I'm sorry, but no. Berating other people isn't one of Zepla's points. Especially when said people are in agreement. And who said ANYthing about being "owed a reply"? My complaint is people insisting THEY want to talk about the OP, but pass up literally every opportunity to do so in favor of berating other posters instead.
Look through the last 10 pages or so prior to your post, other than my posts, which posts were talking about specific issues brought up by Zepla and NOT other posters/comments in the thread? Page 101-111.

/facepalm
Just a question, did you read this post, by chance?
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...53#post6333553
Was my first post in the thread.
What did I say in it about the content post-6.0?
And for the curious, that post was super short, unedited, well under the character limit, and all of 4 paragraphs. And short paragraphs, too. Five if you count "I do agree with Sharknado above:" as a paragraph.
Like, I'm genuinely curious:
What do you guys think my position is? I know you haven't read my posts, so what do you think I feel about EW? I'd wager you're wrong, but I'm curious now.
Apparently, anything but the topic.
FINALLY!
Another person actually talking about the topic.
- I agree mostly. There are things to do if you're looking, but as someone said in Zepla's comments section that she commented on: There's a lot to do, but most of it isn't from EW, it's from prior expansions.
- I mean...yeah, see above; I agree.
- I agree so much I've said this myself in this thread and in other threads here in General. For months. Literally months, possibly over a year now.
- Disagree. And I think Zepla does, too, based on what she said at the end of the video. And this is the problem: EW didn't cater TO ANYONE. It gave the hardcores a couple Ultimates, one good one apparently not, the Savages have been all over, and Criterion/Deep Dungeons with no rewards and little replay value. It gave the midcore even less somehow. It gave casuals basically the same thing it gave midcores.
- Marginal, I neither agree nor disagree; I'm with Zepla that things shouldn't demand you play every day, but there should be more reasons to log in and more to work on. I don't think these are deflections, per se, they just aren't great arguments. What she said about WoW and FFXIV being on the two opposite ends of the scale made sense to me. It needs to be somewhere kind of more in between, or at least part-way towards the middle.
