Edit 2/1/2023: A new small guideline that has been added to the rules- please include direct links to profiles, especially if the user in question is being shady, since they go 'invisible' when FR locks/bans them.

(It's not mandatory, but it helps folks get those juicy details.)

Maybe it's you

[(Anonymous)]

At some point I think people need to take personal responsibility for the way they choose to engage with FR, as opposed to demanding FR accommodate them when their objectives are excessive.

Like the bestiary thing- I personally never took it that the mission was to bond with all 1101 familiars every day. People do, and then complain about how time consuming that is, like it's a thing that needs to be fixed. Of course it takes hours, it's an impractical and over-the-top way to grind. I doubt that was the intended application of the Familiar system.

Or people who run coli 12 hrs a day for weeks, sometimes with pre-existing conditions, and then complain of hand pain. I don't know anything you can do on a computer for that many hours every day and not have trouble with your joints, especially if you already have medical issues that make you prone to repetitive injury. Humans aren't really made for doing repetitive tasks on a computer for hours, we've known this for decades, it's Bad For You. I've got carpal tunnel myself from my office job. Computers are the devil. No amount of ergonomic mousepad or keyboard tilting ever made a difference. Coli keyboard mode was definitely helpful for people with mouse problems, and I use that sometimes, but to say even that is not enough? Maybe you should accept that there's not going to be something they can do to make your excessive behavior more comfortable, because it's excessive and that's on you. Back In My Day having hand pain because you were such a hard core gamer was a known risk. It was understood that if you were choosing to do something like that for exorbitant amounts of times, there could be a physical toll.

Idk. this whole dynamic of people playing FR in excessive ways and then criticizing them for the time/physical outcomes, it just feels like eating 40 hot dogs and then blaming Oscar Meyer when you puke.

Preach. The lack of self awareness people can have is both hilarious and annoying to watch.

I have long thought this.

Yes, there are improvements that can be made to various systems, but a lot of the things people complain about are things they, themselves, have imposed on themselves.

I can understand wanting to play a game, and wanting to have fun, but ultimately there comes a point when you should realize that not all games are going to be for you, and if a game is literally affecting your health, such as through repetitive motions etc.., then that game is probably not for you.
