NA FFXIV Community Reps Live on State of the Realm

[Akuryu]

When you get around to beating a4s you can gripe about how your strategy is better.

His strategy is the same as everyone else's... watch all the clear videos of the world first/second/thrid/etc teams, and do whatever they did. He just makes a video afterwards.

Happy-haters are merely hipsters with mainstream phobia.

No, they're not. They're people who don't feel the need to fawn over internet 'celebrities'. Something being 'mainstream' doesn't mean it's necessarily good but then again I'm not sure how a guy making videos for FFXIV is 'mainstream' in the first place.

So, what did they say about the state of the Realm?

That just furthers the point. What I said was in response to the guy saying that he didn't like how the method happy posts becomes the meta.

It becomes the meta because it works.

My point wasn't that he created the method himself. The point was don't complain that people want to use a strategy that works when you can't come up with anything better on your own.

I'm OG hipster and I won't support anything other people like. Indie or gtfo.

These folks only hang around here because Indie games totally suck.

Its cool. To each their own. I'll keep using Happy's guides to clear content and you can keep trolling the forums in your fedora and perscriptionless raybans.

Except a lot of the time, people stick to his 'plan' because they don't know any better. There are times in 2.0 where we had a different strategy, and people would just say "That's not the mr.happy strategy."

I actually gave him the benefit of the doubt - I made the statement that despite his best efforts to say that this isn't the only strategy, people treat his word/guides as gospel.

Further, if you want my other issues with him, it comes down to how much he seems to talk in his guides. While not usually a bad thing, it seems like he tries to overexplain and loses his general focus. His guides are good for getting a general idea, but the ones that are more concise - like Xeno or MTQ - are my preference.


and I've no idea why some people are so defensive over an internet personality. Why does his in/fame(y) affect you at all? People are allowed not to like someone. It does not make your or anyone elses appreciation of him any less valid.

Is there something about the balmung server that attracts particulary retarded people or something?

No different than any other server. Though throwing out baseless insults is easy - I don't feel the need to drop myself down to that. If you have a problem, state it clearly and you'll get a lot more respect.
