    Since I'm already making assumptions, I'm going to assume you never played FFXI. Because you seem to know very little about it.

    I'm also going to assume you never read any of the WoW forums complaining how toxic the community has become since the addition of jumping potions.

    Also, I'm going to assume that you know very little about WoW's RMT situation, and how for years they could not get rid of them. Still can't. But it's all okay now, because you can buy gold directly from Blizzard, in the form of a token. Right off of their cash shop. They made RMT legal, to compete with them.

    Apparently, my supporting, or simply not caring one way or another because a jump potion is somehow judgmental.
    Actually, I would base that on your interaction with others. Not on the fact you want the jumping potion. But there I go again, making assumptions that your harmful rhetoric and spite towards others is somehow judgmental. Maybe I should instead assume that's just you being friendly?

    But if you really don't care about all of this... why are you defending your position so vehemently?

    And before you ask the same of me, I'll say I actually care about the game I play. I've heard "the game is dying" bs from the start of FFXI: CoP. Still alive. Maybe not kickin', but definitely still around. It's going to be very hard to convince me so early in, that FFXIV is going down your arbitrary "road to doom."

    But I digress. I'm tired. I'm bored of the discussion, as it's circling around into the same tired "what do you care?" nonsense. If it will make you feel better, I'll even say you win.

    I did play it, albeit not for long. Didn't particularly like it, though not for story reasons.

    WoW has several million players. By simple statistics, they will have a much larger "toxic" portion of their community. People have complained about that long before a jump potion were added.

    Actually, I know a WoW GM personally. No MMO will ever get rid of RMTs because of how they operate. They ban a handful and new bots are made. A game with WoW's population and popularity will inevitably attract more.

    My interactions have been to disagree with you and call old content irrelevant. You apparently took umbrage to it. If you deem words on a forum where I, at no point, uttered so much as curse word to any one person, "harmful". Well, perhaps Tumblr can relate. Disagreeing with someone is not spiteful or malicious.

    Because it's a forum and I'll reply to whomever responses if I feel like it? I'm simply arguing the other side. And I never once said FFXIV was dying nor did I even imply it. I said if content is continuously gated by an ever growing quest requirement. It will deter new players. You're inferring what hasn't been said.

    Do whatever you fancy. It doesn't matter to me.
