But yeah, that "wahh"? Smh

"cuddle puddle of ideas" I would say the forum has a very diverse set of opinions, but if you say something incredibly stupid or lacks self-awareness your going to get dunked on.

Like “you don’t have mount so you don’t get an opinion” as an example. That was incredibly stupid

That isn't what I said though, I just pointed out that his opinion isn't based on any experience. he can have his opinion but I can point out he lacks any experience with the topic. I don't go asking my baker for car repair advice.

Also, I'll go to him if I need advice on EQ2 raiding.

Sure, the forums has diverse opinions. You just get attacked if you have the wrong ones. Doesn't have to do with saying something stupid. Cause if you dunk on someone for saying something stupid but you're on the "wrong side", oh well now you have 3-4 people dunking on you.

It's a never-ending circle. Kolaina dunked on Stormpeaks for acting childish. Now people are dunking on Kolaina for acting childish, which means they are also being childish. But it's okay when they do it. Just not the person who goes against the grain. Because you're all on the side of Stormpeaks. Where as if people don't like you or Stormpeaks, they'll side with Kolaina for dunking on you. It has nothing to do with the comment itself. Just who said it and who it is against.

The fact that you didn't call out the condescending "wahh"s or "show us on the doll" proves my point.

I don't really care for either of them,I don't know anyone on the forum and can find myself agreeing with someone in one thread and disagreeing with them in another.

*looks at the cliques forming*
What is this? Discord? Besides, status over items is silly in a game where you can buy clears from other sites, lol. (I'm not accusing anyone, put down the pitchforks. You'll hurt yourself. :/)

Completely. When the raid community was smaller, back in ARR, there were tons of people with pony mounts and high Allagan / dreadwyrm. But none of them were raiders. I know because I sold most of them the clears for Gil. It was far more lucrative than crafting to make money at the time.

These people wore status symbols when the amount of participation for them was to touch the wall for instant death so they didn’t screw up mechanics.

I also said I raided in the past in FFXIV. I also have raid leadership experience in general.

You don't need to be a present FFXIV raider to have an opinion on cheating against the TOS, what raiding means to you and whether cheating has a place in it, or what you would expect from a leader in regards to communication.

If the topic was specific to mechanics of a current raid, maybe you'd have a point. You were gatekeeping pure and simple because you disagreed. When a CURRENT raider said they agreed with me, you were just like "oh since you raid today that's cool." For saying the same exact thing. *eyeroll*

I don't know how diverse the forums are, but I do know some topics have had e-wars fought over them for years on here. People are certainly very.... passionate, we'll say, about their opinions on here.
