Rhalgrs Reach should never have existed

UGH I hate comments like this. So disrespectful. I put in the time and effort to make a point, and you come at with that attitude. Lame.

You weren't making a good point. Story wise it made a lot more sense for the Resistance to set up a base in Rhalgr's Reach than elsewhere.

That's subjective. I think it's an interesting and fairly valid point, actually.

Rhalgr's Reach is a pretty boring area that doesn't have much relevance or point to it following SB's MSQ, and Ala Mhigo does suffer from being shunted in right at the end of the expansion as a vague overworld area after being overshadowed by Doma for much of the story, despite being portrayed as a fairly important piece of Eorzea's story prior to that. Resistances often have hubs hidden throughout the place they're trying to liberate, and personally I think it would have been a much more entertaining angle to attempt to liberate the city from within via a more secretive, espionage-type route that then results in the all-out war and eventual face off with Zenos that we do get. We would have seen much more of Ala Mhigo, its culture, its people and their story than we did from seventy odd miles away hanging around old villages and abandoned training grounds, and actually get a feel for the impact of the occupation in the city proper and the conflict with the Garleans, while developing more of a bond with them in the way we did the Domans and Ishgardians. It would have gone a long way in mitigating the blandness that colours their portion of the story.

Well that's subjective, but also, these are forums and we need to communicate like actual human beings. If you think someone is making a poor point then you need to express it in words.

If that person is trolling or being a bad actor then you just shouldn't write anything.

I know I do the same thing Stormy did sometimes too. I won't even deny it, but most of that just comes down to forum culture. It's not something we should actively be doing or encouraging. I really think in general the forum needs to reign in the toxicity that it's been displaying for the last week. It's actually somehow feels worse than when titanmen was necroing every thread in sight.
