That goes both ways to be honest. I do generally blurt out curses and insult people in my day to day speech. Over a decade working as a chef has awarded me with a large multi-language vocabulary comprised mostly of food items and vulgarities. If people I knew in real life read what I wrote on this forum, they wouldn't believe it was me . Just asking how may day went might entail several F-bombs in RL, but this is the interwebz and pulling the real life card here is much like saying "My dad can beat up your dad" in a 2nd grade playground brawl. We have no idea how many of these math nerds look like Tupac in RL, and how many of the "chicks" aren't really mithras. Pulling the "your not really hard" thing is sorta lame, all things considered. No one here made any claims to be a bad ass in RL. That's a cheap argument.

I think everyone already tried to discuss it, politely, but he seems to not listen and keep arguing that mid level content should be revived and old school xp party to be resurrected so that he can experience it all by himself and force other to do it his way. Even as people try to explain that BCNMs are a good alternative to low mid level content and people still do these for ninja scroll. Over 50 pages arguing the same thing, over and over again, with him insulting others right and left who have different opinions and stating their perfectly sane arguments. His main beef is that he wants to experience it, why can't he.... And we all said, yes YOU CAN, you just have to find others like minded people. To which his response always, these people do not exist, the whole system is against me, blah blah blah.
To be honest, this whole thread is basically him seeing how long we can "be the better person". It's really remarkable how long this has gone without someone just shouting insults in multi-colored caps on one side or another. It's amusing that the OP conceded like 50 pages ago. :P
Yeah I am not really sure what he really wants.... The older veterans do not want to go through the leveling grind of yesteryears anymore where you wait for hours for things to get done. The newer players surely do not want to deal with all the hassle of "old school" and would be happily leech to 99. I remember meeting many new players who get frustrated easily around 2010 when GoV has not been introduced yet and most of the veteran enjoying the abyssea express system while they get stuck outside to level their jobs the old ways unless someone is kind enough to let them leech. There is a reason why GoV party is extremely popular and the developers did nothing about afk leechers and even made the book pages auto repeat. 99% of the population wants to do the actual game, which is end game, and have fun ASAP and not waiting for 6 months to reach 99. The game has changed since 2006 with ToAU - but abyssea made it way better as Meiyi outlined on his post. Eyeballs just need to admit defeat and either accept the fact or move on, quit, or find a few players who want to join on his sadistic adventure of old school ways.

I'm sorry Frank, but just because you find it dandy to demean/insult others in real life doesn't mean you have the right to advocate it. It only makes you look like "King Internet Badass" because not only do you do it online, but you do it IRL too. Neither of which are commendable characteristics of civilized human behavior.
Like I've said, I could sit back and say, "You bunch of lazy dumbfuck shitass casual cunts are ruining the face of competitive gaming because once upon a time you couldn't find a party and nobody would invite you and omg this takes too long and omg this is so boring why do I play it omg how does anyone like this WAAAAHHHH someone make it stoooopp!!!" ....
But I won't.![]()
