MSQ Needs Further Condensing

[Ammokkx]

I never saw anyone actually refute that.

Uh-huh.

I don't see what is wrong with that argument either. They are skipping filler, or what they consider filler. Are you just assuming they have a poor grasp on the story? I need examples, otherwise I'm just taking your word. I've been through all the story, and I can tell you right now, there is a lot of filler.

Read from this point on and you'll see why the person who I was talking about didn't have a clue as to what parts of the story are and are not filler.

If you want someone who actually bothered with the effort of research, here is a much better breakdown.

I spent 5 hours this morning making glams, what does your playtime before ShB have to do with anything? My (imaginary) friend also quit the game because of the grind.

This one is going to take a bit of time to digest.

I'm not bringing up mine or my friend (who is not imaginary, thanks) because we are more of an authority than you are. No, I'm bringing us up because I want to point out how little of an authority people's friends actually make. I have two examples of people who thoroughly enjoyed the story and keep/kept playing for it. My 65 days before ShB was not only spent on story, but also all optional raid content and beast tribes because I wanted to squeeze out every little bit of lore and storytelling this game has/had to offer. Am I extreme in that regard? Perhaps, but it illustrates that people like me exist, and my experiences aren't more or less valid than those who couldn't care either.

I even outlined this in a previous post, where I use similar examples, to explain this very point.

I don't see what is wrong with these arguments, frankly.

All I'm going to say is that just because you are personally blind to the discussion that has already gone on in this thread, doesn't mean that discussion hasn't happened. Just because you may think your own arguments are rock solid, doesn't mean the arguments of others have been as well.
