Discussing your 'unpopular' opinions

[RiyahArp]

Yeah, I'm sure you also loved your burst randomly getting half its damage because you were in melee range, and 3.0 had ranged job damage fall off. Or starting out and having reduced potency and longer cooldown until you ranked up to get your kit not sucking. I don't miss that time at all; so many useless abilities, and pvp didn't really vary any in tactics from now.

Back to unpopular opinons.

Often closed the gap, even as a ranged, and not just for the damage.
Forgot to reset PvP points after switching to healer a few times; still blew people up with no problem.
Switched GCs and had to grind back up, again not having full PvP points; still blew people up with no problem.
*laughs in lack of turrets and oGCDs, half of which made up MCH burst*

No wait, that last one isn't funny.

Begone with you and your progressive-thinking witchcraft! *throws salt*

Extremely unpopular opinion, read at your own risk:

I hate this obsession with Glamour.

There, I said it.

I hate the fact that SE spends a lot of resources on Glamour, I hate the fact that most questions asked during Live Letters or during FanFests are about glamour.

I hate that this game is becoming a Final Fantasy version of a dress up game, just because some people need an audience to tell them their Glamour is awesome.

Now a little glamour is fine, especially if you don't like the look of your current set or something, but it seems that more and more people play this game just for the Glamour, and I don't like where it's generally going.

Because I'll give you another unpopular opinion (more of an observation really): people obsessed with glamour are usually bad players.



Man... that felt good.

In all seriousness, thanks. I needed that today.

Unpopular? Ok!

I love housing.

PvP was better before they dumbed it down. I had a ball getting my Garo mounts and gear. Now I won't go near it.

Gender locks aren't going anywhere because fantasias are a thing.

And lastly....
If SE really wanted a male bunny suit, it would already be in the game.

people must suck on aether then, because any decent healer could handle a MCH in 3.0. Come to primal some time, we'll show you how to play.

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

Any decent healer could handle them on Aether as well. Still blew up plenty a healer back then and enjoyed it (in that way).

Also, already on Primal, Lamia actually, and still not terribly impressed! \o/

I like how the thread turned from posting "unpopular" opinions into just bashing people who hold different opinions.

But on topic: my "unpopular" opinion? People need to stop shoving meta down the general player population's throats. Unless you are literally doing world prog/world first/speed kills, meta will never matter and usually the people harping on having "correct" parties are the worst in the parties they form

Then you can say hi and we can go to the duel center sometimes, cause that's my home server. I don't see people there much, so I'm guessing you aren't here often.

edit..i got distracted from my opinion, again.

..honestly, I feel they should consider sunsetting this game early and making a new one. Just take the lessons they've learned, and design a new game appropriate for their level of staff and content creation. don't think I'd blame them if they did.
