You don't even have to go back to the Crusades on that one. Clergy sexual abuse, anyone?
Your reasoning is stupid. I am sure that Chris Brown is a talented musician and can sing quite well. I'm also sure that he's a terrible person because he beat his girlfriend and therefore I won't buy his music. Recognising his talent does not enable him, buying his music does.
The same thing goes for FF11 players. Recognising they are bad because of Abyssea is not the same thing as enabling them by inviting them to groups. If I think they're bad I'm not going to do things with them.
It's not simply because of Abyssea, though -- it's because some of these players have no business in FFXI in the first place.
As far as Chris Brown goes, even recognizing he has talent is more than he deserves at this point -- and that's not unlike a lot of the aforementioned people in FFXI.
You should practice what you preach and stop playing FFXI. You clearly don't deserve to, by your own standards.
I can't believe you guys argued over Chris Brown and the definition of talent for so long. Arguing over semantics? Really?
Isn't it obvious? lol
He's so outrageously anti-botting that he obviously makes them, and his attitude and self-righteousness fits with the attitude.
Excellent Point. Well spoken... I meant towards HFX7686
I would suggest an immediate demand for investigation of my account by the GM's and STF if you truly believe that.
But I've said it for over two years now: Why WOULDN'T one believe that any given player would attempt to compromise fair play?
That's why I get so pissed at the jackalopes and botters and slime: No player can state themselves legitimate and not have people such as these challenge it -- so I dare you to actually challenge it and attempt to have me removed from FFXI.
