.....super obvious? Yeah, you got me. I don't actually miss the way things used to be. When people would band together and accomplish things in teams and become friends.
Nope, I seriously enjoy being in an end game party of dickheads that get pissed and act like you just murdered their dog in front of them over a piece of digital clothing or if you don't refresh them fast enough. That's fun. I totally wouldn't ram my fist through that persons head IRL. I would, however, point and laugh at the poor sap stuck in Valkurm for ten straight days being ignored by everyone walking by him or her slowly get eaten by Clippers trying to desperately solo farm their support job items because it's just too much to stop for a minute and help the poor bastard. What, you need an airship pass and are stuck on 2-3 but your LS won't even acknowledge you exist because they are too busy mainlining red bull to do Abyssea runs? Oh well... start selling rabbit hides and maybe you'll be able to just buy one after a month.
That was using obvious sarcasm directed at a specific player type to create an emotional response and initiate an argument. THAT is trolling. Asking for the game to take it back to the good old days is not.
