    Male Au Ra here, I'll never forget my sprout days when my new FC mates would wince upon hearing I was a male Au Ra. Like *HOW* was I supposed to know that the randomly decided cupcake race was the dope ass dragons with better posture than any elezen?!? HOW DO WE GET A WORSE REP THAN THE MIQOTE AND THE VIERRA??? HOW SWAY T^T??? *Respectfully*

      This is honestly the first time me hearing about such a thing as I rarely look at community related stuff these days, so it's a bit surprising (and a bit annoying) there is quite a bit negative stereotyping/negative labeling if a player picks a certain race in this game (I've seen this happen in another MMO I played many years ago, but wasn't expecting to see that here).

It's also people like that have more or less kept me as the silent protag most of the time doing content. At least people get a bow after final boss and I disappear
    All the doomscrolling about the game being dead is mostly from players who came into ff14 off of the Asmon/late Shadwobringers boom, along with Shadowlands having totally shit the bed at that point that people decided to try other mmos out. Us old timers know how .5 to next expo goes.

    As for the dead game posts, it seems like a lot of folks who came over during the streamer boom are on the new NA data center that they added and that's also the largest population that has quit playing. If you are having really long queue times, switch over to Crystal or Aether. I'm on Aether and have been since I started the game 8 years ago and since we're all largely vets, I have barely noticed a dip. The player numbers are pretty much back where they were before the game exploded. Yeah, there were more during the boom, but queue times are still largely normal AKA 15 -20 min max if you're playing super early in the morning. If you don't want to pay for data center transfer, then just data center travel here or to Crystal. Most of the vets are still here. I recommend Aether bc our RP scene is fairly self-contained and you won't get creepy DMs unless you are specifically at an RP event. Or at least I never have in 8 years of playing and cycling through every race in that time.

      re: "dead game posts" - You do have a valid point there, in my opinion. The population tripled during the Asmongold wave in Shadowbringers. What this means is the "old" FFXIV community is a minority and much of the "newer" community are used to blasting through numerous expansions (ARR, HW, SB, ShB, EW) non-stop. The actual fact is, for most of these newer players (within the last 2-3 years), Endwalker is their very FIRST "current" expansion and first experience of FFXIV's patch to next-expansion cycles. For us old veterans, it's old hat routine and we know to pause subscription and go play our other games until next patch or expansion. Meanwhile, all the newer players are like, "omg there's no content! I will (publicly) announce I am quitting FFXIV" because they are still only accustomed to "rush-to-endgame" mono-gaming type playstyle and endless grinds and all they know is if a game doesn't make you log in every day, it's declared "dead" and they have to "quit". smh Still brainwashed, apparently, and clueless that this is how it is between EVERY FFXIV expansion for years and they don't know what to do with themselves unless a game tells them what to do with their time. 🤣 Go play other games, y'all! Currently trying out GW2, LoTRO and Dungeons & Dragons Online (DDO) until next patch/MSQ update.

    Sometimes we straight up parody posts from the main sub, thats why there's so many text posts. Cuz mainsub gets a lot of text posts.
    Ooooo boy, um, the male Au Ra meme is based on stuff that really did happen. There were groomers who played as male Au Ra and would sit at the Limsa aetheryte and try to groom catgirl players. It was weird.
    Also I suppose I should explain GCBTW cuz you will encounter that term getting tossed around. It means Great Community By The Way. Its shorthand for making fun of all the toxic weirdos who are the exception to an otherwise nice community.

    and the dudes being like "I like that emote cause very few people have it" is jst stupid, like something you truly do, not based on rarity.. of course one day knowing SE they'd put it in the mogstation lol

      Coil is not part of roulettes is why. I have unsynced people through coils many times though. Randos asking if anyone is willing to do it? Sure no problem, it doesn't take long and lets people see a PIVITOL bit of story. The story of coils is pretty big for the twins and explains a lot of their actions after that point, including why Alisaie is so enamored of the WoL. Canonically she has a crush on the WoL regardless of your gender, both Y'shtola and Krile poke at her for it. Alisaie had no real power at that time period, seeing the WoL in action is what pushed her to get stronger in the first place.
