There are bad things about everybody. I just don't see how of what she said to be illogical. It sounded a bit harsh maybe, but not illogical.

Wow. Sounds hardcore...but a bit funny too. lol :D.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. I was getting the feeling that, for the last few posts, you truly were not able to understand me. Admittedly, I have a weird way of thinking sometimes (I guess this is just one of those times) that prevents complete comprehension from others. At least on the first read. I'm guessing, you'd have to re-read my post a dozen or so times (half of which while standing on your head) to get it. Basically, 'read between the lines' ... but on steroids. lol :p
Also, it really does look like you are misreading my post and assigning untrue statements with paraphrases from your own thoughts (defamation), or enjoy trying to put unspoken words in my mouth.
So, to clarify some points...
"attacking me and resorting to a superiority complex" -- Nope. That's all you. Calling you "ignorant" after you had called me "ignorant" is as far as I took the personal attack - just returning the favor with some information to un-ignorant-ize you... As when your own posts came off with a "superiority complex" all their own...Really... Belligerent much?
"look something up?" -- I'm not going to write or copy/paste a wall of text that's better written in articles circulating the web, when I can just refer you to google, for more information about a term.
"you talk about how Japan vacuums emotions and it causes them to have unstable emotional/psychological issues" -- Hyperbole much? I didn't say it like that, nor did I state there were numerous issues. I only briefly illustrated one such occurrence, to shed some light on social pressures, and how they can take a turn for the worse.
On the subject on Japan, and "people who are feeling suppressed," that's their culture, and you have no right to judge or to feel pity for them. That, I feel, would be extremely arrogant on your part, and very insulting to the object of your pity. The vast majority of Japanese lead healthy and fulfilling lives. Yes, their work/school lives are very busy and, for some, extremely demanding and stressful. But, they have very elaborate forms of entertainment (some of which may not be legal in the US or other similar countries). All these forms of entertainment help them cope with the daily grind and stress, and many have elements of escapism (like maid cafes - where the patrons get to feel like important big shots - even if it's just a fantasy for a couple of hours). MMORPGs in particular - being one of them - is one such way that they can escape to be a virtual self. So, it's only natural that they would observe the same customs in game as they do in the real world.
Also, I never once "name call Americans and state how worthless they are." That's all you. Maybe you are the one with a disdain for Americans. No, I stated how I avoid NA servers. That doesn't mean Americans only. Many gamers from around the world (incl. Asia and EU) have toons on NA servers. Don't assume that NA server = Americans only. Y'see I avoid those servers; b'cuz, they are usually overflowing with WoW kids. And, as I have read, researched and understood, it's the WoW generation that has turned the once respectful MMO/MUD/MOBA NA gaming community (over the last 10 years) into the vile cesspool of toxicity that it is today.
So, let me clarify: I'm sorry if I don't want to play with people that have 0 fucking patience for newbies, or who get pissed off and vote kick on the first wipe, or who yell and scream at a TV screen (like a mental patient) when things don't go their way, or who simply can't be assed to learn how to behave online like decent human beings. That's the shit there I want to avoid like a highly-infectious terminally-ill AIDS case spewing bodily fluids everywhere. I don't need that, so.... I'm reaaal fvckin soowwwyy that I don't want to have stress in a vidja gaem, from ppl I don't even know, nor could even begin to show the slightest modicum of respect. ...I get enough of that from work and school - I don't need it during MY leisure time.
So again, it looks like you had misread what I had typed. Maybe, somewhere, I had also misread yours too? Maybe, we just cannot understand each other. Maybe we should just cease further dialogue. まぁ~。。。ざんねんだ。 本当に仕方ない。
.......What did I just see,?
Can SE make a server just for the people on this forum, and then let us all migrate there? It seems to me that the people that come to the forums and post are the sociable ones that want a true MMO experience and want to have a nice community. I want to play with you guys, not the zombies and "efficient" players.
And I would say to change the duty finder so that it would be possible to queue with people from your sever only, thus helping build up each community, but I've been on some servers in which such a change would be a death sentence. People there were so negative that they would leave premade parties just because you had someone that they didn't like in there.
I only ever get angry at players who get angry for no reason, or who vote to abandon/kick players after just a wipe or two of a difficult run when there are new players in a party. It's one thing if the party keeps wiping over and over again on the same mechanic, but I've had A4 runs where people would abandon after just two wipes, when one of those was past half health on the third phase....
The only time I've gotten mad at someone for being bad at the game was one tank I had when running Sohm Al once. As a MCH, I was consistently having to tank at least one target if not more, with said target being the primary target that was marked. I get that I'm clearly the highest DPSing class in the game as a MCH, but how exactly can you have played a tank up to that point and not know how to at least hold aggro on small groups?
