Fighting Desperately...

[Tibian]

The thread is to the point of people just reminiscing and you need to be a jackass? I'm sorry you didn't like XI, but you shouldn't be able to defend XIV as it stands now. Maybe after 2.0. Its fine to disagree with someone's thoughts, but all you did was attack and name call without being provoked in the slightest. If you got called out, insulted, ignored, or ANYTHING then I could see your attitude, but you weren't. If you are just lookin to start an arguement in here that you could already find elsewhere, then my apologies, feel free to make yourself look like a jerk. If all XI is was masochism then gtfo and leave us sadists to remember the times fondly.

Edit: PS; I believe you meant XI was sadistic and we the players were masochistic. I just remarked sadist to conform to your description of XI.

The purpose of my post is to voice an opposing side to XI loyalists. I do not want to see XI's masochistic tendencies in 2.0 at all, even in the slightest form.

The OP is clearly deluded by his or her nostalgia for XI and claims XIV is bad because it isn't taking the antiquated concepts from XI and implementing them.

It is also very RARE that you see any of my posts defending XIV, because I in fact think the game is still in a very sour state and will continue to be until 2.0. With that being said, the current state of XIV is by far, more enjoyable to me than XI ever was due to its non-masochistic concepts.

Did XI do some correct things? Certainly, but the OP does not mention those concepts and instead focuses on what I consider the worst part of XI -- the mind numbing, persistent, body aching grind of time and monotony, and then wants to see it directly in XIV. So yes, I will be loud, critical, and very adamant against most of what the OP has to say in hopes that the CR team does see that people (such as myself) dislike 70% or more of what XI stood for and do not think that implemented XI mechanics are a good idea.
