You spend your time telling people that crafting isn't meant for them. You refuse to engage on any issue you don't like. You pull statistics directly out of your ass and then talk down to anyone that challenges you on that practice.

Basically you don't debate or discuss in good faith. You talk at people instead of to them. And you refuse to acknowledge your own biases, which is a personality flaw that you won't enjoy later in life.

Has nothing to do with your opinions being in opposition to mine. Has everything to do with your garbage attitude.

This is why I've given up on engaging with anybody who displays this sort of attitude.

People who label themselves "Hardcore" seem to think they are God's Gift to FFXIV, who have so much self-importance and self-entitlement that it's just.... it's really worn thin. There are some really good elite players out there who are still humble, and *those* are the kinds of players I give all kinds of respect to. As much as I speak out against elitism, it's the vocal self-important elites that I am speaking out against.
