Hello Warriors of Darkness!
As a subreddit, we have invited a few community figureheads to use our platform to answer some of your burning questions in the past, such as MrHappy, Ariyala, and Aetherflow Media. This time, we have invited a few key members of The Balance to do an AMA with us.
For those not aware, The Balance is a learning hub and repository of resources for players of all walks of life. They pride themselves in the currency of their resources and the testing rigour to which they are subject. They have role- and job-dedicated chats allowing players to socialise and ask questions of each other to seek clarity, and they actively encourage and help all of their users to be the best players they can be.
Below is a short introduction from each of the staff members that will be participating in the panel:
Feel free to ask The Balance any questions you might have. We'll leave this open for questions until the rate of submissions slows down a lot. Each of the staff members have been given a unique user flair to help more easily identify them as staff members of The Balance.

Below is a short introduction from each of the staff members that will be participating in the panel:
- u/theholl0wstar - I'm Skye, I play on Gilgamesh. My IGN is Skye Minami.
I'm one of the two founders of The Balance - Back when it was just called the 'FFXIV Job Server' (yes, that was its initial name). I don't do much of day-to-day moderation anymore- I prefer to let the mods handle most situations unless I feel the need to step in because the punishment wasn't quite what it should have been. I mostly tend to take care of the "background" things. Picking out mentors, making new tools to ease the lives of our moderators, etc.
I'm also a trash dragoon player who lives in party finder so, some of you may have seen me there. - u/flowerpetal_ - I'm Lyra Rose. I'm one of the three Head Admins of the Balance, and have previously been a Ranged as well as a Crafting/Gathering mentor. My role at the Balance is basically that of a creative director - I oversee the creation of Balance resources, check over guides and pins, and create encounter guides. In-game, I raid every tier, I have many many alts and I co-lead the Lighthouse FC on Gilgamesh.
- u/BongoCatFFXIV - I am Bongo Cat from Ultros and moderator of the Balance. I like catgirls and gacha games. I began playing FFXIV at the end of Sigma and really got into raiding shortly after I began playing. I'm mostly a PLD one-trick but have been trying to break that these past couple months. Most of my time in the server is spent shitposting, but when I do actually do mod stuff, I like to spend time in the tank channels and other general channels within the Balance. I like to talk a lot.
- u/pomegranated - i'm alice, i play on sargatanas
my ign is unpronounceable so I don't even try myself.. I am a filthy casual raidlogger and I don't really help with anything but I exist and people listen to me sometimes... most recently I have been telling people to read pins and resources over in blm channels - u/lindfeldt - i'm sierra, i currently play on tonberry.
trans uni student and journeyman raider. also a big female au ra enthusiast. ast then smn main in creator, brd main all of omega, and now gnb main. i help with the active moderation of the balance channels and assist with gnb theorycrafting whenever it is needed, and i also spend some of my free time curating gnb resources for the balance.
most recently i have contributed to bis number-crunching for gnb in particular and am currently in the process of updating the general gnb guide for patch 5.2.
