The Direction of FFXIV

[Peregrine]

Peregrine as radical as I think you are taking this I can understand where your coming from. I just don't see the icon serious enough to complain about it. I feel adding AA holds more ground for an argument then some icon that will only stop people from going to wiki. You throw your opinions around almost trying to force them on people while bashing those that don't agree. That is what I disagree with but not enough to dispute it which is why I didn't quote you(or any others against the icon) in the other post.

They're a threat to the game. You have to aggressively beat them back into paying attention harder than they aggresively complain that they shouldn't have to.

Ok peregrine, this is too much. So much i would insult you.
Start over with your hate-elitism factory, continue with your trollling or whatever you doing, just shut up sometime

Yeah, because that example is so relevant. Heaven forbid two ficitonal characters make a mistake in order to add conflict to a novel. Do you actually think that discredits anything I said, or do you just like wasting your time typing out pointless statements?

the /trollface is there for a thing. Imagine what. also, for the same thing, even bringing inside a fictional character from a book in a videogame discussion is trivial

My point was about adventure and how an aggro indicator detracts from that. Lord of the Rings was an example of adventuring.

You threw an irrelevant analogy of the books back at me as though it implied anything, and it didn't. It just came across as being purely irrelevant.

Your /trollface was the only thing relevant about your post, illustrating the type of person who obviously wrote it.

Thx for the insult.
Anyhow, you're compairing apples to oranges. It's quite oblius in a book fiction you can't see a dialog like "hold on, let me check if that dude is hostyle on my hud", since it need to be a plausible environement.
the same can't be for videogames, since you need to think how blend together a plausible environement WITH friendly commands, balance battle content, offering always better fights and quests.
Now, since FF XI, mmorpgs are more evoluted, and whatever you like it or no, aggro indicators near the name is a standard the facto. Deal with it.
And remember, if you're aiming to the wides audience you can have, a stupid icon is the lowest of your priorities. If SE would do another elitist mmorpg, then they could just redo ffxi with next gen graphic without abyssea, or else an hard-kicking game like could be demon's soul. but then don't expect huge profits
