Level cap increase every 1-2 years.

[Ferth]

Now you are just putting words in people's mouths.

You are still trying to proselytize.

I am not trying to force anyone to my point of view, I'm trying to get accurate representation for both sides. I'd be just as happy if this thread or the previous one on the subject had two posts. "Like this if you are in favor of X" and "Like this if you are in favor of Y." Or hell, "Like this if you don't give a rats ass."

I recognize that my perspective is just as skewed as yours is. And I'm not trying to convince people who don't agree with me that they are somehow wrong.

I will, however, point out when an argument is weak.

And you know what. You are right about Auction Girl's post. She makes several really valid points. My highest craft in FFXI was 36 goldsmithing so I never experienced the stagnation of crafting. It was completely off my radar.

However since her post before that started out by saying "The FEW who liked this..." I largely ignored her... because as you pointed out; the only guy who dictates what's going on is Yoshida.

I am not taking the standpoint that if you disagree with me gtfo.

I just am tired of people coming up and saying "I didn't like this and all my friends didn't like this so it clearly isn't the best way to go."

My sole goal here is to ensure that the people who found value in the system of having a static level cap are represented and that the dev team considers that in their decision, regardless of which direction they end up going.

Everything that I've said has been in defense of it, and has been from my personal experience. I've not tried to speak for anyone but myself. When I have said something without having the full facts I've tried to make up for it. Our discussion about raids for example.

I have never said that Sky was just as relevant right before Abyssea as it was when it first released. I have merely pointed out that it still bore relevance.

But as Rjain pointed out about 5 pages ago, the debate, the arguing is largely worthless because no one is going to convince anyone else that their personal views are some how wrong.

At this point it then just comes down to that if you prefer one way or the other, just say so. Don't try to undermine one or the other, because it really is just personal opinion.
