The New Sage Icon, Thoughts?

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

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.

I just find it funny is all. "fix this SE, it's terrible!"

"why did you change that, it's stupid"

Yeah it's really funny cause literally nobody asked for it to be fixed than a few who have a bad feeling when staring at holes. WEIRD.

No, she's complaining about me and my casual contempt for much of the world, specifically.

For what it's worth, I quite enjoy many of your posts and feel as though you've raised a number of good points based on what I've seen.

Guess that's no one...


This is the tiniest thing in the world and you all are acting like it's a huge issue.

I also find it funny that many of the people complaining about this change have requests of their own for changes.

It’s kind of funny to me they do all this because a job icon made a few people uncomfortable. But nothing is to be said for the fight where an underage girl strips and has a dragon slither all over her. Interesting…

I'm a person repulsed by those 'holes in hands' Photoshops you run into now and again, and the original icon provoked absolutely zero reaction. I think this was a pretty clear-cut issue of people complaining just to complain. Get a grip.

"It doesn't affect me personally, therefor it is objectively not an issue. Everybody else is being dumb, because only MY opinion matters."

Like, I have what I would call a phobia of deep waters, but I can deal with some things and not with others (the Tempest gets me only a little spooked, but I can barely watch a video of Subnautica). EDIT: But I don't expect all people to react the way I do.

Unfortunately this seems like just the beginning. Give these people an inch they’ll take a yard. Who knows what other things on game now will start to trigger them and they’ll need to be pandered to yet again.

The problem with this slippery slope thinking is that most people understand that phobias are irrational fears, and that they are the exception, not the rule. It's nice when they cater to these little things, but it's understandable when they can't or it would be too ridiculous, like say, going back and removing the Ruby Sea or the Tempest just for a handful of players.

Don't do the dungeon with Queen Hawk then. You'll be in for quite a tryp.

I mean, if we want to be petty I believe certain posters have personally shot down requests for 1.0 items to be unlocked and made available to everybody because they themselves do not want to lose their feeling of exclusivity. That is despite the fact that there's legitimate disorders based around a fear of missing out.

I'd assume such a stance from those same individuals is proof enough that not every single request needs to be given the time of day or supported. Furthermore, it grows increasingly tiresome when requests with far more popularity and staying power behind them are ignored only for recent complaints about very minor issues are actively embraced and paraded around as 'progress'.

I'm not one to beat around the bush, so I won't. As far as I'm concerned the Final Fantasy XIV community has a real issue with a vocal minority of its population glorifying minute issues, making them seem like a huge deal and showing contempt for those who would prefer niche requests be shelved instead of constantly being given time and attention.

It's color is wrong. It ought to be red.
