More mount types in ARR please

I'd rather them focus on making Chocobos more unique and robust instead of tossing a saddle on every toothed monster in the game.

OMGAZ GUYS!~ I RIDE AHRIMAN!

Well we do get a magitek mount that we ride by its neck - would have preferred being inside it. . . but maybe they didnt want to insinuate that we could use it for fighting.

SE won't even have to insinuate... people will start demanding it days after it's implemented anyway. Not asking. Not suggesting. Demanding. How do I know? Because I read these forums.

It goes something like this...

"Well, -such and such- MMO*** lets you fight on your mount, so there's no excuse XIV can't, unless SE is lazy, because it's not that hard. They could totally do that in a week. Just add some new attack animations to the mounts and boom, mounted combat. No I'm not a game developer. No I don't know what goes into something like that. I just know these things for a fact, because I say so.

This is 2012/2013! It's a FACT that by 2013 all MMORPGs should have mounted combat! Well, okay, I made that up myself, literally as I typed it. But still, if I want it, then it follows logically that everyone else must want it too! And if they don't, they're a troll and need to GTFO. So, do it, SE! Implement mounted combat. If you don't, it means you hate your playerbase, don't care at all about what I.. err.. I mean we want! It means you want the game you just spent all that time and money developing - twice - to crash and burn!".

Hmm... that was a pretty good impression of the "entitled gamer", if I say so myself.


*** = Any MMO other than FFXI. FFXI is the only MMO you're not allowed to request, or even suggest a feature be implemented from. If you do, blood-pressures red-line and heads explode spontaneously all over monitors in a violent, hyper-emotional, knee-jerk reaction followed by the over-used and always irrational retort of "stop trying to turn this into XI!". After all, XIV had absolutely nothing in common with XI when it was first launched, and people want to keep it that way! Oh wait...

Lol Preypacer why do I always see you on all threads posting about how you are better than 99% of the people on these forums?
I didn't want to quote all of your text so ppl wouldn't make the mistake of reading it again. Can you please post a another post which would be a bit more full of yourself because I don't think you QUITE made it yet :P

1. You don't "always see me on all threads". That's called an exaggeration. This is my 622nd post since I registered about 16 months ago. That averages out to roughly 39 posts per month, or about 1.3 posts per day. If you're "always seeing me on every thread", then you should be asking yourself why you're imagining things. Maybe you're reading the same thread over and over?

2. I've never posted about how I'm better than 99% of the people on these forums. In fact, I've never posted that I'm better than anyone on these forums period, because I don't actually believe I'm better than anyone on these forums at all. I may disagree with some people here, or with how they present themselves or respond to others, but that wouldn't make me feel superior to them.

3. I have no desire to post showing how full of myself I am, because I'm not. I share my opinions and do my best to support them. I offer up "facts" only when I know they can be verified as such. If you have a problem with that, then that's something you need to deal with, and attacking me personally isn't the way to go about it.

My turn to ask a couple questions:
1. Why are you asking accusatory questions based on imaginary circumstances?
2. Why are you taking my post so personally that it would drive you to post and attack me the way you did? I was posting a bit of satire based on actual arguments and remarks I've seen on these forums many times, during my whole time being here. That's why I said "because I read these forums".

I didn't point you out specifically, so I'm not sure why you felt compelled to attack me for it. Did I hit a little too close to home, maybe? And no, me asking that does not mean I think I'm better than you.

Have to agree with Shanree as well, where the hell did Mamba's context come from?

Edit - Upon further review, (because work is literally this boring) seems like she must be incensed from the camp / atmos thread.

Mamba, even if you feel passionately about something like that, simply calling out another user is pretty low. It certainly doesn't add to any conversation and just detracts from your character as a whole.
