Gamer lables -- why

[Gilraen]

The problem I have with gamer labels is that they tend to be incredibly black and white with one side accepting no other interpretations. You see this alot in the parser threads, an inordinate amount of pro-parser people asserting that good players use them and those that don't aren't good players. Players come in too many flavors to quantify in a black and white manner and the whole notion of labeling only serves to make those doing the labeling out to be compensating for something.

This is pretty much what I'm getting at, the negativity with the lables.


Thanks for the great replies btw,ut please keep it civil I don't want to see this turn into a flame fest, no one persons opinion is wrong. So please don't bicker over it.

I also find it weird people claim to not have enough time to play, in ff11 people had full time jobs, families, did other stuff infact i had a few teachers in my LS yet they all could dedicate 5 hours to ff11. What changed?

I know that off topic, but I'm curious about it.

I could camp NMs for my LS in a separate window/screen whilst at work and use those 8hrs/day 'constructively' XD

FFXIV is a lot more busy.
