FFXI fixed!

I didn't offer a compromise because you've done nothing to convince me that this idea isn't perfectly valid. And the masses aren't arguing against me, you are. The masses are silently ignoring us both.

The only thing you done is put nothing on the table but another easy button alternative. Everything you've been saying up to this point just leads me deeper into the belief that you don't want to compromise anything. It's the simplest solution to the evidence at hand. As for the masses they don't need to argue with you. The masses speak when they don't use the content to it's full potential.

You're completely out of your mind. The lower tier Nyzul gear is still good. Great even. So what if it doesn't compare to the full reward? If it did, why would anyone try to do it? Shoot for the top, but be awarded for what you achieve.

There is better stuff players can use. Frank supports my stance on this and posed a unique argument. Your denial only exist because you have no other defense. It's the community who ultimately decides if they think it's good or not not you or me. I think it's total junk and I have every right to say this.

On a further note I didn't see any of the lower tier equipment in your equip history. I wonder why...

Your "revised suggestion" is the same crap that you've been trying to force-feed down my throat for the better part of a week. And I already said on the first few pages why it didn't compare. And several more times after that. It's the same "patience should substitute skill" philosophy you've been preaching all along in this thread, which is precisely what I took an issue with. It's nothing new. Zero compromise, the one thing you've been accusing me of for about twenty pages now.

What's the same?, whats different?, Whats your solution? why is it your solution? why? why? why? You still haven't given anything other then obscure personal bias. The masses can't work with that, and the developers can't work with it either.

Again, you're wrong. It's not the same thing. The first was totally depended on the luck of higher drop rates at higher tiers. The revision is based around performance assessment points. Totally different in that respect. The only part that wasn't modified is the fact that all players could eventually get it through effort. The burden of proof shifts in my favor if you can't prove otherwise.

The fact remains you want it one way and one way only, "It's my way or the highway." You can't even create a plausible alternative yet, you argue about it like their are better methods. If everyone lived by that logic we'd still be living in the stone ages. People would complain or argue about things and never attempt to find solutions for them. It's very destructive path. It fails in so many ways.

Come up with a compromise that puts the items in all tiers without "force feeding" your personal bias. You know the 'If you can't beat it you don't deserve it, GTFO" mentality.' I urge you to at least try to show a little bit of ingenuity and creativeness. I really doubt you have the skills or patience to do this. If you can't come up with an alternative compromise then you should just try harder. Are you up to the challenge or do you not have the skill set to be creative?

If you say no, then you're hypocrite. Why, I offered you a challenge. If we base this around your methodology people who can't conform don't deserve reward. The reward is recognition that you're capable of doing more then just disagreeing. In this case if you can't put solutions on the table you should follow your on beliefs and consider more training. Shoot for the top, but be awarded for what you achieve.

Why are you so sure? And even if you were, why shouldn't we still suggest it? If they don't listen, whatever, it'll be the same as it is now. On the off chance they do, it could possibly be something great.

I'll bring up a famous quote of relevance by George Santayana. He said "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." I think the games hardcore history speaks for itself.
