LETTER TO DIRECTOR (Please Read)

[Chione]

A bunch of asinine assumptions about how people play the game sprinkled with personal attacks and embarrassing attempts at insults.

Oh my. Hit a nerve did I? Such hostility.

I'm not going to respond to everything separately again as there's no point. All of your complaints stem from the same general thing; it seems the real root of your problem with XIV is that people can play their characters however they want. And for whatever reason, it just seriously bothers you.

Is it because you assume that with this freedom everyone will play the same way? It just isn't so. To say differently is baseless and arrogant. I already prove your 'everyone will level everything' argument wrong because I'm not going to level jobs I don't feel fit my character. If you don't believe me, check. PUG and ARC remain untouched on Chione.

But even if I'm the only person in this whole game who isn't going to level every job, why does it bother you so badly that you'd rather them bring XI's restrictions into this game?

Why does it bother you so much how other people might or might not play their characters? Why is it any harm to you that you see some rank 5 person in rank 45 gear? What harm to you if the other guy has the same skills learned and equipped as you do? Can you not play the game your way and allow them theirs?

lol, this coming from the person who, practically, spit in my face with every pound to the keyboard. Need examples of the condescending, dismissive, patronizing, presumptuous instances? Ok, if you insist:

Well, lets start with the opening. Here's how you summed up my entire rebuttal:

A bunch of asinine assumptions about how people play the game sprinkled with personal attacks and embarrassing attempts at insults.

Let's take a look at your initial response to my friendly, generic post.

Assumptions:

Oh my. So you're one of them. The kind of player that usually ended up getting D2'd in our parties... and woe when one of you guys ended up being a party leader. It was such a chore having to disband around and reform while you went afk again.

It seems your biggest fear is that the guy wearing a spear like you has an identical action bar as well.

It sounds like you are disappointed by the game not living up to your own false preconceptions

Personal attacks and embarrassing attempts at insults:

Damn selfish of you, sir.

Yet you feel it doesn't promote uniqueness? Perhaps the word doesn't mean what you think it means. :|

You must have been playing FFXI in a parallel dimension.

And yet your solution is that they should adopt a system that would guarantee that to be the case. I fail to see the logic here.

Why are people so hypocritical? There was no need to insult me. I was making fair, objective suggestions, and you dismissed them all because I mentioned the "taboo title," "that of which we do not speak!" ~~~~Final Fantasy XI~~~~

If that's really why you think I dismissed them, I implore you to read my posts again. There's nothing taboo or wrong with FFXI. I like it very much. That is why I still play it.

lol, sorry Chione, You set me off again with that opening, and I completely disregarded your, extremely valid, points. Why am I upset about all that? Because it makes the game less fun, not just for me, but for plenty of other ppl as well. I don't see how you could ignore all the points I made. You just talked about how much you hated seeing ppl in the same exact equipment yourself. So, why would you promote a system that allows ppl even more of an opportunity to flood your screen w/ the "best armor available." It's like going to school....everyone is wearing the same uniforms. IT IS BORING. Why is that so hard to understand. It's awful. It sucks. I can't stand it. It makes me want to go back to XI, but I can't because they released this stupid game, and ruined XI by completely undermining the sub job system -go watch the Hitler Videos lol PLZ They're super funny, and they get some of my points across. I'll post the links to the one's that apply.
