I have taken a notice that people on the English community of World of warcraft has a lot of negative attitude lately as I have been playing on the French servers a lot people there keep a good positive vibe attitude towards the game.
I question myself why is it we have established a good positive optimistic vibe on the other non speaking English community while the English one keeps raging on the game so much.
its because all the worst people are speaking in english so their poison is heard by substantially more than would in their native tongue
its also people not leaving when they ought to,
i recently joined FFXIV because the toxic rage-filled vitriol of the growing nay-saying community, there isn’t this kind of thing there as far as i have been made aware
but in WoW its obvious from the start
I guess their voices has become more heard due to the wide community WoW has become.
that or the angry streamer’s sheep bleating their words and sentiments ad nauseum
people thinking they straight up own the game above everyone else
They live on an island where the weather is always bad. They have every right to be mad. They’re not mad at you, so don’t take it personal. They’re really mad at their ancestors for moving to that island instead of a tropical one.
Haha I didn’t mean the people who lives in UK but thanks for the heads up :)))
It’s because english became more common in the eastern block, and, as we all know, they even add salt to their sugar.
Maybe it’s just my own perception, but I personally have found that English-speaking gaming communities have been a lot more salty ever since 2014 and not really any change in communities in other languages.
I’ve wondered for some time if this could have actually been a result of Gamergate. It did a lot to solidify gamers as an identity, but the identity was hardened somewhat, as it’s an identity solidified through months of social-media warfare, that still somewhat occurs in pockets of the internet today.
I don’t think anything similar had happened in other languages, has it?
that, and it’ll always happen in english now as its the universal bridge language
If only that was still true; English may still be a required language for pilots, but I don’t know there are other professions that work like this.
More schools are offering a wider range of European languages as business tools; it used to just be French & German, but Spanish has gained ground more - certainly since I left school.
english will always be used to bridge languages, its the only technical language with a greater range of words to suit points
My ancestors are native Britons so… jk I’m a mix of Dutch, French (Norman) Roman and celtic lol most British people are just angry about brexit not the weather, we love the weather because it gives us something to complain about it’s too cold, it’s too hot, it’s always raining, it hasn’t rained enough and now we have a hosepipe ban. You get the idea 
no complaining about the sun here!
its like frikkin crack for me
FFXIV definitely doesn’t have that but what they do have is one nice little MS dungeon where you get to smoke a cigarette, make coffee, go to the toilet, bake some cookies and the ocassional button pressing thanks to unskippable cutscenes. Gotta love The Praetorium 
Calling ourselves, in the UK, Britons is something we ‘pinched’ from France… as the true Britons - Bretons, to be precise - hailed from Brittany and most likely came to England with the Norman invasion, in the 11th Century.
oh god almighty, i just played through praetorium the other day - 99% cutscenes,
there was a moment i got 3 cutscenes while trying to take 4 steps forward xD
Honestly I think it’s the YouTube and stream culture. It makes place for players to gang around and lets more charismatic youtubers give words to the diffused disappointment and anger that some feel about the games. The sense of community makes it easier to go out and voice the complaints they would never summarize quite like that if they had to on their own.
Other fandoms don’t have internet personalities speaking for them in such an accessible way.
… sounds like early Questing in… what IS the name of the central zone of Kul Tiras…? Every other Quest seems to end in a cut scene…
as much as i love both games, the Praetorium in FFXIV was overkill on the cutscenes - there’s one every few seconds and every few steps, AND they’re unskippable xD
i exclaimed to my FC(guild) at the time 'omg wtf is wrong with this dungeon? i can’t take a step without a cutscene"
“Praetorium?”
“Praetorium.”
Were we not Britons or Bretons to the Romans too? I meant pre Roman invasion celtic ancestry for clarification though.
