Looks like this thread was pruned by moderators - some of the posts have disappeared, including one of mine. I will first restore my earlier replies (excluding the one quoting the deleted message), then address some of the newly raised concerns.

And that's entirely fine with me. Last I checked, we had a freedom of speech here in Eorzea. Now, if you'd provided a bit of an insight as to how exactly our opinions diverge, we might've had a good respectful discussion, but since you didn't, we're simply going to have to agree to disagree.

In this regard I'm a stounch adherent of Social Darwinism. People who want to get better at The Feast will get better whether we want them to or not. People who don't - well, in these case no amount of strategising is going to help.
