Confessions of a Toxic Elitist

[Miste]

Do you remember the video I posted when I asked for feedback and while the forum feedback was kinda neutral-postive, the comments I received on youtube were not, and then apparently someone took it to 4ch and downvote bombed it some more.

Hm...the only one I kind of remember was I think you posted an Antitower video? That one? I only recall that one...likely because I tried to help you there as well showing a different perspective of me doing the same dungeon, just one pull, and explained there are different things you can cast at different times that benefit the party more than being a bit overly cautious with healing or overhealing.

I didn't know people did that on youtube since if it was that video I only looked at it once likely very close to when you posted it and never saved the link or saw it again.

There are always gonna be jerks out there who critique people in the absolute wrong way IE: rude insults etc...it happens no matter what..and even if there were no parsers these types of people would still exist and just find other things to use to be insulting.

Not everyone is a jerk though and there are plenty of people who are considered "good" at the game who are generally nice people and also willing to help others with their jobs/roles and content. I know plenty just on my server alone (and even more on my alt's server on Aether data center), which might surprise you to hear since I know you mentioned you don't like our server in the past and I also recall I said to you back then that you are free to contact me if you need help with anything.

You didn't ask for feedback. You posted that video claiming this was how healers were supposed to be played; arguing against DPSing. People responded critically because of that. You did yourself no favours getting into arguments about endgame healing while having a level 51 WHM as your highest healer at the time.

Regardless, it's Youtube. The comment section is a cesspool on a number of videos. Parsers don't make people jerks. They already were to begin with.

I posted it then because some of you on the forum wouldn't believe me (pre stormblood) . I knew it was not the best run ever but that was also a pretty much blind run. I don't see people out on our server to forum static/fc with because I know it's the trolls official server.

You didn't ask for feedback.

Yes I did, or I would not have posted it. I was not looking for "you should play my way" but "this is how I've been playing thus far (without help)", and it was also two weeks before SB, so it's NOT relevant now, regardless if I was right or not. But that lily system works worked fine with my previous strategy at 4.0 release, but when they got rid of Cleric Stance, that made other strategies more viable, which I use Assize more than I use any of the other Lily stuff when it's available.

But let's not keep derailing this. A small handful of people are responsible for all the hand-wringing in and outside the game, and they are fully aware they are being jerks. If the OP isn't being a jerk to players, then they should not be getting depressed BY the game. If you play any content in this game, and your response to a wipe is "you suck", then you're the jerk who needs to leave.

To be fair, you did go around telling people they shouldn't use regen because ''too much aggro''.

I really don't think that is true....

I mean I've played on Excalibur since launch and I've met so many nice players on our server over the last 4 years.

If our server is all trolls I feel like I would have seen more of it. There will be some jerks on every server of course, but plenty of nice people as well.

I know I can do better then I do when I care. but unless I'm doing savage content. most of the time I have netflix up on one screen and a website up on my laptop.
I don't care what anyone else things when I want to play my best I can and keep up with most other playing the same job. I got a dummy on at my house, when I get a job to 70 I work on my rotations then go to instanced dummy for current savage content. My sure I can hit the DPS check.

I may Warrior, I read my tooltips, and changed my rotations pop some food and now I can kill the savage dummy on my warrior without issues. That was 3 weeks ago.

My hubby doesn't do savage content. He cares less then I do... in turn I only do Savage content with FC while he is at work.

Do you really love me that much that you are just looking for excuses to get my attention?

Seeing as you two have been bickering for months, I have come to the conclusion...

That there is some repressed romantic tension between you, and it must be shared to the worlds in my screenplay that I'm going to write and have performers for. The forbidden romance between a Miqo'te and a ...Lala/Au Ra (I'm not too sure what Akane actually is right now) will make for the best FATE event ever, with cross-world functionality. Coming soon to Balmu - oh wait, that server is locked - Coming soon to Mateus. Hiring performers now. RSVP required.

Both akaneakki and Bourne_Endeavor have been doing the same thing, and this all started 9 months ago, both in threads about WHM feedback, before SB launched. So suffice it to say they seem to be obsessed with me, or they wouldn't keep resorting to this childish game of "but you said something I believe to be stupid before, so you must be stupid all the time" red-herring bully shtick.

The irony here is staggering. Not more than six posts ago you say, "let's not keep derailing this" yet here you are taking potshots. I only mentioned the WHM stuff because it related to your nonsense regarding parsers, i.e., you talk about things you have little to no understanding of. I suppose it's childish bringing up a reference point? You're essentially asking for a safe space where you get to say whatever you fancy and not be called out when it's wrong. Even in the aforementioned post, you're still defending how you played as "my playstyle." Hard to break it to you but overhealing and standing around waiting isn't a playstyle.

My responding to you comes solely because, well, you say silly things. Anyone else doing the same I will comment on. You aren't special.
