    There’s a chance you just sound extremely generic. If you say a flat compliment about something, you might sound like a bot or people just won’t like you for it.

    Unless you are on any popular 'meme' or 'irl' sub, they love the generic comments and reused jokes.

    I use r/bindingofisaac, and there are a ton of really annoying karma-farming bots for some reason, and they always get downvoted, so I partially get why the OP also got downvoted. These bots, however, don’t type like that, so OP isn’t really a bot (well, duh). Well, guess you just shouldn’t use punctuation lol

    I do definitely get that part why people would believe op is a stupid karma farming bot so that makes sense lol

    OP also has a bot-like 2 word name. No numbers at the end like bots normally have though.

    I know nothing about the mobile game but my first thought was - is this something that's only available in the mobile version and thus people are mad because you seem happy with it when they themselves are unhappy? Or something along those lines?

    parent

    This is the reason. The mobile version is getting features that the original version wants so it's a little controversial.

    Actually, maybe that's the reason. The hair, as well as the faces, aren't present in the PC version. Maybe people are salty because of that.

    ffxiv mobile is also heavily looked down upon because it's such a cashgrab

    It'd be nice if you linked us to it so we can get a feel for the other comments instead of just guessing

    i mean, you can see the sub and the poster.

    The poster is OP and their profile is hidden. They didn't provide any subtext and barely any context, a link would be nice.

    parent root
    3 points senpaistealerx

    yeah, you can see the sub and the poster. doesn’t matter if their history is private. if you wanted to see the post, you’d simply go to the sub and search. op isn’t the oop anyway lol

    Punctuation makes people think you're a bot for some reason

    parent
    8 points niztaoH

    It is not so much the punctuation as it is the generic vibe of the comment.

    Generic positivity is often seen on release posts by people who otherwise rarely comment on content, e.g. paid/shill/bot comments.

    That comment reads identical to some of the dozens of karma farm bot comments. There is like a 50/50 chance if these are up or downvoted depending on the first few people who seem them.

    Also, reddit generally prefers conversation - and your comment doesn't really invite conversation.

    Instead describe what you like, so engage with the post on more than a surface level.

    As a ffxiv fan I can see why, people is tired of the ffxiv mobile exclusives, and not having it in the retail, there are a lot of hate against ffxiv mobile on ffxiv community. And you said you wanted to play it. People got upset about that statement, no mystery there.

    People think if you don’t type in a specific way you’ve gotta be a bot.

    Some people think that whoever has perfect grammar or punctuation in there comments (because you don't really need to use it anymore) they assume its a bot but I don't see anything wrong with it.
