Open letter to Naoki Yoshida about the gender locks

[Seiryuukishi]

For someone who advertises to keep it civil, I see nothing but hostility from the OP when he's being constructively criticized for not checking out the interviews first.

If you think this is hostile I'd love to know what you consider what the rest of the other fallacy is regarding this mess is? Consider this... I have just as much right as anyone else to use these forums. And FYI, kindly I might add XD, I have glanced over the interviews. Glanced I say because working the hours I do doesn't allow me much time to rest never mind go over game related things. I haven't even played in 3 weeks. So before you soapbox me on how uninformed I am remember this: I don't have time to read a book.

You're responding to everyone with passive aggressive comments and throwing your attitude around like it carries a weight above others. It does not. It makes you look smaller in comparison towards the people who are remaining gentle with their criticisms about what you're saying and your actions belittle the point that you're trying to make.

I work 7 days a week, take care of three people, run and manage four online storefronts for my personal side business, and still find time to socialize with others, catch up on current events, etc. I'm lucky if I sleep 5 1/2 to six hours a day. I've gotten used to it. I can run on 4 if need be.

I haven't fully played XIV in months. I'm lucky if I log in twice a month?

What's your final point? That we should excuse you because your life is busy? Everyone has a busy life, you're not special.

You have time, you just didn't care to to actually put in the effort first before getting on your soapbox to rant about things instead. Feelings over facts, after all. If you can't handle criticism about your actions and how you're portraying yourself, then maybe the internet is not for you.

I guess it's unrelated to this topic at hand, but you came off as passive aggressive in my thread, you know.
And everyone above your post, save for one I guess, seemed pretty reasonable. If you were referring to that post, there was no need to use "you guys" in a plural sense. Why did you come off as passive aggressive in my thread, or am I reading that wrong? I'm not mad, just curious. I don't like the drama either.

That wasn't being passive aggressive. That was just shock at how fast that topic sprang up shortly after the fanfest revelations. No one even gave the devs time to fully explain why the races were the way that they were. It was like jumping the shark, so to speak, over something we all weren't even fully detailed on.

And I guess, now we are.
