I was surprised to see how many complaints about how negatively their gaming experience was affected. As a fairly enfranchised player that has thousands of hours in the game doing content at various levels up to hardcore Savage raiding, the FFXIV subreddit being unavailable did not affect my experience nearly at all. In fact I only ever really go there to occasionally browse if there are interesting posts or answer questions in the Daily Questions thread.

I am wondering about the resources that people rely on the subreddit for. Island Sanctuary is posted on their Discord, which is not ideal but personally I find the Discord formatting easier to understand than the Reddit post, and Fashion Report is just an image posted all over elsewhere.
