Shell FCs are a bigger problem than we think...

[Big_Bap]

What title was more appropriate? If you think an ambiguous title like "A question from North American player" would grab people's attention to look in the thread, then what can I say?

Apologies for using a vague title I guess? It sure was accurate though!

And also, do you not agree that a question phrased like "Why does it seem like JP players favor small FCs?" will not give you any response like "Yes, we disagree with <someone>" or "Yup, I'm all for deleting small FCs".
They will just explain why they like small FCs and ask why an EN player is bringing this topic to them.
But you phrased it so that it looks like the JP players all agreed with you and disagreed with this someone.

I disagree. People here will read a thread and share whatever feelings they have about a subject. I'm sorry if that is not how it's done on your side of the forums. If you want a good example, go over to the general section and look for threads about adding female Hrothgars or male Vieras. And yes, the comments, minus yours to a certain degree, all disagree with the stance of Almagnus.

And even phrased it as if I took sides with you.

Oh, and thanks for the name calling, too.

I asked you why you claimed to be neutral when you have stated that you disagree with deleting small FCs. I am very aware that things might be lost in the translation, but you have refused to clarify (if there is something to clarify that is). Also, you are a cat boi... it's not an insult.

Then what did you go over there for???
That's the point. You already have your answers, you did not need to go to them.
It just looks like you were not interested in their answers, just to use them for your argument.
And that's the point that I'm in disagreement with, Big_Bap.

I know you prefer small FCs, I didn't know exactly why. As it turns out, it is for the same reasons why some NA or EU players also prefer smaller FCs.

I have replied to every comment. How can you say I am not interested? This is getting quite repetitive, but where have I used any of those replies to support an argument?

As for the undersized FC deletion, I've already stated that deleting JP FCs won't increase US/EU housing.
There is no post about under-sized FC being a problem in JP.

You have stated that you don't support deleting JP FCs. Was the nuance lost in the translation? Have you forgotten about that last part? You tell me!

It's just not an issue either way at the moment because the JP servers are not as stressed with over-population at the moment.
You shouldn't drag JP into this.

Thank you for saying the same thing I've said at the beginning of this thread. Also thank you for burying Almagnus as they chose to drag the Japanese players into this.

Like I have been saying for a long time, the shell FCs need to be dealt with because they are exacerbating the housing problem. Of all the servers, Chocobo is the poster child for this problem with 891 of the 2613 FC houses belonging to a shell FC.

Why don't you go and ask the JP players why they are playing the way they are? It's really funny how you are projecting your own definition of acceptability on a group of players you don't even interact with.

You say "Shell FCs are a bigger problem than we think...".

First off, who's "we"?

You?
The players who post on this forum?
If so, why do you include Japanese players who don't even write in this section? I can't help but notice you made no effort in asking them why they favor smaller FCs. Or better yet, find me extensive posts from Japanese players who show as much disdain for small FCs as you do. The very reason why you can filter servers by Data Center or Region is to provide fair comparisons. You chose to bundle everything together to make it seem like this is a bigger problem than it actually is, when it's hardly a problem in the first place.
