And if you can't even accept that a warrior may choose to use a shield and not be annoyed by it, then I maintain my original point that you are against different playstyles and need to learn to be more tolerant of other players.
I'm not against role playing in a MMORPG, but role playing is not the same as playstyle.

I agree that role playing is a legit reason to use a shield on WAR, yes.

But I don't agree that it's a "playstyle", no.

You need to see the difference between a playstyle(a way to play the job that's effective and produce a noticeable result) and role playing.

Also, I'm not against players role playing, but they shouldn't join other ppl's event if they want to role play, that's the point. The current game content in FFXI mostly don't design for role playing gameplay.

If ppl want to role play, they should ask SE to design contents/events that reward players role play, instead of complaining about the community "only want to be the best". The community just play the game as intended.
