Test Server Check: Seeing if higher attributes directly affect Burden gain.

[Theytak]

I can somewhat see where you're coming from now if you don't grasp what he's trying to say. In my interpretation, this testing is saying, in laymen's terms, that no matter if you have Int+ 1 or Int +50 over your pet's current int when using maneuvers, you will recieve the same amount of burden gain incomparison to having a lower amount of int or any attribute, when using a manuever, than your pet. This actually is vital information if you "read" it correctly because for people who mainly create huge Int sets to accomadate for the high overload you receive when using Stormwaker to nuke, they no longer need to do that. As long as your Int exceeds your pet's int after a manuever, no matter by how much, you will recieve the same overload burden down. He's not attempting to prove, in no manner, whether or not burden down is recieved when having a higher attribute than your pet with the same manuever.

Alrighty, that makes sense now that I'm actually awake (as opposed to reading the thread at 5am... lol... I didn't even realize I was talking to two different people)

Now on the case of your sarcasm, I'm not saying that you should stop doing it or even sugar coat your words, but the fact that you shoot a "Thread" down before you completely understand where a person is coming from is rude. When you take the time to create a thread for public view after hours of testing, the least a reader can do is respect the person for actually taking the time to "Brighten" their knowledge over the topic. There has been no threads even covering this topic on this specific forum, and although something similar may have been on alkazham, people who turn to this forum for information will at least be able to find things regarding burden rates. Even in the case of if someone is wrong, having a debate over a topic will only help to understand the topic at hand and not necessarily have any negative affects.

Well, I'm from alla, and this forum is fairly new. About 70% of the threads created, intending to "brighten" the knowledge of the player base on alla (and about 95% of the ones on ffxiah and ffxiclopedia's forums) are only serving to spew utter nonsense without any actual useful information besides the thread's particular poster's opinions/guesses being presented as scientific fact. I've developed my tone for these kinds of threads for two reasons.

1) if the OP can't accept that their idea/testing methods could be questioned, they're better off not continuing with the thread because they'll hinder the proper flow of logical discourse that normally comes from these threads when they're done correctly

and 2) In a thread meant to discuss and refine knowledge of the inner workings of the game, there's nothing rude about questioning or poking holes in a theory or idea if said holes exist, so long as it's done with some modicum of tact and not just blatant "YER STOOPID BECUZ I DISAGREE!" posting. The thread can't go anywhere if the only replies are "oh, cool, good job and keep up the good work!" in spite of glaring flaws in logic or lack of research/information.

Note: I'm not accusing the OP of being inept or lacking the testing/proof to back up their claims, I'm merely explaining the reasoning behind my posting style and why it works.
