The New Sage Icon, Thoughts?

[TeraRamis]

Does it? Why?

I don't want to put words into his mouth, but I think it was a generalization.

One of the many problems with the modern world is that hypochondria has been glamorized into a fashionable infirmity. Everyone seems to have self-diagnosed themselves with some form of crippling disease or disorder. They then utilize their newly-proclaimed enfeeblement to exert authority and wield power over others.

Does it? Why?

It feels more like a reach with their comment honestly. Mainly cause the complaints about the icon solely came from the JPN community, and JPN rarely if ever bends to western knee jerk culture and ultimatums in entertainment media.

If it is a beginning for anything it is assumptions.

Because typically in these situations you give them an inch they’ll take a yard and expect their every whim to be addressed and pandered to them.

I suspect they'll keep using the same criteria they've always used when addressing complaints and requests. Time and effort required vs. demand and/or outcry for change.

They received a lot of negative feedback and it was quick and easy to change. This doesn't apply to many of the wild what-if scenarios people have thrown about.

thought trypophobia was internet nonsense on level of alexandria's genesis?

Why couldn't it just be 1 of those things instead of 4 of those things with 1 of them getting stabbed by 1 other

I have a very low pain threshold when it comes to stupidity.

Sorry, I think you misunderstood. I mean you have several complaint for the sake of complaining posts.

Such as "doesn't do enough to teach mechanics while others do" when in fact they do not.

I like the original icon better.


The Dev Team should allow us to choose which icons we want to use, no other players would have to see the original icon but the players who choose to use it.


I think it's unfair to deprive us from such a nice icon (original) just because a fraction of players have issues with it.

It's pretty much internet nonsense. Trypophobia describes an unsettling feeling provoked by certain visuals, but the idea that it's in some way emotionally crippling is just invented. This is a real disorder that actually destroys lives. Trypophobia isn't - and it can't be. Because you just can't get away from holes in things - it's the world we live in; stuff has depressions, pockmarks, craters, etc. If every one of those little things sent people into convulsions, or a trip to the hospital, I think we'd be hearing about it.

I think both versions of the icon suck, and they don't make me think of anything having to do with a sage, nor do they look much like the sage weapon that's been shown off at all. It's hard to care about the reasoning when they're both so bad!

I'm so not sorry that you're bothered by my negative evaluation of various things. It will definitely not prevent me from sleeping tonight.
