Are you serious? People were talking crap about her left and right, flaming her threads, hijacking. Whatever her pinion may have been, right or wrong, we all have the right to have one; an opinion. Some guy posts some BETA link, and she sarcastically says "Ban the SOB!" or something close to that, and that set you off so hard, that you decided to perma ban someone?

Get off your high horse bros.Let me guess, you are a legacy member right? Figures.

In honor of Bethany1, I will pick up her legacy list and compile it. Bethany1 if you are listening please come back. Send me the names you had so far on the Legacy Ban List so I can add more to them.

Looked at some of his posts and his writing style is different. Gonna go ahead and say he's just a nutter.

Ironically (maybe), THIS is the point where I downrated you.

Like Bethany before you, it isn't necessarily your opinions that people don't like (although that's probably also a thing), it's this toxic attitude. Unlike a lot of other online communities, Zam users tend to not tolerate this. It's one of the things I really like about Zam actually.

And before you pull out the most predictable card in the entire history of pulling out cards: no, I am not a legacy player.

Curious to me how this community can go months, if not years, before ARR beta starts with a generally positive atmosphere and constructive place to talk, yet all of a sudden we're inundated with a couple of people who want to rock the boat.

No, Bethany1 broke the NDA twice and was warned twice (in spite of all of the warnings posted throughout the forum), then continued to bait the moderators on the site. The thread she commented on was borderline breaking the NDA, he didn't post links to the videos nor did he explain much of what was going on, more of his opinion of what he saw. I ended up nuking the thread anyway because it was a close call and I didn't want people to go too far in the thread discussing beta details. Get all the facts before you climb up on your high horse. If you have a problem with it take it up with Kaolian, I'm not the one who banned her, but we could have, and should have banned her the second time she broke NDA. Technically she broke NDA a third time when she posted the NDA itself, proving my point that you are not even allowed to say you're in the beta.

I'm a legacy player. And I already explained why I am.

Bethany1 got banned because she was very troublesome. Her hatred towards people based on the number of days they paid to play FFXIV past 1.19 was prejudiced beyond the realm of reason.

We have our abrasive types in these forums, and I enjoy debating with them from time to time. Outside of the debates, we know one another are decent people with just different points of view, and would likely even play together if circumstances let it happen. And we know each other.

Bethany never gave the time to get to know anyone, she was spewing NDA violations and hatred towards all legacy members as if they were grown in a vat. That kind of prejudice is not ok by me, nor should it be for anyone.

I am new to FF xiv but i seriously can not understand why people care if others are legacy or not. From what i read so far in various forums i have no problem with the legacy people. In fact they are a form of "heroes" if XIV was that bad and they kept playing. If you wanted to get the same rewards as they did then you should have spend your money and time in a game that most said is problematic as they did.

People are acting like legacy players are a threat to society and won their place by stealing, damn that's messed up.

ZAM doesn't know who is in beta, and they have no reliable way of confirming who may or may not be regardless of what the poster may claim. As such information disclosures as prohibited by the beta must be applied to all posters, not just those who proclaim to not be under it.

Otherwise you could simply say "I can post this because I'm not in beta and thus I have no NDA" and have free reign to any information you wished to post, thus circumventing the rules.

That's a great idea. I know it isn't much, but can I have your post count when you get yourself banned too?

Why do you need to compile a Legacy list when you can just ensure you roll onto a Legacy-free server and never, ever, ever encounter any of those icky Legacy people?

It's stupid attention whoring.

What gets me the most, is that EVERYONE who bought the game had EQUAL opportunity to become a legacy player. They gave EVERYONE fair notice about it. EVERYONE.
If it mattered that much, then these legacy haters should have become one when they had the chance. Now, the real unfair issue here is that we have to put up with all of this complaining.

And before you add my name to your list, i am NOT a legacy player. But, please, PLEASE add my name to your list. Thank You.

Go ahead and add me to that Legacy player list. Now you have 35,000 or however many there are left to go! Good luck.

Well, some people who were patiently waiting for the PS3 version may feel a little left out of the opportunity for a great deal like this.

But otherwise, you're absolutely right. I approve of SE's fundraising tactics and customer appreciation, even if I'm not legacy myself.

As a person waiting for PS3 I do feel a bit left out. But I don't hold it against legacy people. If I had the urge I could have upgraded and paid for 1.0 but I didn't.

A consolation prize would be nice though. Maybe a vanity pet cactuar lol

I guess I had my opportunity. Though I don't remember an email about it. Of course there was a period of time when XIV emails sent to me were ignored and deleted for the most part. Perhaps I missed it. Even if I did see it I may have thought "yeah right" at the time anyway.

Not that I've been 1 to complain about it either. That was cool of them to offer some worthwhile perks. I've seen some **** poor bonus items & perks from legacy/CE-type stuff over the years. It's like "Here's some crap nobody really wants. We appreciate your continued business!"

I'm legacy. Played the game since the first day any type of server went live. 2nd person registered in forums; perhaps 3rd. Wife's legacy as well; though she thought 1.0 should burn and die because of how bad it was at launch, when 2.0 comes out she will try it again :)

I don't think the attitude problems on any of the forums is a issue of legacy. It's a issue of near fully jacked twits who whack it to MLP and suffer from entitlement; and sadly there's lots of them on the forum. It also doesn't help that many want XI 2.0 (hard core in your face, lose weight from malnutrition; drop camping and leveling grinds)

Give them some power such as legacy and you have the holy grail of nuckfuts. Welcome to my world >.> I thought zam was bad *at times* (such as dustbin and hell myself before); but the official forums is a cesspool.
