM, & a raid leader where being a prick is part of the job description when it cam to hard core raiding. And most people do not know the meaning of Hard Core, Hard Core just means doing what must be done to kill the next raid boss, hell I've even had to replace myself b/c of problems w/ my PC, lag spikes, just normal lag, or me not able to concentrate on the fight b/c of RL problem (yes also call them PC problems) but always replaced people for only "PC problems" so people could keep face, & always got them help with their job if needed w/o embarrassing them in front of other people. So Hard Core never meant being an asshole for zero reason. You want people to play better in your static raid group, you had to show them & keep their respect, lose it & if they still play good, it is only to get their ranking up on the World of Logs. I also played the top ten MMOs at one time, & there is one thing that is 100 percent true, how you conduct yourself, especially toward strangers will make an an impression, doubly so if you're the GM or an Officer of a Guild, your reputations matter & reputations & that of your guild on your the server. And to have a good rep all you'd need to do is when you see someone killing someone for a quest, as a healer toss a heal on them, I was a PLD when I leveled up, so I'd stone skin people, or if I saw them in a lot of trouble I'd toss my teather on them & take all of their incoming damage. ...never mind, I'm too tired to keep ranting.
ffxiv players thinking their community does not have a ton of assholes blows my mind. I love how wow players never talk about ffxiv, but when I play ffxiv I hear about wow more than when I play wow.
I think it’s fine to do the roll for your friend thing if it’s on a smaller scale and you’re also at least semi carrying a group, Aka if I joint a pug normal or pug M+5 with my low geared friend but I’m top damage by like 30%. I’ll roll need or just give my friend any loot I get from M+ without a second thought
Look out after your own. Its abit extreme how they did it but i half agree with the guild, i'd rather have items for the guild than for the pugs, but not everything is free to grab.
FF nerds are the worst kind of people. In their heads they really are superior to other gamers, but in reality they're only nice to you if you agree with them and if you have an opinion they don't share they attack you instantly lol
If there's no chance at loot why would you pug for a guild? If a member is hunting a specific I won't roll and won't complain. But if I find out you're doing this nonsense then prepare to pug another healer
@@UltimaKeyMaster not sure how you got gatekeeping lol Also as someone who just switched from wow myself, we all know it's got a damn good chance of being true. Some people choose to accept reality, others choose to be offended by it. Forget cesspool guilds, that's become a cesspool game.
@Thomas White Gatekeeping. Toxic positivity. Assumptions. Prejudice. False sense of moral superiority. Forcing a play mentality or you're not a real XIV player. Which loops back around to the gatekeeping. It's such a dumb thing players fall back on. I've never played wow and have played XIV since beta. But anytime you disagree with a "real xiv" player then you must have come from wow. It's how xiv loses content creators, players and respect. "We don't do that here XD. Don't make me uwu you and be passive aggressive while taking my arguments and personality from anime.. or south park kids."
@Stone Energy good buzzwords. You generalize your own community while simultaneously complaining about people generalizing a different community...lmao you must be a wow player
Sometimes I think I play a completely different game since 2013 when I see other people talking about XIV and situations in XIV, and I am fine with it, because jesus christ, the more I hear about, I want to stay away from whatever game these people play.
I love FFXIV but I never understood the term toxic positivity until I started playing that game
Smile or be eaten
Same, I love the game but I absolutely HATE the community.
Between the toxic positivity and the hive mind mentality (Like don't you DARE say you don't like something about the story or GOD FORBID you prefer to raid/do dungeons - you suddenly become the devil) I just stick to myself
better than WoW though all day
"You people" that's really a good one

That first ff guild sure sounded like annoying bad players though 😂
100%. I guarantee you they were the problem and are exaggerating this person's behaviour.
YOU PEOPLE?! Someone does sound guilty.
They're right, WoW players are usually toxic trash

These wow stories happened to me so many times in the end i quit wow nvr been back it is what it is
After the first story it's good to remember that not everyone in WoW plays on Kazzak.
Bro giving out dundee awards 😂

You cant stop Drama Time....I havent got around to writing a story yet
I'm with the FC quitter on that one...the writer seems insufferable.
29:55 "This one thing you're doing every day is killing your guild!"
Thanks for the content and keep up the good work.

My point was after just being nice for a few months 100s of people remembered me from helping then for a few seconds that one time.
A cult trying to not be a cult? Preach gaming team! Jkjk
The stream recording to catch loot stealing instead of just leaving the raid group is actually more cringey than ERP in FF.
ffxiv players thinking their community does not have a ton of assholes blows my mind. I love how wow players never talk about ffxiv, but when I play ffxiv I hear about wow more than when I play wow.
The evil talking keyboard is definitely a character you need to explore more LOL

Fuck! I’m old! Your son is 9! I’ve been watching since before he was born!
xcom 1 voiced by the community...oh man where do i sign up lol
I paid 1k per guild sig for a guild but gold is easy to make so i was paying for expediency
Preach preach preach preach
NO SLEEP!!!
Christ is the first story cringe on the authors side.

Well. I 'was' about to sleep, but Drama Time is quite more important.
Holler Ballers!
Beans.
FF16??? What happened to FF15, they skipped a number. I'm so confused.
FF15 is a couple years old man.
@@diddlebop7481 huh? wait what? I thought they stopped with 14??? what is 15?
Is there a preach gaming community server btw?
Like Discord? Yes
@@skylarsimes8 a public one? You got the link?
I hope the first story was partly joking. The guy sounds awful. But so does the author. They give XIV just as bad of a name.
How does the author give the game a bad name?
@@Splizacular Because they sound like they're gatekeeping FF14 from anybody who played WoW assuming everyone who does acts toxic.
@@UltimaKeyMaster not sure how you got gatekeeping lol
Also as someone who just switched from wow myself, we all know it's got a damn good chance of being true. Some people choose to accept reality, others choose to be offended by it.
Forget cesspool guilds, that's become a cesspool game.

Wow! You really did me dirty with your minor edits of the story. But since it did add to the enjoyment of the story I'll happily laugh along
Sometimes I think I play a completely different game since 2013 when I see other people talking about XIV and situations in XIV, and I am fine with it, because jesus christ, the more I hear about, I want to stay away from whatever game these people play.
Telling other ppl how they need to play a game is cringe
Thankfully the tide is finally turning, and political correctness is gasping its last breaths.. took way too long for normal people to wake up.
