Very well, let's break it down.Quote:

Thus a perfectly acceptable reaction is to see you think we want this to be FFXI and we should just go play that game if that's what we want.
The assumption I made is that you assume everyone has the option, if they want said features, to just play the game with those features (not sure where you get this "belief that everyone has that opinion" stuff). Admittedly not the strongest assumption, but not so crazy of a leap to make given you just told everyone to go play FFXI and gave no reason for the contrary.
It is, according to Merriam and good ole Webster, an unwillingness to accept others behaviors that differ from your own when you tell them to just go play FFXI, if we want systems from it, because (like I said) people have their reasons for playing one MMO and making it FFXIV.
So no. I didn't insult you. And yes, I was verbose and loquacious to get the point across.
When it comes to Merits themself, yes, it was a stopgap to leveling in FFXI. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, given that some of the complaints for Heavensward is increasing the level cap caused problems. Merits allow for vertical growth and also allow for some horizontal growth, given that developers have complete control over what they could do, versus a pretty static set of rules a level up has. It has a lot more potential than just being an extension of leveling.

So, I was not insulted by being accused of being narrow minded because you can quote a dictionary? I stand behind my statement that you have reading comprehension issues given the way that you interpreted my very clear writing. Stating an opinion should not be interpreted as suggesting that EVERYONE has that opinion unless is is specifically stated. Please don't be insulted.
Look, you can continue to be nostalgic about FFXI as much as you want. There were some great features in that game (such as CoP as in my previous post). Grind fests such as merits was not one of the ones that I enjoyed and would not enjoy it being ported into this, currently very well balanced, game. -
