mmorpg's review

[Preypacer]

I don't care if you make yourself look like a fool along with everyone else going to essentially troll someone. That's fine if you want to do that. I hardly see how those of us who can actually see the author's point are throwing a temper tantrum. We're not the one calling people names.

You see the reviewer's point in asserting something that's clearly been confirmed as being "rumored"? What point is there in that?

You see the reviewer's point in including UI as part of the game's graphics? What point is there in that? Most reviews I've read have UI/Interface as their own category. What point was there in this reviewer lumping it in with a category it doesn't belong in?

You see the reviewer's point in giving an opinion on content they evidently never even got to or experienced? What point is there in that?

Care to share with us all these "points" that some of us - according to you - aren't "actually seeing"?

I'm genuinely curious to see how you can spin those things into anything but damning evidence of a poorly researched and written review by a less-than-credible reviewer.

Please do so without resorting to ad hominems (calling people fanboys, etc) or strawmen (making it about the score, etc).

It actually hasn't. Any non-FF player going in XIV is just as likely to put it down right now as they were at launch. Sure, the UI lag is largely fixed, there a few quests that have no real purpose, and NMs that feel like filler material. Clearly the game is golden compared to launch. If it makes me a hater to call a spade a spade, then label me a hater until the cows come home. I'm not going to sit here and pretend the game is great just because I enjoy it, or you enjoy it. It's not.

... because you know every non FF player who might decide to pick the game up now and what they would do?

I think you should stick to speaking for yourself. You're unqualified to speak for anyone else... let alone a population of hypothetical people you couldn't possibly know or identify.

The game has improved since launch. Whether it's "a lot", "a little", "plenty" or "not enough" is entirely subjective and depends on what a given individual thinks of it.

I find it funny how those still attempting to make a strong argument for the review at this point are repeatedly resorting to either strawmen, conjecture or ad hominems. Fewer and fewer are actually even attempting to address the actual points that have been raised time and again now.

So, your entire last paragraph is a non-argument. It's personal opinion wrapped up in conjecture and asserted as fact.
