Labyrinth and Syrcus Tower...

[Mirhd]

I was recently leveling jobs that level “hun” so not sure what you are accusing me of excusing and justifying?

You are excusing it, inadvertently it or not. You claimed you were leveling jobs that level (if you were, fine), therefore you getting Lab/Tower means no one is exploiting an oversight, despite the numerous posts on this forum admitting such? Really, now?

And really, did you seriously think leveling jobs didn't occur to anyone as a possibility, at any point? Problem is, that is clearly not what is happening here, which is why people are irritated in the first place, hun.

hun.

Your opinion is not necessarily correct just because you use the most condescending language, buttercup

I lose patience with those who excuse, (again) inadvertently or not, the behavior already outlined in this thread, hun. Also, I must have missed the part where facts are now opinions... you know, the fact that people admit to gaming the system? Yeah, that.

yet more patronizing twaddle

Oh, bless your heart! I am not disputing whether or not people are gaming the system, darling. I am disputing your value judgment. You think it's bad and should be against the rules. I (and many others) do not, given the current reward structure. Pay attention to the second part, cupcake, the value judgment is the "opinion" in question.


I hope that clears it up for you, hun.

You know, the only one who is being condescending in this thread now is you. You can't really blame them for responding to you in due recourse.

I thought it was pretty obvious I was exaggerating to make a point, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nah, you were just taking perceived condescension and doing the exact same thing you got so worked up over.

Fighting fire with fire doesn't accomplish anything. Especially when the fire wasn't even legitimate in the first place.

I think you should calm down at this point...

Gaethan_Tessula had the right of it. My first use of "hun" was not meant to be patronizing, but the second was an expression of irritation. Its a word I just use whenever, same way I use it in real life. Of course, SerLuke couldn't have known that, but the fact he got so worked up over one word (like you), focusing on that instead, rather than my argument, says more about him than it does me.... same goes for you.

Really, you're trying far too hard at this point.

Again, I was exaggerating to make a point, nobody talks like that in real life (I hope).

And I did actually address the substance of your thoughts as well. I don't think it's wrong to game the system because there is an incentive to do it. Someone proposed a min. iLvl to queue for alliance based on your job level to prevent it from happening, and I think that would be a good idea provided the exp scales appropriately. As it is now, there is no reason not to game the system other than 'some people are tired of LotA/ST' and 'helping new people.'

And, in case you doubt my motivations, I have never cheesed my iLvl to avoid a higher level duty, and the idea didn't even occur to me until I saw this thread. I do whatever the roulette gives me, but I can understand why other people don't.
