Petition to Lift Balmung Server Lock / Impact of Server Lock on FFXIV RP Community

[Oaken]

Unfortunately, I lack the time to solo a dozen or so uniformed, disinterested internet forum heros who regurgitate tautological arguments and show blind, lemming-like deference to SE's undisclosed business decisions, and who are so unfamiliar with the mechanics and structure of the RP community that they can't begin to even understand how a server lock impacts the RP community.

Reasonable people who can think for themselves are not content to believe a proposition without evidence. At the end of the day, there is no evidence of that Balmung's current population levels are detrimental or excessive. There are no queues or technical issues. The lock is causing stagnation and fragmenting FFXIV's RP community into increasingly isolated communities that will accelerate stagnation. Pointing to a decision made six months ago by your benevolent technocrat under a completely different set of circumstances and declaring your blind loyalty to that technocrat proves nothing other than your own ignorance.

These arguments have been made and repeated several times, and there are simply better things to do than address the same flawed thinking.

This is the truth people. there are better things to do than address OP's flawed thinking.

And please stop using the thesaurus to pad your posts OP. It's not actually doing you any favours.

At the end of the day, there is no evidence of that Balmung's current population levels are detrimental or excessive.

The evidence is that SE has closed Balmung - something they would not have done without reason.
SE could of course be wrong about the need to keep Balmung closed - but it is a fact that they have access to much more information about the actual population levels and about how much load the servers can handle than you or I have.

Additional evidence is that keeping servers closed mean that SE are losing out on the transfer fees of people willing to pay to transfer to Balmung - few companies will refuse money without good reason.

... you speak of uniforms again.. when do I get mine?


proofreading nitpicks aside, you have not answered my two simple questions:

You believe the server can handle all RP players on it at once?

You believe SE has left Balmung closed simply because they forgot to unlock it or because of misguided attempts to spread out players?




You and every single person you role play with are not enough to warrant consideration in an equation that pits you against the populations of every other server on the data center.
We oppose because you are suggesting actions that will possibly destabilize and affect our own worlds.
We mock because you are arguing like someone with fingers in their ears singing "la la la" whenever someone says something you do not want to hear.
I'll respond if you answer my questions with anything other than your favorite 7 dollar words strung together that only translate to :"I have no actual arguments for this".
Otherwise, I'm going to assume you are yet another spoiled and short sighted troll who cannot see beyond their own inconvenience, and laugh and point with all the others.

I am not the OP, but:

All the RP players?
Sure, it can handle those easily.

All the RP players, plus a bunch of non-RPers who still prefer to play on an RP server because of the atmosphere, plus a number of players who want to play on whatever server is the biggest, plus a large number of random players - new and old, plus a few gold sellers, plus a few anti-RP trolls?
That could get problematic....

Every single RP-er from every single server? Because the OPs original statement implies this is the goal.
doubtful.

"SE is lying about Balmung is overpopulated because I can login without a queue. I'm right because no one else has proof."

Hmm...

[Lazaruz]

Unfortunately, I lack the time to....

I'm gonna stop you there.

Either counter what people bring up to argue against you, or concede to the fact that maybe, you're wrong.
Although then again, if you didnt already know it, you'd have countered the fact that people actually have picked appart your arguments (me especially)


Trying to take the high ground, while sticking your fingers in your ear and yelling "lalalala I cant hear you!" while spitting out big words as if you were recently gifted a thesaurus wont make you right. It wont even make you smart. It just makes you look like an ass

Alright...time to bring the big words out.

*clears throat*

As you have made perfectly clear, you have addressed many of the fallacious arguments that you addressed in your original postings with asinine arguments on your own without substantiating the words which you have brought here. Instead, you engage in annular contretemps, and regardless of how much your assumed evidence is, you keep invalidating any response, no matter how reasonable it may be. The truth of the matter is that you are full of bluster and championing yourself as the only person who knows what they are talking about.

*sigh*

In other words, you're just being a complete ass.

Oh sorry...big words.

You're being a jackass.

Put the thesaurus down and come out with your hands up.
