Regardless of how my arguments had been coming off, or how some may have started to feel about some of the things I may or may not have been saying, I don't see why somebody has to hack into my accounts and threaten me through my own email. I don't know who did this, but your point is made. Please stop hacking into my stuff.

Oh no a mysterious hacker! Gee that's pretty convenient~

Wouldn't it be easier to admit you were incorrect about a few things instead of trying to paint the people who disagreed with you as uber hackers who have nothing better to do than brute force a OF account and change a post?

People can disagree with me all they want - just as I disagree with some of the things said in response. It's an agree to disagree moment for me. I'm not painting anybody as a hacker. I'm dealing with that away from the forums. That being said, I stand by my word. I don't feel I'm incorrect about what I originally said. Obviously, you are not going to change your stance on it either, so...this is just one of those threads that really will not go anywhere at this point.

I have thoroughly read all of your posts and I'm going to reply with all due respect.

I will start by saying that I disagree with your last sentence, mainly because none of your posts seemed to be open to debate, there's a moment in my opinion where there's a compromise to be made if you're willing to further delve into discussion.

For example, if you had explained to me why you would think World Quest taken from WoW were bad from a design perspective, I would've been more willingly to participate into your subject at hand.

With that said, the only way that your own thread will go somewhere or not is actually into your hands.

I for one think that FFXIV and WoW are in mutually beneficial relationship .

respectful

Maybe in the future, when I’m not quite as agitated and if this thread is still active when I come back to the forums. Admittedly, I got extremely heated in the moment and yeah, I left no room for debate. If you are willing to revisit this, then yes, I will be more open to debate. Got account issues to deal with for the time being, and then there’s my own admitted single-mindedness when it comes to certain stances that I take.

But thank you for the respectful post. I don’t quite deserve it, but you have my thanks nonetheless.

Quit trying to turn this into WoW. What WoW is doing made them successful…it’s not gonna make FFXIV successful…in fact, it’s probably gonna piss off some players.

Are you kidding. The developer openly admitted that 2.x was a WoW clone, or as close as you can get while still being a FF game.

Gear progression is stuck in the late Wrath of the Lich King/Cataclysm model. My favourite model btw.

They made multiple mode raids and will have/have? a super-hard version. Three difficulties.

Jobs are now their own little class, a bit like Blizzard have done with specs.

We had a prune in SB and WoW had one for a couple of expansions.

These are just some things I can think of quickly.

FF14 is more WoW like than WoW at times.

Suggesting that we take a look at a game that does something well as an example is not asking for that game to be duplicated.

If you had to explain to someone what a house should look like, showing them a picture of a well built house is a very easy way to avoid 10 pages of description. You're not asking for THAT house to be built, but it's a good example of how 4 walls, a floor and a roof come together to make a house.

People will use examples of things they perceive as well built and a lot of us have played WoW.

So you know both games are basically grind out gear, glam it up, and repeat right?
