Are we really going to sit here and pretend that posts denying this and/or basically saying "no" aren't riddled with bias? Are we really?

The argument of bias need not apply here, you can see very clearly in some replies that people flat out have it out against Gilgamesh and Balmung. People who spite the server for generally no reason except virtue-signaling. "Oh I didn't go on Gil/Bal because I'm better than everyone who flocked there like sheep!" How individualistic of these people.

The only "proof" or "fact," is that Square Enix hasn't unlocked the servers yet. Though people need not be reminded of all the other things that they've made mistakes on, or flat out ignored for as long as possible.

You claim to look at the bigger picture but really you're just as biased as everyone else you are criticizing. You are saying that people are viewing things a certain way because of bias or because since things aren't exactly the way they want it, it's not "dying." Who's to say that just because Balmung and Gilgamesh are locked, people like you and others aren't just deceiving or lying to yourselves that it actually has any sort of positive or meaningful impact? I greatly dislike that people complain about false narratives and then spout one on their own. You cannot prove that the server lock has done anything for stability or how "positive things have come of it for other servers." Especially when, as far as I've seen from friends and my alts, the economies of the grand majority of servers have hardly changed.

At this point, it just sounds like you're repeating yourself if only just to tell Gilgamesh/Balmung players who care about this to shut up. How that isn't supposed to reek of bias is beyond me. It feels like I'm reading the same posts you made before regarding this subject all over again.

For the record, I still don't care if Gilgamesh is dying, and I like seeing less people, but I'm also tired of people seriously acting as if anything from Gil/Bal is "bias" or a "lie" or "not the whole picture," as if they know any better. Just because you agree with what Square Enix did, doesn't mean you're right. They're definitely not infallible.
