Prepared to answer the call? (Long)

When you spend 2 paragraphs on a topic, especially when it's the first thing you talk about...Expect someone to reply to it.

SE needs to tweak the system instead of you asking us to bend our habbits to a system we find needlessly cumbersome.


Was that a good enough 3rd post for you?

You blast me for mentioning entitlement and then make the above statement about what SE needs to do for you?
No one uses the search function on Kashuan. And I had stated that if we do feel comfortable shouting instead of using it, thats fine too. I understand that we do the things that we do in the game because they work best. But much of that developed along side the tools we had at our disposal. We didnt have the player search function up until this past month, so in response to that, we developed our own system. I totally understand that, just as I understand that whats happeneing on my server may not be happening everywhere, but it is my only frame of reference. I am not asking anyone here to change what works for them, rather, the point of the post, which you have chosen to miss in favor of semantics, is to remind us to be mindful in the coming months of what and how we do things as a community because it will shape said community in the future for good or for ill. If shouting becomes the favored method of party searching, so be it. But in that particular regard we have options now we didn't have before, and this frees us to make choices.

And no, none of your posts have been good because I was asking to hear hopes and ideas about the future, not have some F@%^tard pick two sentences out of a long post and have it become the entire topic of discussion. I mention entitlement one time in an otherwise long post, one which has me state IN THE POST the purpose and intent behind what I hope to discuss, and here you are, like the one relative on xmas everyone was hoping wouldn't show, asking why dinner isn't ready yet.

The last part of my post was just how I intend to set an example in my own way. I certainly don't claim it to be the best way or the only way. And while I hope to inspire people to do the same, I don't EXPECT them too. Trying to be positive in anyway seems to be an impossibily in this community, and I am begining to understand why positive threads are so rare on the English forums now.

Why so mad?

I guess you don't like the fact that your entire post back-fired on you. Nobody is going to post their "Ideas for the future" here because that's what the ENTIRE board is for. Take a look at the first page of threads everyone has a thread about their ideas for the future and hopes, dreams, hates, dislikes and the such. Your post is redundant.

To be more on-topic of your post about the player search. If the player search was that amazing and intuitive that it was a better option than just plain shouting...people would start using it. Hell if everyone used the player search it would be a good system but even if it was in the game from day 1 the same problems would still exist.

People need to actually express their intent to do ____ content, 9/10 times people don't usually go that far to say they are ready and willing to do someting. Hell most my Stronghold parties and Ifrit runs come from my interest being piqued when I see a group almost ready to go and shouting for one of my jobs.

"Reminding us that what we do effects the future of the game"

I guess I might as well start telling people that breathing is what keeps them alive, the point is so obvious and known to all that it doesn't even need to be stated. Of course how we play the game will change how the community grows...guh your getting bent out of shape because you are grasping at a reason to even have a thread like this.

I hope and dream people will stop making redundant threads.

You state that the purpose the forums as a whole is to offer a place players can offer hopes and dreams openly. Yet when I go to use a portion of it to do just that for myself, here you are. It could easily be said that 99% of all the posts on here, including the ones you are making to me right now, are redundant, so don't go excusing yourself from the same boat everyone is on together. If you really hope and dream for less redundant threads than stop posting.
And one jackass responding to my op isn't enough to ruin it, its still there and strong, you only highlight the state at which I believe these forums are in now. It doesn't make me mad Jynx. If anything, you make me feel sad. That you would hope to jump in here with that intent in mind speaks volumes about what type of person you are. And in that respect I believe you have accomplished what you set out to do, so see your way out, I am done responding to you.

[Jynx]

I am done responding to you.

Good enough, my posts are redundant in a redundant thread. I never said I wasn't in the same boat but this thread doesn't serve much of a pupose that hasn't been stated allready.

You call me out for apparantly "Missing the point" and when I respond to the "Missed point" you skip over it because you don't seem to agree. It's lovely that people who don't align with your ideals are "Jackasses" I responded to your post and your all upset or "Not upset but sad" about it.

But I would like to know.

"Speaks volumes for the type of person you are" What kind of person would that be exactly? The kind of person who doesn't think the community needs someone telling them (Your doing it wrong guys! Exemplify as a ambasador of good in the world!)

If you think I'm something else I'd love to hear it.

Other than that I await for this amazing and innovative thread to garner tons of imformation.

*edit*
It's funny to note that without our little altercation here this thread would have allready fallen off the front page. So if anything my "Jackassery" has allowed more people to see your message than it would have without it.

Just something to think about. Any conversation in a thread is in a way "Good" for it.
