I was a bit late to the HW party because I like to take my time, and when I got to Bismarck Story Mode, all the good and decent people had finished it already. It took me several days of tries to finally clear it because everyone was sucking so badly at it.
I've been thinking about this for a while with everyone calling me a White Knight x)
I like to call them Dark Knights in my mind, just because it's more fun that way in a Final Fantasy game
I agree with most things you said, but what is wrong with the highlighted part? xD
That's actually a good thing!
So far I have seen a lot more insults towards anyone defending SE, the relic quests or any other thing people think of as problematic, but I admit that my view might be jaded since I got name-called so much for this thread, but of course didn't keep every person in mind who resorted to name-calling the "opposing" side. I did see some insults though and thought how that is not helpful in any way either.
Personally, I don't think I ever stepped that low; I never went on to insult someone as childish, stupid, needy or any of that. What I DID call out was their behaviour. Something is wrong with people's communication if all they can do is to dramatically scream "Haaaahaaa, you're not getting any more money from me, I hate you SE!" and expect people to understand that what they are trying to communicate is "I'm really unhappy with how this relic quest works, and here is a breakdown of what I think is wrong with it". Because that's what happened on patch day when I made this thread. The discussion has since long calmed down; and I see well-voiced concerns being shared, which is totally fine. If you read my original post, you'll notice that I said I actually agree with some things. What I do not agree with is that we need 5 threads per person to scream "I HATE THIS" in, as if everyone needed their own personal little rage stage. Because that's what was happening, and it was pretty much anything but productive.
