Funny how it goes both ways

Oh really, did I do that? Looks like you're replying to the wrong person their buddy, never said their behavior was OK, either. But if you insist, both are equally as bad.

Yes it is funny how that works, especially when it was another poster doing it.

Though what you're doing now is simply trying to deflect. I was countering Alleo's points by highlighting the hypocrisy of her stance and her stalking of Aveyond's profile. What you and your ilk like to do is see someone doing something, remain silent, then when someone else pushes back suddenly there's an outcry over that self-same pushback. Thankfully more people are becoming wise to these tactics.

Me and my ilk, no I'm just an individual expressing my own opinions as and when I see fit throughout any thread I see fit, but if you wish. Sounds like you're speaking both out of your depth and with a warped perception of reality if this is your outlook, but whatever makes you sleep at night, I guess.

I get it though coming up with these narratives and trying to poison the well is sort of your thing. Fortunately, people are becoming wise to this tactic of yours.

You're free to draw whatever conclusions you so wish. There's certainly no shortage of forum posters who, especially in response to any criticism of Endwalker, decide to come up with all sorts of wild theories about posters who simply come here to discuss the game and leave feedback.

Which is precisely what I was referring to in regards to 'ilk'.

Either way, if you're unwilling to agree to disagree then I have no further reason to engage with you.

I think I remember in the Asmongold interview Yoshida talking about preferring hardcore or oldschool mmorpgs, and, of course, he is very busy.

I was talking about this on Discord, but I think IS would have been better received if it wasn't such a highlight for the expansion, and I feel like the only reason it was, is due to the lack of actual content (so far). On it's own, it's some average novelty content, if it had released alongside, soon after, or just prior to more lasting content it definitely would have been better received.

I've been lucky enough that I've had a decent amount of forum lurkers or a couple regulars message or chat me up in-game, and it was all positive. :)

Now who's stalking lol.

You guys heard it here first on the FFXIV official forums. Looking up a post that someone willingly created on a public website is now considered stalking.

To be fair, what outcome did you expect trying to reason with zealots?
We allow this to happen in the public forum even when it comes to issues that affect many others. Of course it would happen in just about any entertainment forum, lol.

I would say I have been pretty neutral with respect to my stance on the game and what I view as its flaws. You seem to be under the impression that all individuals are going to have the self-same criticism and are thus universal across the community. But I hardly think you should be the one to come up with the point regarding wild theories considering your assessment of myself thus far based on the sum of what is arguably a very limited amount of encounters with yourself.

This is precisely what I was referring to when discussing you being out of your depth and coming in with some warped perception about other posters. You know, coming up with all sorts of wild theories about other posters who simply come here to have a discussion. But alas, I see you cannot go even a couple of posts without exhibiting some form of hypocrisy, which you have equally just called out another poster for.

Claiming Zealotry over this is pretty hyperbolic there, bud.

The burden of proof is on the person making the claim. You come with wild claims, be prepared to back them up and defend them

If your baseline for zealotry is a thread such as this with a discussion then I stand by my point of it being hyperbole.

Well, one says you are blindly defending faults. You say there are no faults. Go on, explain. lol
