SE stop doing the "norm"

[Gramul]

I'm surprised so many of you have apparently obtained a time machine to fully understand and experience the game to its fullest to be putting out such highly informative and indicative opinions on the exact nature of this game against others. Please do give me the number of the manufacturer.

Never heard that one before. Points for being so original. A time machine, how clever. he he ho ho ha ha.

I'm only feeding on the information they gave us. The information that was supposed to excite me.

I think I'm smart enough to understand the scope of the concepts they provided. But like I said, I'm willing to try it out first.

Such as all the beat-the-dead-horse arguments around here are so original as well?

The rest of the post doesn't target you, Gramul, but I just had to retort against that statement.

At least provide some manner of perspective and evidence instead of all the 'I want...I need...I'm a veteran so I'm entitled...' attitude that is beginning to ripen around these forums.

Am I concerned about ARR? Yes, of course. But do I find the need to express every whinge about what I may find will ruin my experience, even before I've had such that experience? Do I find the need to know every last detail of the game before it comes out, down to how many polygons the grass is made of? Do I find the need to exaggerate common rumours and assumptions and use them as 'facts'?

I may be a rookie when it comes to MMOs, but I have friends interested in FFXIV - some are following ARR news because -gasp- they are actually hooked in by the information! About how different ARR sounds to their current MMOs! Accordingly, the reason for their excitement is because they feel like they've been hit with a lot of information during the past recent times; they noted the transparency of the details for FFXIV being far beyond what their other MMOs were before release.

Perspective, people. Just because we're been playing and gaining information progressively doesn't mean people who just discovered it won't - there's a major difference between the perspective of current players viewing a reconstruction on a daily basis compared to outside strangers who are only now noticing the new framework of the structure.
