Why is game entitlement a thing and people think they deserve every item in the game?

There it is. I knew someone would come in here with the Millennial and Participation Award crap eventually.

Maybe some people just don't care about process and just want the result of it?

Sure. That's up to them I guess? If they are of that opinion then why can't I be of my own? Never have I once said it was wrong, but it leaves people who otherwise can't afford the clears with little motivation. So lets give it to them.

and that's you. Everyone isn't you. The moment you realize that is the moment you can pull the pretentious stick out.

Why? Is my stick making yours jealous or something? Also. That's not my stick. Not so sure why you are resorting belittling me when I've not done any of the sort. Your head firmly somewhere else or are you just selective with your reading?

- My take -

There is no issue with buying clears or ponies/birds. If anyone believes this is entitlement or scrub tenancies, you have basically called out the whole market board/crafter community. If you bought anything with your gil, you are entitled. This take is ridiculous. You earned your gil, use it before you lose it. Also, generalizing everyone as gil buyers is also wrong. Generalizing any player, for any reason, is simple minded and destructive.

XOXO

Never said it was an issue. I stated that it seems to be the affairs of current situations. That's just sad in my opinion. Much like others have their own. So lets leave it at that.

So basically nothing is earned in this game juding by everyone's response I always thought effort mattered. I'm sure glad life doesn't work like this and those who work actually get rewarded for their efforts

Sorry but the world is heading in that direction also.

I liked it better when people didn't judge me based on how I spend my free time.


I guess by this logic, people who farmed A1S didn't "earn" their anima...

I'm with you 100% on that. Most of the people here seem to read only what they want to read and be little those who are only expressing their perspective. They say you ignorance is a bliss but man never thought id be this bad.

Random "School of Hard Knocks" rubbish

Really?

No seriously...REALLY?!

lol

I can list off plenty of problems both on a macro and micro scale that past generations have had as well, that aren't even speculation.

My dad for example is a Gen-Xer. A time in society where bullying was rampant in schools and actually at least in his case, encouraged at times by adults. School of hard knocks, if you don't stand up to a bully you deserve to get bullied. He stood up to them plenty, eventually they stopped, but he still lives with the mental scars it left on him to this day. And the people who bullied him (one of his own brothers in particular) still bullies people in his own way and thinks he can get away with it, a result I imagine of society's culture at the time making him grow up thinking it's acceptable behavior.

By comparison, I think the supposed millennial culture is doing pretty great.

I've read most of this forum discussion. It isn't so much a discussion as I feel it's an entity trying to justify selling content to people who otherwise can't clear it on their own. I mean sure you're providing a service, but if you're truly motivated, you'll do what we do and put the party together and bash your head in until you get it.

I should just get my FC to start selling runs for cookies now. Literally. Yo! You a Culinary artisan? Make Almond Cookies? Make me one and lets get you a clear.

I agree with the title of your thread. But I think you give bad examples that don't fully support your point. Buying clears takes a lot of gil. I mean a lot of gil. This isn't the type of gil where you can do leves, dailies, and challenge log for a week and then send a tell to your server's raid FC asking to buy a clear. It takes a lot of time and effort to accumulate that amount of money. You sound as if someone who worked hard at becoming a server tycoon isn't a skilled player in some way and doesn't deserve a desired item that they can pay for.

As for titles and synced content that becomes outdated, there are reasons for it. It gives incentive to go work on outdated content and experience everything the game has to offer. Sure, you get the rewards eventually but they are vastly outdated. Look at it in a real life perspective. People who own the newest gadgets or toys get to experience everything new first hand and are the front-runners. They are the first to get everything and are constantly on the move for the next big thing. They are "hip"(sters :P) if you wanna call it that. Eventually, all older or dated things experience a price drop for the "less hip" people to experience. Video games, phones, gadgets, cars, you name it.
