Hey, Sincerely Thank You SE for easing up on Coil

[Tiggy]

I know I probably don't win any points for arguing this. But you continue to confuse fact with you subjective evaluations.
Fact is the game barely a year old. It is your subjective opinion that it is young.
Fact WoW, FFXI, EQ, etc. are older and has more content. But it is your subjective opinion that FFXIV ARR has little content.

This is how you get yourself into logical fallacies and false equivalences.

There are several MMO's out that make FFXIV look like an infant.
- Everquest 15 years
- Ultima Online 16 Years
- Final Fantasy XI 12 years

Older games have more content, or do you really intend to tell me FFXIV stands up to XI in terms of content? (Yes, I know the older it is it has more content, but that's the point.)
Until such a time as FFXIV has more content everything can't be divided so simply into super easy or super hard. Some content will be spread out to create a mid game. Older more mature MMO's have fully developed mid games due to moving older content into that niche. We don't have that niche in this game yet because we have very little content. Now that SCOB is unlocked we finally have the beginnings of one. We have a clearly defined easy game (CT, ST, FCOB, dungeons), midgame (Second Coil, Some Ex Primals, Ultima Hard Mode), and hard game (newest ex primal, TCOB) and it's finally beginning to flesh out. We are only now after all seeing the end of the first full development life cycle as we approach the first expansion.

You keep using those words, but I have reasons to believe what I think so I reject them and I do not think you know what they mean.
Unless of course a 1 year old game somehow doesn't seem young compared to games over a decade old, or that somehow it's content maturity even stands a chance against those incumbents. I'd love to see that argument.

But the reality is people farming T9 are selling SCOB turns for 60 mil gil. That is a fact.

SOME people do that. Not everyone. You need to realize that your judging the whole by the actions of a few. That's textbook discrimination and prejudice. Some people can be, for lack of a better word, complete d-bags. That doesn't mean those people are limited to the raider group. There are just as many that don't raid at all. I take offense that just because I raid I must sell runs, or I must clearly do "clears only" pug groups, or any other horrible thing. You don't know me, or anything about me, or anything about anyone else here on this forum. Acting like we all do that is inaccurate, and since you love it, a logical fallacy.

The assertion that some raiders are bad people therefore all raiders are bad people is false.

You see this kind of assessment is subjective by its nature.
Th

1 year is young compared to the 15 Ultima online has been around for and it claims to have created the genre. It's not subjective that FFXIV is a young game at all. You're criteria for what designates an MMO as "old" is flawed and your grasping at straws. Comparing a 1 year old game to a game that just launched is a very poor way to judge what constitutes an old MMO.

The problems is when you do NOT use precise language you are subject to being lead into logical fallacies and fall into the trap of false equivalences.

The problem is you can only nitpick failures at being extremely precise because you have no other leg to stand on. You know exactly what I'm trying to say, but you degrade down to arguing about how to determine the age of an MMO and semantics? Seriously man? You're the one acting like all raiders are terrible people. Concentrate on your own fallacies.

And so you make false assertions and deliberately put words in my mouth that I never said.

Fact remains people are selling SCOB turns for 60 mil. Also fact we see PFs with requirements must have clears or multiple clears. What does this imply? The select group of those experienced players (not all) are not treating the the rest of the player base with the proper respect and not being inclusive of the rest of the player base, and this kind of bad behavior needs to stop.

I think most people in this thread can appreciate the fact that your rhetoric and the words you just said disagree with one another.

And so you make false assertions and deliberately put words in my mouth that I never said.

I never said you spoke those words. I was paraphrasing the way your rhetoric was making you sound using my own words in a stand logic If A Therfore B format. Once again nitpicking. You keep bringing up logic and fallacies so my apologies if I thought you'd understand the form.

I'm out of posts so I'm done for the day. Done having every possible way to nitpick an English sentence to sidetrack and distract from an argument when the meaning was clear as it is. Pretty insane that people just can't have a conversation or admit when maybe they went overboard in their rhetoric.
