Predictions for OC/FT Live Letter

[Gurgeh]

Also, OP, you know very well at this point that Discord is not a cartel (you can freely join one and be welcomed), and raiders are not "upper class" - the callouts on discord are to help people clear who don't otherwise know what they are doing.

Yes I'll grant you 'Upper class' is controversial and emotive of me. Provocative. But it makes a point doesn't it? It communicates the reality of how at least one of us feels and I would suggest more than one? What do you think Jeeqbit?
But yes it was provocative and there is more than enough negative sentiment swilling around. So I should take that back.

However, your going to argue against cartel?

Seriously? You expect me to risk that? Even though it's contrary to evidence?
We've got prominent, 'influencers' setting just the best example (/sarcasm) to their fanatics that discords are great just 'because' they keep out the wrong people.

Then you've got an entire zeitgeist based on calling new players who are struggle with consistency 'progliars'

You've got logs in every discord.
You've got use of absolute pestilence like that tombstone site that uses logs also, floating around.

oh... And that's just the best of it...

Now... we get onto the worst...
how those very discords are coordinating efforts to sabotage 'snipers' (people who just want to play)
If I was part of a group, contributing to doing that to people I can guarantee you that would be my fun instantly spoiled.

And after everything we have seen in these forums, and I've seen for myself in the 'breifest' of looks on reddit... frankly how dare you suggest (because i know you are not clueless Jeeqbit) that that is not the the stance with which those FT discords are ubiquitous. How dare you suggest that is not exactly what it's happening. We even have a screenshot of it Jeeq.

Ok I'm really slow to learn, I want to believe the best of people but now i know your just being manipulate too, if asking nicely doesn't work, then you try 'alternative facts'

Honestly, here I am just suprised that I'm surprised yet again. To be blunt I thought you were better than me, but it's have to do mental gymnastics to convince myself I'd try and BS someone that way.

I now just think you're not beyond (real cunning) trolling either. (Not the bombastic stuff Alen does)

If your a discord and your trying to keep people out just because they are not in your discord... That is the best fing description of a 'CARTEL'.

Just look it up Jeeqbit. Just look it up. I'm gonna assume you're not being so insulting as to think I'll accept that as long as I can join the discord, that that's sufficient, and keeping me out of the instance because I've never even heard of their discord or im not in it is now ok. I don't want to know if that's the case.

Fin ell. So disappointed after all those great discussions about Lucky Bancho data.
Maybe everyone just gets pissed off and petty, eventually and that includes you too. If so to be fair I'm amazed you've lasted this long. You had come across as a true saint of infinite patience.
