  1. You know an FC/guild is prone to tons of drama when they have huge, sprawling rules that sound like they have dealt with incredibly specific scenarios in the past. An incredibly controlling leader is also a huge red flag, and very likely the source of drama as well.

  2. Been on a break from XIV for maybe 6 months now, and I've been confronted with so much weird shit from the community since then, that I didn't really pay attention to while playing. But it's come to my attention how many fucked up things take place. Every MMO seems to draw a particular type of crazy, and I have to say I prefer WoW's weirdness to XIV's.. While WoW mainly has assholes with anger and patience issues, XIV has some deranged individuals that like anime in particular waaay too much, deal in underhanded passive-aggressive insults instead of being overt with their aggression, and overall think that CBU3 can do no wrong and that Yoshi-P is a God. I've seen the most cult-like behaviour within FXIV for sure; you cannot talk negatively about it and/or critizise anything because it's supposedly a flawless game 🙄

  3. I'm a new player and I'm in an fc my friend who got me into the game invited me to, we're like 10. Everyone knows who the people in it are, most of them I've known them since I started playing and guided me through the game. There's no list of rules, no controlling leaders, just people enjoying the game

  4. Jfc Midgardsormr? That's my server! I want to say I may have seen people in that FC, but I can't remember. The only FC I see often that isn't the one I'm in is D3SU.

  5. Oh boy, this happened in my home server and well… I would have not known what was going on until the next part, where the current drama happened. Hearing this fella is a doxxer is even scarier than I realize…

  6. Oh man so I was right all those years ago. I knew people who were in it and any time they would tell me their rules and whatnot I'd go this is a cult. I would occasionally warn others about them. One time someone said that doesn't sound like a cult. I'm all yeah ok. I even ran content with them due to wanting to help a friend who was part of this FC only to get gaslighted by them and those from this FC.

  7. Every fc should just have one rule.

    If we dont like you and find you annoying for any reason youll be removed.

    Thats it. These arent companies. They dont need policies – theyre friend groups. If no one likes someone that joins your friend group, you stop hanging out with them. Fcs should be the same way.

    There is no anti discrimination laws governing fcs. If they kick you for a bad reason you should just be happy finding a new fc. It's not like your livelihood depends on staying in your fc.

  8. I was in a two year relationship with him from 2020 to 2022, and was in the FC from 2020 to just a month ago mostly as leadership. I am a little sad at how everything turned out, but a fault of mine is being too kind and forgiving sometimes. I was in frequent stress over things like being in statics, raiding, upsetting him not knowing what I did, and my real life decisions. Usually, it wasn't an issue, but it would at some point come up during arguments. Arguments happened frequently, and I was always made to feel like I was in the wrong, even for things I shouldn't need to apologize over. I don't do well in conflict, and he's a master of words, so I laid down and accepted it was always me at fault. There was always paranoia, whether regarding the FC or regarding our relationship. Where I had no idea what I was doing wrong at times. I admit nearing the end I was becoming exhausted over the stress, while dealing with finishing school (so lovingly dubbed as "coveted cheap paper"), and trying to find work just to survive, while being expected to move down there ASAP like we had talked about in the very beginning. It was a lot on my plate at once. I'm not saying it was all bad, either. We had a lot of great times. I know this is going to just further me as the conspiring evil ex I'm sure he always knew I was, but I did truly have care and love for this person.

    I feel like a portion of the energy put into Azure could be well spent in other more beneficial avenues. It shouldn't have to be a full time job for anyone, not even the leader.

  9. So apparently they made a “play” of my FC Crimson Blades. We were all taking a break back in the day and let Reika run it while we were breaking and he stole everything from our FC then created Azure. This was a really fun and chill group of people I played with. A fair amount of us are IRL friends now.

    I was blown away how reika created this crazy FC after destroying a once very proud fun FC. I still have our photo of when housing was released at our lavender beds medium house we all pitched in for.

  10. Sometimes the best part of the game is being a people watcher…. you see these cults and personalities and the sweet sweet black mail. Don't participate, just sit back and judge, the "pick me!" girls and the direct message boys. Love it. Cover more!
