FFXI fixed!

[Arcon]

Excuse yourself, I'm not the one banging my head on the wall making statements that I'm better or bored with the game.

No, you're the one banging your head on the wall making statements that your opinion is better than mine.

Did this somehow hurt the chances of inflating someones ego? Look at the likes on the original post and the 3rd post likes. This clearly shows that a large percentage of players reading disagree with those asking for special treatment. You can cut me down all you want but I'm seeing beyond the the delusions of grandger coming from your side of the field.

You see only what you want to see. This is not about personal opinions, nor is it about sides. I'm not on Ragmar's side, I approved of his idea. I have no idea of his reasons or motivations for them, I only have my own. You're the one who's trying to force this into a you vs. me debate.

As for disqualifying me and my arguments I can say this.

I'm just perusing an equality interest and pointing out the flaws I'm seeing here. I'm not wasting time. The solutions I gave would benefit the community, hence you're stopping humanity's progress by posting your retorts. Who's the one being a douche? The one trying to move the games progress in the right direction or the player calling for special treatment?

The one who thinks his opinion is the right one. You don't support the community, you support your own opinion. The fact that some people want this and you're against it already means you're not talking for "the community". Stop pretending you're a saint.

If you can't handle this then it's not my problem I gave solutions but you still ask for more.

You didn't give a solution, you said "you're wrong, I'm right, you're bad, I'm good, for no reason other than my own delusions". I'm not even paraphrasing (much).

Why don't you admit how shallow it is to want entitlement that does nothing more then help you mess yourself with inflated ego.

That's very shallow. That's still not what's going on. That's what you'd like it to be to validate your own opinion. If you admitted that there were real reasons for me wanting this you wouldn't be the good guy anymore but just a partypooper.

If you can't have fun with the rewards you've been given because it doesn't make you feel special that isn't an issue with the game.

I can't have fun with the rewards I've been given because I don't feel they reward me for anything. I made a Mandau the other day, the strongest weapon for THF there is. I felt nothing. It was a shallow effort. I never even did Dynamis for it other than to farm the base weapon, farm attestations and fragments.

No this wasn't totally directed at you Arcon, my apologies, clearly you should realize by defending him you've mirrored his reasoning and overall agenda.

Only I never defended him at all, ever. I don't know him, why would I care for him? I just agreed with his proposal.

I just don't understand. Why would a person who just wants more challenge and a fitting reward for besting said challenge, want the reward for said challenge to be something (Stronger gear) that makes every future event less challenging?

I specifically said that I don't care for that. I said it could as well be items of convenience like movement speed or inventory saver items. Just anything to remind me that it's actually worth trying to be good, because right now that is not in the game except for a select few events.

Why not some piece of gear that is the same stats as the one the general public can obtain, but different color / shape, to show that you are a bad ass? Why does it have to make things easier for you (have higher stats / effects)? I mean if you truly care about the challenge, then having a different model to show your accomplishment should be fine right?

See above. There's advantages that don't break the game or reduce the challenge. If there were no advantages to it at all it would just be show-off gear, and as I said, I don't particularly care for showing off, despite what people like to read into my words.

And kudos to Arcon for trying to make a counter-argument against people playing a game for fun?

No kudos to you for not recognizing that people have different ideas of fun. If I pay 13 bucks monthly for a game, I want it to offer me more than a simple card game could. Card games are fun. They support multiplayer, they're quick and easy and casual, require no lasting commitment. That's not what an RPG is to me, a MMORPG least of all. There are (literally) hundreds of better games to play if you want mere entertainment. FFXI is one of the worst games I can think of in that regard. This is a project to me. I play it to develop my character. And I play to excel at it. It has always been my main motivation. That is fun to me.
