Remove the knockback attacks in Rieves

Grow up.
Being reasonable and supportive against a historically hyper negative community doesn't make you a white knight. The only reason that's even a term is because FFXI players are so unreasonably negative about EVERYTHING that as soon as you try to present a logically passive or hopeful position you're suddenly trying to pretend you're SE-Man Savior of the Vanadielaverse.

Over the years I've seen him here and on KI, Alhanelem has been plenty judgmental and negative when there's justification to be -- he just also has the mental capacity to be passive and patient with the development of the game.. which you'd expect (but surprisingly don't get) of anyone who's been at it for as long as I assume he has (which is likely as long as I have.)

All of that is to say, cut the BS. It is bad enough that we have to deal with SE developing and releasing content blindly without even playing the game to understand what it needs -- we don't need everyone in the community shamelessly attacking each other like it benefits ANYONE at all. I know I'm guilty of it myself, but at least I'm willing to admit that it is stupid, adolescent behavior and aspire to get past it.

If you don't have a productive response (be it for or against what someone has to say), GTFO. We don't need more drama and BS, we've got 10 years of backlog we're trudging through already.

On Topic:

I've never really liked knockback as a mechanic at all... with FFXI's dated engine it has always felt a bit trite.

Thanks for being a voice of reason.

Sorry, but you look at the last 1000~ posts by him, every single one of them previous was blindly agreeing with and arguing against anything a player complained/posted about.

This is completely untrue. Not regularly having the popular opinion doesn't make me a white knight. I've agreed and disagreed with all kinds of different things- and not just for the sake of doing so. I really feel like you just need someone to pick on.

I do not blindly defend anyone or anything. I have reasoning behind every post I make. I'm really tired of being bashed just because I post a lot. All of the comments and opinions I post are genuine. I'm not here to troll, I'm not here to argue for the sake of it, I'm here because I care about the things that are being discussed and have a genuine interest in the game and it's future. If you can't accept that, then you should block list me now instead of continuing to attack me.

Apparently to not be a white knight I have to blindly join in agreeing with every SE bash thread and agreeing with every suggestion everyone makes. To do otherwise makes one a white knight apparently.

Knocking someone out of the assigned combat area is not a new thing, get over it.

This is not a tournament fighter arena. This is a battle to colonize the wilderness. In reality there would be no hard-line battle area boundry at all. the countdown and ban is there to punish people who bail out of a Rieve- not to allow the opponents to win a battle by a referee calling "RING OUT!"

(Now, I don't see why someone would argue against the premise of this thread personally, but you don't see me attacking them or calling them a white knight just because their opinion differs from mine- I respect the fact that different people will have different opinions on issues.)
