We Really Need To Talk About The State And Path Of FFXIV

[Sigma-Astra]

If FFXIV can only be compared to FFXIV, then we don't really have much to talk about.

None of us said that XIV could only be compared to XIV, again, you are strawmanning and putting words in our mouths of things that we didn't even outright even say. At this point in time, even I'm thinking that you don't read our posts half of the time if this is the only conclusion that you could come up with from my entire post earlier on in the thread.

You didn't refute any of my main points, you didn't even try, in fact, I honestly think that you can't at this point. You're not refuting anything else I've said and only shifting and moving the goal posts into something entirely off the wall each and every time. I've made very good points, you just don't want to accept them, and it sort of feels like I'm talking to a brick wall.

You can't compare XIV to Runescape in the sense, as Dualgunner has pointed on, as we all have pointed out, that they are not even remotely the same kind of MMO archetype. Runescape is not even a main competitor against XIV at this point in time simply because they are wildly different from each other in terms of structure. Now, if we were comparing what WoW has done or maybe what GW2 or what XI had done in the past, there might be some common ground. But, there's no common ground between XIV and Runescape other than the fact they're both MMO's, that's it. And that doesn't make a good comparison or argument which again, Dualgunner has also pointed out. You can't compare one thing to another just because you like the one thing and just because they are both part of the MMO genre. It's not a good comparison, that's not how comparisons even work.

And as Dualgunner has also pointed out beforehand, it's akin towards comparing Minecraft and Dark Souls and stating it's possible simply because they're both single player games. It's not....and you're either purposely missing the main point or just refusing to accept it because it invalidates your own opinions and logic, whatever the case may be.

If you want Runescape rewards, you go play Runescape. That's all there is to it. There's no reason for XIV to go down that route simply because you don't want to put forth the effort when you'd rather just put forth the time because it's easier for you.

But, I can agree on one thing with you at least that we really don't have much to talk about simply because you refuse and deny any and all truths if they don't validate your own views as correct. That's not a healthy discussion, that's a circlejerk or echo chamber.
