Are We Wasting Our Time?

Dude I'm still not understanding why you made this thread.
SE has the RIGHT to be favor Japanese people. They can favor one legged prostitutes if they wanted.
Is this problem enough of a concern for you to boycott the game?
If it's not, then you should maybe just be quiet and keep playing. It's not like the Japanese pay less, have instant warps to anywhere they want, get all the drops they need, and never die.
You need to reevaluate what's important to you in the game, and what's not. And if you feel so strongly as to write for 8 pages, countering everyone's well written arguments with jack-assery, than maybe it IS time to quit, because there seems to be other issues you have with the game as well.

On a side note, if Hippo turns out to be a DD version of ladybug, its gonna be the best pet ever created

Do you even play bst? How does it "make more sense" - and which vermin jug do you usually use? Cause there are so many awesome vermin jugs amirite?

Actually no I don't. I do beleive the Scorpion model is too large for a Jug... where as the Hippoglyph is a better sized. To elaberate too big = bad for game play. I think that's what the decision boiled down too. Better game play mechanics. Not favoritism.

But the small Adamantoise model isn't too big? >.> its bigger than most scorpion models. Your logic is flawed.

I'm annoyed and irked by this (the having a vote and ignoring it) but honestly not surprised.

Have you even seen ChopsueyChucky?
I'll go with the benefit of the doubt though and assume you meant "too big = bad for NEW gameplay"

just checked german forum: the majority of german speaking players favor Hippogryph. I will count it later today, but need to go to university now.

Yeah, they have the right to do ignore, favor, and lie to whoever they want. We have the right to call them out on it too. When you exercise your rights and privileges, or do anything really, you have to accept the possible consequences of doing so.

Tanaka is back in charge, or at least no longer in the shame corner. The guy who actually wanted the English Forums listened to has been moved to FFXIV. Basically the current boss has no desire to even read what we write, much less to actually listen.

A clue for the clueless, as much as it can be simplified: this topic has nothing to do with hippo over scorp, which one is better, and whether getting hippo has made us happy in our pants or not. That debate can be found for many more pages over in the actual poll where our opinions were, you know, taken into account. This topic is about recognizing whether our opinions, in topics such as that, are really worth even being considered in a poll, since, well, the results don't really seem to show them to be. And the real shocker is that these kinds of concerns aren't just limited to this specific time and place. You don't have to be a butt-hurt BST to feel a bit concerned, or at least intrigued by how the selection of hippo came to be, since this kind of behavior has happened in the past, and without some kind of feedback could easily happen in the future.

It may be enough of a problem for me to quit, which is why I'm trying to better understand it. That's a curious use of the word boycott, you don't seem to be able to comprehend things outside of the context of the U.S. government or something. This has nothing to do with the law. Do you know that SE also has the right to ban you for no reason at all? It's in the ToS. I'm sure if they randomly banned you for absolutely no reason at all you wouldn't complain though- you can't sue them, so it's ok and shouldn't be discussed!

If it's not, then you should maybe just be quiet and keep playing.

You are good at arguing. Why should I do that?

And if you feel so strongly as to write for 8 pages, countering everyone's well written arguments with jack-assery, than maybe it IS time to quit, because there seems to be other issues you have with the game as well.

I've counted three people, including you, who have disagreed with what this thread set out to recognize. Only one of them (definitely not you) attempted to make logical arguments. I feel strongly enough about anything to call people out on bad arguments, and it's just because I appreciate honest debates and get irritated when people make bad arguments (on whatever side). This is why I hate (but closely follow) politics and am rather susceptible to trolling if it's clever enough.

I was under the impression that the whole point in offering hippo was due to there being no bird-family jugs... then they come out with Apkallu and go with the minority vote of hippo anyway...

Maybe I missed something in the reasoning though, my BST was Maat only.
