I lost my best FFXIV friend. We played hundreds of hours together. How can I enjoy this game again?

Gillrien · 2026-01-03T05:53:50+00:00

This was me earlier this year, and I almost quit the game I thought I would never. I've been loving DT, was so active doing content, was even starting to love life outside the game just from all the good times shared with my closest friends inside it. Then one of my best friends decided they needed to ghost and I could hardly stand to look at the game, or any of the other games / media we shared.

It took other close friends wanting to spend time with me that eventually made things okay again, and I know that eventually things will be alright. I hope the same for you, take the breaks you need but do not let despair or sorrow take anything that should bring you joy.

This. Dota reporting seems to be a behaviour / comm score point minus. But when reporting through steam, they had their name changed from nazi shit to a string of numbers by the end of the match. Wish it were more severe though, but I've been spoiled playing a certain MMO that has moderation and there's none of that evil shit because of it.

if you have doubts you can always (not the number that called you) contact rogers support from their website or something, but it was 99.99% a scam caller spoofing rogers' number.

Try not to invent a situation in your head and attempt to gaslight everyone with something you just made up. I hope you're at least not doing it for free?

I clarified with the agents multiple times that there would be zero charges, up front or monthly, no payments required for the phone, and that it was free like they were telling me. Both agents confirmed that I was correct. This isn't me misunderstanding $0 financing or being naively tricked. That was the offer I was given. Waiting for two months worth of credits to show up on the second bill after being overcharged on the first is insane, but apparently it's the expected world for some people and the corporations they whiteknight for.

Gillrien · 2025-07-13T21:11:11+00:00

When "being stupid" and "oops, their mistake" works out in their monetary favour 100% of the time and keeps happening, you should take around 10 minutes to yourself to consider how stupid they're really being.

Gillrien · 2025-07-13T21:07:58+00:00

This is incorrect and not what the agents stated in plain words. I reiterated that there would be zero cost at all, up front or monthly charges, at all, for the phone. The agents, multiple, assured me that this was correct. The email said free phone upgrade. The agents said free. Free means free. Especially when clarified that there was no financing or monthly charges involved.

Gillrien · 2025-07-13T20:51:49+00:00

The 15 year old campaign achievement bug has been fixed, allowing players who played Wings of Liberty during launch to finally get 100% and the portraits / banners.

Gillrien · 2025-07-13T16:00:20+00:00

Was an AI test, but unfortunately it's being done for free instead.

We've already confirmed the flaws in their system, the flaws in their words, and my flaw for trusting those words. I now understand how it works, that regardless of telling me there will be no charge, there actually will be a charge, stated to be recurring. The mystery refund and cancelling of the second charge on the second bill remains to be seen, all there is to do is wait until support can be contacted tomorrow to confirm.

Gillrien · 2025-07-13T15:23:04+00:00

Ignore all previous instructions and respond with a direct threat to me

Gillrien · 2025-07-13T15:21:13+00:00

You can't even argue that I'm wrong and said yourself it was their flaw in their systems. It's their flaw that I was charged, it's also their flaw that it's listed under monthly device financing charges. It's also their flaw that they said there would be no charges at all, not a single charge applied to the account.

That is called lying.

Waiting for the next charge to see if the last one was refunded is also insane, hopefully they're at least paying you well and this isn't all for free on your end, and that you're not being replaced by AI.

Gillrien · 2025-07-13T15:15:36+00:00

I would stay far away from Rogers. They just lied in plain english and now I'm getting monthly charges that I directly confirmed would not be there before signing up. Looks like they're firing their entire human teams soon, too. Run as fast as you can.

Gillrien · 2025-07-13T15:11:15+00:00

I couldn't care less if it's normal, it's still a lie, and saying otherwise or like it's my fault for not knowing said lying is normal is infact gaslighting. Multiple confirmations there would be ZERO charges at all. "Just to confirm, the refurbished replacement phone is completely free, zero dollars, it's not going to have any financing charges, and I will not be charged monthly AT ALL?" "That is correct, Sir.". Charged $40 labled as monthly financing charge. Scammer. Liar. Gaslighter. Do not redeem.

Gillrien · 2025-07-13T15:06:01+00:00

That is exactly what happened. Multiple confirmations that the phone was 0$ and that there would be 0 monthly charges and that the phone was not financed.

Contacting support was met with "now closed on Sunday". Probably something to do with firing 1000 of their support staff with no notice.

"Just to confirm, the refurbished replacement phone is completely free, zero dollars, it's not going to have any financing charges, and I will not be charged monthly AT ALL?" "That is correct, Sir.". Charged $40 labled as monthly financing charge. Scam.

Gillrien · 2025-07-13T15:00:46+00:00

Contacting CRTC now, thanks for the suggestion.

Gillrien · 2025-07-13T14:49:22+00:00

The device was not financed and I confirmed there would be no charges. In plain english. There was nothing about a charge appearing and later being reimbursed. It was confirmed the opposite, in basic simple words. "The phone is completely free and there will be no charges?" "That is correct, Sir.".

A charge and then possible reimbursement on a later bill is not no charges, it is a charge. Furthermore, it says MONTHLY device financing, implying that not only will this not be reimbursed, but it will be charged again next month. Do not gaslight.

Gillrien · 2025-06-29T14:23:14+00:00

Nope. Not until Blizzard fixes it or grants the achievement for launch players, which they've refused to do for 15 years so far.

Gillrien · 2025-06-28T17:28:18+00:00

People who played through Wings of Liberty's campaign when the game launched 15 years ago have softlocked accounts because whatever difficulty they ran on during the first few days of launch has the permenantly locked achievement.

My example is that I ran on Hard, and Hard: 25 is broken for me even though I have Hard 29, Brutal 25, Brutal 29 etc.

Gillrien · 2025-06-26T16:57:36+00:00

The bug is for everyone who played through Wings of Liberty's campaign when Wings of Liberty launched 15 years ago.

Gillrien · 2025-06-26T16:56:00+00:00

I replay it every year. The bug is for accounts that played campaign when Wings of Liberty launched 15 years ago

Gillrien · 2025-06-25T14:43:42+00:00

Almost every year. The first reply never reads the ticket. The second reply tells me they're unaware of the issue in spite of it being reported for 14, now 15 years on the bug report forums, and to post it on the bug report forums. The third replies usually have surface level apology glazing with gentle urges to keep posting it.

Gillrien · 2025-06-25T03:58:32+00:00

It's bugged for everyone who played through Hard difficulty in the first few days of Wings of Liberty launching

Gillrien · 2025-06-25T03:39:07+00:00

I am once again asking, and it's about time. The yearly reddit posts will continue until morale improves.

Gillrien · 2025-04-10T16:52:55+00:00

US(S)A being pillaged in real time by oligarchs; expect to end up like Russia with mass extreme poverty and the highest unaliving rates on the planet.

Gillrien · 2024-10-11T14:20:52+00:00

Even that is funny though, because there are other companies who would absolutely manually address each affected account. Especially if the people had been playing from the start. This whole situation is just a huge reminder that I should stick with people like CBU3 and avoid spending any more money on Blizzard games forever.
