What you are doing is no different than me. I've said the same thing multiple times, I never said you couldn't have an opinion. Doesn't mean I won't disagree with it or try to show that your position is flawed. That's not forcing an opinion, that's making a case.

At best, your behavior is no different from mine, so stop trying to stand on some moral high ground, because you're not on it. Any attempt to blame me/us falls flat because you're being just as aggressive if not more so. As noted above, you've actually commented on this more than I, spicy, or even Pixela have.

I invite you to quote where I ever said "you can't have an opinion."

Quite different I'd say, you continuously repeating your opinion over and over is def forcing it. You've said your opinion to literally anyone that comes into the thread like you are some authority. Its not uncommon with your posts, you like to pretend your opinion is "Fact" and then when called out on it you pretend otherwise.

The position being flawed is an OPINION of yours. I didn't post my opinion to be confirmed by you and I'm sure nobody else did either. You give yourself too much importance.

I also have more posts on this because I can't care to load a new screen to edit the post, so I post or quote someone else in a separate post. Its not simply having a higher post count on the subject. You've edited your posts a billion times, I think if you sum up the posts you've talked more on the subject than me. However, who gives a F?

Yea Asura is the biggest server ever seen in XIs life.... so of course I'll find more people that agree with my opinion and share it, unlike a backwater server that has 300 ppl max online lol. Of course you can't find anyone who voices their opinion, where exactly did you take a poll on that? Just really silly to even bring that up in the first place "MY FRIENDS AGREE WIT ME AND NOBODY ELSE COMPLAINED" ok case closed, close the thread, a backwater server with 300 ppl and nobody complained, they were silent.

The same person... jeeze, you are doing anything to belittle my opinion

[Pixela]

It is unfortunate to witness this over time and conceptualize the certain implications it outlines for the author. When your identity it too intertwined with the game. Your fevered opinion is less about being an objective and more a matter of personal display.

You'd have to think highly of yourself. To believe not only that posting here is something the Devs will see from you, but that it matter. Frankly, nothing I have ever seen you post comes to mind as something for a Dev. Certainly nothing in these forums though.

that's you lol

There are a number of people who are hyper invested in this game and well known to be so.

You're in that group, and pointing at others and pretending you're not the same is asinine.

This is coming from the guy who attempted to make an anti cheat server wide black list post in 2023 on another fan site, close to midnight on new years eve.

He's actually trying to insinuate someone cares too much about the game... you can't make this up. He keeps posting word salads also, what a laugh.

You are the only one in a thread about a vanity shield in a 20 yr old game, making things personal. But that's nothing new it seems. Nobody cares here more than you, and you only care about personally attacking people and invalidating their opinions based on your grudges over petty things, weird.

Go-go-gadget psychological defense mechanisms! Look, if you don't want to be honest enough then so be it. However, I am irrelevant in this equation. That "word salad"—be you possibly not understanding it or otherwise—is simply an analysis, an argument, an allegation. Your behavior is obviously a matter of personal aspects. If you don't want it to be that way then don't make your posts come from what is obviously such a personal place.

I don't have a grudge with you. Quite a bit of projection from your responses at times.

Further, not that it is really important. Besides deliberate mischaracterization and exaggeration of the first part there. There is a difference between participation in a hobby and making a hobby your identity. This should be somewhat clear when comparing my responses to yours.
Also, the fact that I don't spend thousands and thousands of dollars commissioning and uploading deficient looking figurines.

You're such an incredible pos sometimes, so unnecessary.

I can be mean to people, so I kind of understand you but I at least try to not go all the way and very often end up deleting things I post and sometimes apologizing if I feel I went too far, but you're just all in on it.

He thinks he comes across like that architect from the Matrix, but he just ends up looking really silly. I've dealt with people much worse than him, I honestly wish him well and have tried to talk to him outside of here in PMs but he likes to go "public" in a 20 yr old game and try to personally attack people. Like was explained to me, hes got some issues.

How exactly do I make my hobby my "identity"? You don't know anything about me outside of what I choose to divulge and my forum posts, just like I don't know anything about you other than what I can read on forums. Once again you are making things personal, anyone reading this thread can see how unhinged you are to the point you are literally throwing out hateful opinions in each post desperately trying to hurt your perceived enemies lol. You are quite literally the only one making anything in this thread personal, everyone else is debating the topic and talking about a shield and you continuously come in here attacking peoples character.

I also spend thousands and thousands of dollars traveling, something you should try instead of caring about whos cheating in a 20 yr old game.

Bickering exists because you have Spicyryan and Alhanelem

[Alhanelem]

As they say, "it takes two (sides) to tango." People love to blame me (and spicy) for everything but the reality is we wouldn't have nearly as much to say without a few others in particular.
