ff14 generals are the worst but they aren't the only ones.

It's not a general you imbecile it's a new game and there's interest in it
Did you complain like this when Smash Bros or MGSV came out?
No. Stop filling the board with meta garbage.

>>381901553
It's a general that has been going on for years.

>>381901823
The game is updated constantly and there's no reason for it to be exiled from the board.
The threads aren't continuous and don't link to one another. It's only a general to you because you think you've seen it too many times.
Use a filter.

There is some reason for it, xiv seems to be the only general here that never gets deleted and I wanna know why.

>>381901229
I agree. If enough people cared we could shitpost the threads into oblivion, or report them. But /v/ is shit at all levels so...

Square is a shit company, that makes shit games, for shit gamers, and makes shit threads.

>>381901768
That's because generals are shit braindead retard.

>>381902051
By this logic about 100 games can have a general here?

There is a xiv general on /v/ 24 / 7

>>381902175
No there isn't. There are plenty of times there isn't a thread up. And even if there was it wouldn't disqualify it from belonging here.
There's at least one BotW thread up at all times. What makes the difference to you?

>>381901229
Because /vg/ is for long-term, recurring threads that maintain a chain of continuity with one another that seeks to continue indefinitely. What do you propose to happen, actually forbid threads about videogames? That will leave what, shitposting and "That kid" threads?

There's two of these threads up when the rule permits only one, one of you fuckers delete your thread.

>>381901229

I don't have a problem with the game but there should not be a general about it permanently on /v/

I notice the mods delete generals sometimes for other games but never delete them for xiv.

Reporting them does nothing either.

>>381902359
Yeah no, go check this, yes I will keep posting it.

https://boards.fireden.net/v/search/subject/fantasy%20xiv/page/5/

Check the times.

I come here a lot and I've never, not seen an xiv thread here for nearly a year.

The difference is that the quantity is on another fucking level, there is never a time when there isn't an xiv general here. It's perma, it might as well be a sticky.

>>381902463
Nope.

>>381903053
There are gaps of a day or more between several of the threads. It's not 24/7.

Rules for posting on /v/

6:
"Generals"—long-term, recurring threads about a specific game—should be posted in /vg/. This is not to say threads about specific games cannot be created on /v/, just that long-term, recurring threads belong in /vg/.

Do 275 concurrent threads classify as long-term?

>>381904983
The XIV general has a place to be, it's called on the video game general board. Just because there are 2 "groups" there that don't like it each that doesn't mean it should be here.

Pretty much every single general on /vg/ had that issue, they dealt with it themselves.

Fuck off.

>>381901229
Mods gave up on /v/ long ago, /vg/ and /vr/ were made to save the remaining good threads

>>381901229
Nothing will happen, no mod cares about your opinion, I'm quite happy you're wasting your time shouting at the walls

Mario Kart 8 has threads every weekend for people wanting to join in lobbies, and they're allowed by mods as long as they're only weekend threads

Breath of the Wild threads are cool, though.

Gotta love the faggy fucking hypocrisy.

>>381904983
>vidya culture/politics talk
I can answer that one.
The primary focus is never the goddamn vidya, but whatever perceived political meaning the OP is wanting to talk about instead. They should all be moved to /pol/ on sight. No way in hell it deserves its own board, whereas you can at least make a case for stuff like /vtv/.

And literally every single goddamn thing everyone post in this board will be classified as "reddit thing" by someone else, so trying to create a board for that is equally worthless. Reddit has long become a byword for "thing I don't like".

>>381905095
It has nothing to do with what I like, it has to do with the fact it's against the rules and is 24 fucking 7.

>>381904686

Every other general on /vg/ seems to be able to follow them, why are you special? are you the 1%?

>>381904708
I thought this guy was a fucking idiot when I first watched this but looking back he was sorta right

>>381904686
Not a single one of those rules is actually respected on /v/. Making a bitching thread about this won't do a damn thing.

XIV threads do get deleted, but only when they do some super obvious "general" cancer, like linking to the old thread, calling it a general, or doing something like "Super cute cat girls Edition!"

As long as they keep the cancer to a minimum, the mods let it slide because they know /xivg/ is a cesspool.

I'd say keep draw thread, it's mostly harmless to itself and you get nice shit from it if possible.

>A video game that lots of people play recently got a new expansion and people are talking about it
Stop the fucking presses! No really, stop them, we shouldn't be allowed to talk about it here because some other autists have a continuous circlejerk based on the same game on a different board. Dumbass.

Well no it actually makes sense, here me out. Let the people who want to talk about board politics and the community and blah blah blah whatever bullshit do it. Let them have their one thread. Hiroyuki is saying allowing one off topic or generals thread up at a time is actually improving the board over all rather then banning them all on sight and having obnoxious /v/ faggots IP cycle and repost.

>>381901229
/vg/ was suppose to be a containment board and failed to remove shitposting from /v/. They should just get rid of /vg/ and merge that shit back into /v/, because both are virtually the same now.

>being so buttblasted about people making one thread to talk about a game that you make a completely new thread to complain about it

I genuinely don't understand. Wouldn't them keeping their shit in one place just make it easier to ignore and hide them?

>>381906067
eceleb shit needs to be banned entirely, /soc/ was created to give those faggots somewhere to post, but it didn't work.

Why don't we just delete /vg/ and /vr/ and ban generals on the spot? If anything is the cancer killing this site, it's generals

So, I don't think you guys get why /vg/ was created. It wasn't for video game generals, it was to get all the fucking retards who can't stop shitting up the board with constant threads like SC2, Katawa Shoujo and Pokemon (who were such autistic faggots that they had to get their OWN board)

Making threads about a brand new expansion to a huge MMO when it's just came out is expected for the first couple of weeks. Making threads on Persona 5 for like a month after the game came out is expected because people have been waiting for P5 for like 9 years since P4 came out. Just because a game recently had a huge update with a ton of people talking about it doesn't mean that they're shitting up the board. SC2 and Pokemon were particularly bad because they were a cesspool for the biggest fucking losers on the board with shitloads of KPOP, roleplaying, fanfiction, porn, and Pokemon waifu bullshit.

>>381906710
No shit. Because it was the exact same situation as now with the exact same arguments. And the mods started just removing every thread making it impossible to discuss the game.

I'm not saying they should or shouldn't be allowed, I'm asking why how everyone forgot what happened last time.

>>381906925

>>381905959
>>381906253
By your logic, Sony falseflaggers outnumber actual Nintendo fans 10-1.

Because /vg/ is absolute cancer and has overstayed it's welcome. I'd rather be drowned in fucking vidya than off-topic garbage. It's a coin-toss whether the general will even talk about the fucking game or just continuously cannibalize itself in forum-tier drama, and if that happens where the fuck do you even discuss the fucking videogame? Fuck me all this "le shill!" screaming isn't solving anything.

The cringiest part is that the New Vegas generals were created as a butthurt reaction to Fallout 4.

/vg/ exists for a reason. It's time that the mods remind people. Make a sticky if they must, but seriously we've had enough of it.

Just because you call your general "thread" instead of "general" doesn't change what it is.

The problem with this place is not that it doesn't talk about video games. If that's the natural direction it wants to go, that's fine. You may not agree with it, but you'll understand that's not a problem technically.

What the problem is, is outside influence by corporations. Trained marketers hiding behind anonymity and spambots at all times, curating the this place. And suckering all the dumbass fucking kids into buying their shitty games.

That's what you're defending you brainless nincompoop.

>>381907186
They certainly make more threads, since a falseflagger has absolutely no shame when it comes to creating thread after thread not to talk about a video game but to shit on everyone that likes another one. It's not difficult to post 10 times as much shit if you're not actually playing video games.

Admins are making more work for themselves long-term, once people see they can get away with it you'll have more than just final fantasy 14 players doing it. We already have the companies encouraging their players to do it.

Wait what's stopping people from making sub generals on /vg/? Something like /fnvg/ for New Vegas threads or /ffxivg/ for Stormblood ones? I doubt mods will get pissy for this.

Despite what you may think this place isn't your dumping ground reddit, this isn't a place for you to come to shitpost. Ironic shitposting is still shitposting and you kind of faggots ruined this place.
>muh /v/ is for shitposting about video games
/vg/ is fucking horrendous, but don't think for a minute that it's any better here as we have just as many tripfags running around treating this fucking place like reddit and pretending edgy 4chan meme ironic shitposting as actual board culture.

>>381908216
They make the generals here purely to shill the game.

>>381908216
the problem is no reasonable person goes there because /vg/ is an unmoderated cesspool of attention seeking children

autists get long-running threads on /v/ deleted all the time, samething that happened to the FO4 threads happened when BG2EE came out, and there was a long-running series of BG threads that lasted for a few months, which eventually got deleted as if they were smut threads on /tg/

>>381907359

>>381908396

You are the reason /cofg/ died and you should feel bad.

>>381908079
No, fuck you. He shouldn't, and in fact doesn't, have to hide them. Because they are against the rules. They shouldn't be allowed to exist in the first place. Period.

What kind of asshole, who when he sees one person, out of many, trying to make a difference about something that's been happening that is objectively wrong, that effects others, and has been ongoing for some time tells that person to be quiet, get back in line, and bury his head in the sand?

Good luck changing anything that way. Mother fuck.

All you have to do is check if there is a general on /vg/ about the game in question and if there is a long history of the same thread.

If so, you delete it. It's not hard, we all know which are blatant generals and which are not.

>>381909379
>Also, wasn't every New Vegas thread on /v/ about that one party member for at least a month?
You mean Cass? Yeah there were some people who complained that she gets you cucked in one of the endings but it's mentioned once or twice instead of the thread being flooded with I LOVE CASS POST CASS PICS or something like that

/vg/ is basically fandom and autism, for people who cant let go the game even if its dead so they keep spaming fanart and discussing AU of the AU fanfiction.

the problem is that /v/ has a much higher view count and userbase than /vg/, even if you banned the most prolific thread creators people are still going to make new threads for those games here
this entire thread seems to me like one or two people are really booty blasted that ff14 gets frequent /v/ threads (which should be a surprise to nobody because this is a weeaboo forum and ff14 is a game weeaboos love), likely because they like a different mmo and dislike that a "competitor" gets round the clock threads

forcing a game that is incredibly popular to be exiled to /vg/ because a couple people don't like it won't work unless you have a sticky or something telling people that they have to go there
which just makes the problem bigger
would you really rather those spaces being taken up by "generals" be filled with console war threads, e celeb threads, filename threads and other banal garbage?

>>381910084
that's literally how it is you mong, what's the fucking point of making threads about video games when there's already generals that cover them on /vg/? Want to talk about Bloodborne?

i think the site needs a redesign to be honest.
/vg/ doesn't work unless you circle jerk in a thread to keep it active. slower generals die in a day and majority of replies in generals are shitposts because of it.

because /vg/ seems required now for games that can sustain several threads, i think image boards just might not work for videogames anymore.

>>381909172

Yes, I'm sure your bosses are very afraid that flavor-of-the-month gamers will wake up to their bullshit and just stop buying it, like real respectable gamers.

Gotta be sure to make it seem like on /v/, only cool gamers are allowed; only the latest, most popular games are cool.

>stop talking about video games on video games
i'll never understand what drives someone to visit or care about a thread they dislike just to show their disdain

You know what would solve everyones problems? Actually moderating /vg/. People would be happy to post on /vg/ if all the cancer would actually be moderated and not just be left to fester unattended, then be told to go jump right in because there is no choice.

Everything you say is true but it doesn't matter since those few people always get their wish. Even now the FFXIV thread was moved to /vg/ when the thread was about to die.

I'd use the generals in /vg/ if they were moderating as they should be, every mmo just devolved into Avatar spamming and some gay rp.

I've been in /vg/ for several games and every single general has been pure shit.

>>381907603

There is a difference between talking about game itself, like balance changes, content and design of the game or looking for people to play with. And just spaming fanart and fanfiction so detached from the source that may as well be a different game altogether.

Mobile IPs shouldn't even be on 4chan to begin with.

>>381911637
Literally the only problem before /vg/ was made is that there was too many League of Legends threads, that was literally it.

This is how you spot a brainlet. The New Vegas threads may seem the same to you at first because of the similar OP but the different chracters and quotes that are posted each time in the OP are enough to cause a discussion about the things related to the OP's character like the quests, the locations, the chracters and how they contribute to the story of the game. You're too stupid to see the clever way of having people talk about the game in a civil manner.

That would defeat the purpose. /vg/ was created so that the cancer would move there and be left to fester, unchecked. It's a containment board, and the lazy solution because mods don't want to have to actually moderate every thread.

>>381911815
To add further, if the NV threads were just let's talk about New Vegas with the same picture posted over and over again like the Gothic ones then I'd agree that they should be removed.

>>381911153
It depends what generals you go to. The Grand Strategy and STALKER generals are pretty chill and full of cool people. On the other hand you have horrendous cesspools like /feg, /d2g/, and /ffxiv/, which is even worse than the threads here.

Reminder that /vg/ was a fucking mistake.
If moot hadn't given Katawa Shoujo its own breeding ground that general would be long dead.

Things get popular and are talked about a lot, even if its for a whole month or even 2, things will eventually die down and people will move on and start making threads on the next popular thing. All /vg/ does is let those things have a permanent place on the website instead of eventually being phased out.

Do you think the mods even play video games?

>>381911853
what you mean to say is that a janny went to the irc and asked to move the thread, if only out of the goodness of his heart, and now the thread will 404 because no one will be satisfied

shitposting is almost synonymous to 4chan. Back then people just knew how to spot a troll or bait. Now everyone is a underage newfaggot, doesn't know how to lurk moar and replies to obvious bait = everything gets shit up.

How old is this information?

>>381913570
That's the saddest part. You can either continue "enjoying" /v/, or find friends that share your game taste and talk with them.

>>381913646
Glad we agree they are fine.

Fuck you, if a game is less than a year old it shouldnt be classified as a general

>Alright time to go back to spamming pictures of my waifu and complaining about niggers or complaining about people complaining about niggers. Also need to post a thread about my favorite e-celeb and why Nintendo sucks donkey dick

>>381913645
This is unironically the rules of /v/. Everyone likes Souls games, so they are allowed to have constant threads for years but people on /v/ don't like MMOs or anime games, so we need to delete those.

>>381913646
Don't forget console-tan tuesday, miku monday and vidya drawfag general which are all consistent threads that loosely pertain to video games but also are fine!

How would you describe Lyse?

you should start your own discussion threads instead of relying of whats already in the catalog

like many others have said a huge chunk of people flock to low hanging fruit meme bait threads who dont have any intention of seriously discussing vidya while you are over here complaining instead

>>381913742
Yeah fuck video games bro LOL

>>381913731
/v/ is good for finding games you might not know about that other sites would completely overlook.

>>381913858
If you make a new general when there's already a general up they just prune it. This is literally a thread about "why is X video game allowed on /v/"

Just let people discuss their game holy shit, these threads don't even last a month once everyone's sub runs out. Shift-leftclick the threads and hide them if you're so assblasted about it.

>>381913751
There is literally only 1 FFXIV thread up at a time, the other reason there are more than 1 up right now as far as I know is that people are mad at the mod for moving a dying thread instead of letting it die.

what exactly is allowed to be discussed here then in order to not be a general? if I want to talk about a game do I have to space threads out by a week in order to not be too frequent by your retarded standards?

oh wait that doesn't work either because there are constantly people in the weekly miku Monday threads and the occasional 100% oj threads whining that they belong on /vg/ even though they're both infrequent and not sequential

/v/ has arrived at /tv/ levels of population size, board speed, and subject "mainstreamness" — it is dead and there is no saving it.

I'm okay with having some generals here even if it breaks rules. Much better than /vg/, that place is a dump

Rename vg to vidya waifus and tripfag drama

>>381914058
This is an actual post, someone actually thinks this way. We have arrived at post-post-post irony levels only thought achievable in a controlled lab environment.

/bv/ is for /pol/ threads and eceleb, not video games

>>thread gets moved for being on the wrong video game board and cancer responds by rage spamming the same thread because they want to DISCUSS VIDEOGAMES ON THE WRONG VIDEOGAME BOARD.

Also, who are you even arguing against? No one here's professing to not talk about video games, they just want the rules enforced equally and properly. So that rule-abiding posters will be better able to talk about video games.

Also, you must be either willfully blind or plain disingenuous if you're totally oblivious to the reality that some of the types of threads in question are advertisements. Also against the rules, by the way.

When you have multiple 24/7/4/52 threads about the same damn game at the same damn time, at all times, all the time, and all of them fucking suck, and it's obvious that there isn't enough genuine interest in them by other people who go here to support their eternal presence in the catalog, and they're all made by a garbage company known and shown, in this very thread, to work with online "reputation management" agencies... well...

Everytime a thread like this is made, most people complain about eceleb.
How would we actually bring this to mods and Hiro's attention?
im pretty sure most people dislike eceleb shit.

>>381914307
>send current thread to /vg/
Oh no how could this happen.

So are the mods just allowing these threads because they bully them if they don't?

The thread was moved and now they made 5 more, is that ok?

Games I like are allowed. Games I hate can fuck off.
See? It's quite simple.

>>381914519
It already is.

>>381914539
jannies like eceleb bait and use it to ban people in their false flag threads

>>381914539
It doesn't matter because people would rather attack games they don't like then actual shit threads, because remember, /v/ hates video games.

>>381901229
/vg/ - the same few people discuss the same game every week and it gets boring as fuck fast.

/v/ - new people good and bad post in threads about games.

we don't need 4 fucking boards for video games

>>381910657
New expansion. NV is dead, get over it.

>>381914291
That what /vr/ is. Have you ever been? It's like /v/ but not shit.

>>381914695
That was my joke that literally any board other than /v/ is better for discussing video games.

>>381914539
It confuses me so much when I see a literal who being posted and suddenly multiple IPs engage in a literal what discussion that's not even video games. Are these kids making these threads?

>>381914639
you'll see how much worse it could be

>>381913970
Where are all you MUH JUST HIDE THE THREAD faggots hiding whenever the hell /pol/ comes by to say hi?

You all need to try following your own advice. Instead of coming in here whining about this thread, then telling people to stop whining about other threads and just ignore them, why don't you just ignore this one?

Every single person in this thread who did this is a literal hypocritical SJW.

2-3 threads about it a day isnt that bad and most of them are questions.
sure you could argue they could all go to vg and ask them but then why does that not apply to pretty much every video game related thread
Im more annoyed by the 8 threads up about the snes classic all at the same time

>>381905619
This one is probably the worse, since they have been doing it everyday and sometimes 2 threads at once.

O-oh, sorry anon.

>>381914745
Then make a thread about the mod, not a new vegas general you shit skin.

because they whine about "/vg/ never discusses games" while forcefully ignoring the fact that if they just went there and discussed the games, the problem wouldn't exist.

>Why are generals being allowed on /v/ when /vg/ exists for that purpose?
They aren't, or maybe they are. Who knows, because the mods are very inconsistent about deleting them.

If you want to know why threads to discuss games with a general in /vg/ are being posted on /v/, it's because /vg/ is an incestuous cesspit. When I go to a general it's with the desire to discuss the game and matters surrounding the game, and what I get instead is discussion that has at least 4 degrees of seperation.

Look at /xivg/, it's not even about the game half the time, but discord circlejerks, gossip about literally-who's, and tranny drama. If you want these recurring threads off of /v/, then mods should do their fucking job and fix /vg/.

>>381914926
>moving goalpost

>>381914978
You try going into /ffxivg/ or /tesg/ and actually discussing those games, hell hit up Katawa Shoujo general and ask them how their routes are going. They are the definition of containment threads.

>>381914530
You're mischaracterizing my argument. I never said all discussion of the games is illegitimate. I said a portion of it is. A portion.

Stop playing video games and work on that reading comprehension.
