This is more like a joking/not serious way to counter someone's argument that's based on subjective POV but not proper logic nor reasoning.
This is more of an issue that Mrkillface continue to construct his argument out of HIS logic, by applying his subjective POV on everyone, and not respecting other's opinion. Every point I made, he just dismissed it with "I think you're just X" "Nahhhh, I think you're X! You're just X!" or "I think fun is Y"....basically everything is HIS opinion, and not supported with a reason.
Since there's no way I can counter anyone's subjective argument with reasoning, besides a not so serious attitude "he did it first!"
FYI, he did counter my opinion with a solid reason once, which is the definition of skill= practice and experience, and I DID accept his opinion that playing FFXI is a skill, just doesn't affect the performance nearly as much as gears. I don't think clicking macros very fast is a skill(thus you think it's "poorly constructed because it was indeed based on my subjective POV"), but it could fit the definition if you look into it. If someone express his POV out of a fact, but not opinion, then I will accept it.
Everything else is basically based on "No you just wanna be a cool kid in town because I said so!" or "I don't think long grind is accomplishment nor fun because I said so!" "If ppl can't aim for every gear in this game it's bad because I said so!"
Right, definition of fun is his opinion, I got it. But surely there isn't a reason to brought it up over and over again as there won't be a real conclusion over this.
Also, there's a reason why dev won't reply every request, game dev's often view game issues from completely different POV from gamers most of the time. Some of the request are beyond silly on these forums, and replying everything needs resources. Some requests makes sense on these forums, but very 1 sided without math support, just personal experience that doesn't apply to everyone. Topic derailing surely isn't the reason why dev ignored us.
There's also a reason why I replied to that Karate thing. He used Karate as an argument about skill v.s gears. I replied that in standard Karate competitions, you don't hold swords, you fight with bare hands, so it's not a good example. It's not derailing, it's relevant to the discussion.
See? Not this again. I fail to see in what way that I "rebuked my own argument". If you like other accomplishments like short grind or solo AA, just go do it. I didn't ask SE to remove every accomplishment in game besides long term goal. But removing long grind would means less goal to aim for players liking long grind.
