No More Cash Shop/Race/Superficial Body Feature Threads, Show Your Support

Simply a third-party thread in response to the viera threads, for those who wish dev time and resources would be spent on core elements like the battle engine, structural gameplay, etc.

Um.

Firstly, the cash threads are dying down. (Thank God.)

Secondly, you do realize there are entirely separate teams working on battle, system, and art, right? They aren't goimg to pull the lady off of making the boy bunny outfit for the Gold Saucer to tweak the math behind new mudra combinatiom timing to compensate server lag. That's not a modeler's job!

Someone doesn't know how dev teams work. They're called Dev TEAMS for a reason.

Credit cards are more fun than limited time PvP rewards

My credit card doesn't yell at me and call me all manner of things just because I made one single mistake.
My card doesn't look down on be because I'm not an überl33t pwnage killing machine that's done god knows what to others mothers.

You might see what I mean, the Raid community can be a little too elite for alot of people.

i mean, i know these horror stories exist but i've literally only come across someone like this once (and he was terrible anyway)

I'm not saying everyone act like the "common" gamer elite.
But I also know alot of people that shun away from specific contents because they have been treated badly and are now afraid to try again.

Making mistakes in games is not a life threatening situation and alot of people have to take a chill pill sometimes.
I know people don't wanna waste their time either. But learning through mistakes is one of the best, if not the best way to learn new things. In games and real life.
But some people wants you to know everything beforehand and never make a mistake.

Yeah.... I'm kinda ranting atm.



Anyway, back on topic.

I support the idea of no more "X" threads. But I also know that'll never happen because people are never satisfied (almost) unless everything fits their taste like a glove.
Not that it's wrong to voice ones belief. But I understand how others might find it nothing but anoying when several threads about the same topic pops up everywhere.

community rant

And this is why as a mentor I take it extremely seriously to be a voice of calm, a voice of reason, and a voice of insight. If anything goes wrong, I will calmly explain what went wrong and how to deal with it, and then give everyone a rallying cry of encouragement to say they can do it. But I won't get salty (or at least, I won't show it, sometimes it's like "WHAT!?" but I'm just like "Well flipping out at them won't solve anything even if it feels like I'm talking to a brick wall").

I beg to differ. If you over charge or even charge it and don't pay it will do a lot worse then call you names. Also if you don't own certain cards you cant do certain stuff (black platinum American express) lol

Stop using this as an excuse, ignore those types and move on. Get a group of nice people and play together, be more active and social. You know how much I get bullied online and how much crap I deal with...I ignore it and keep going, and always accomplish what I set out to do.

You can't rely on money to get you things in life this way, try raiding and doing stuff in game with actual friends and people that aren't jerks, it's a lot more enjoyable, I promise.
