Current Problem Parallels

[BrokentoothMarch]

The current issues with the dev team (IMHO) are basically a result of "Suffering from Success"

A Realm Reborn (2.0) happened because 1.0 was such an utter failure. They had to dig deep and figure out how to fix things.

Now, with all the success they have had, it has went to their heads and they've developed an Ego. They feel they can do no wrong, WE as the consumer base, are the ones who are wrong.

The game is in Cruise Control now because it's Square Enix's cash cow. Nothing really innovative. When they have tried, it's been mostly a disaster (the 4 attempts at Diadem Content, Eureka a disaster on launch). Job design is all over the place.

Essentially this. Deceptus, once again, expressing my feelings in a far more eloquent way than I can manage.

Except he has his gut reaction and then comes back a little while later saying that even if he doesn't believe us, the investigation is worth doing for the sake of their star. There is no logical reason to believe that the rest of the Convocation, even if skeptical at first as they most likely would be, would be opposed to looking into it more deeply just to be absolutely sure they weren't putting their world at risk by being stubborn. And there would have been plenty of information for them to review in Elpis, including witnessing Hermes' breakdown.

Because of that I said that I believe in the power of the ancestors, of being able to see, through the Hydaelin's tracker (at least), that she would be right. Eu também acho que é impossível que o sistema de limpeza mental não registre quando foi usado.

I just have no words. You're pretending to be an expert on a country based on something actually niche in that country. Sumo's are not that big a thing, simply something that was exported at the earliest to the rest of the world. By your logic, everyone would be in the right to think America is still wahoo cowboys herding sheep and shooting natives in 2022. You're an actual lunatic and dangerously close to that thing that you're accusing me of.

In fact, I'll say it: You're pretty dangerously racist assuming an entire people's outlook on something based on their niche media. That is IMMENSELY messed up and I would hope you did the last October event because that clown makeup would suit you great right about now.

Isn't that what you're doing?

Assuming that because China and Mongolia has a major issue with overweight people that by extension, Japan also does?

So I guess those Buddhists that equate for 67% of the practiced religion in Japan must really hate themselves too because of multiple places of worship holding the statue of Buddha in his larger framed reincarnation eh?

yes, it's the majority religion in Japan so it's safe to say that that's hardly a niche thing.

So again, the person that assumes an entire continental region of Asia are "Aggressively Fat haters" when one of the countries has a long storied culture (which you claim is niche) and Religion (which is majority) states otherwise because of a google translation, is absolutely the Racist in the room.

Because you're tarring an ENTIRE CONTINENTAL POPULATION with that brush.

Do I think all Americans are ignorant? Nope
Do I think all Japanese are Buddhist and incapable of discrimination in the way that is being claimed? Nope
By the same measure, do I think all Chinese are discriminant? Absolutely not and some of them live in fear of not being able to speak their mind for fear of reprisals.

But there's enough evidence out there to say Majority on all counts.

Please, if you're going to throw the R word around

1. Understand what it is
2. Don't throw it when you're doing something that is heavily guilty of it
3. Actually get yourself some facts first, so you can arm yourself with a bit of knowledge instead of "some guy on some site said with absolutely no credibility"

Heck, I could have said something mean about Balmung and you being a Lala on that server, but why would I? Because that would be lowering myself to your level and it would not only be a unfounded accusation, but incredibly wrong to do so.

Edit: To add, if this was Twitter, I'd give someone exactly 5 minutes before they said something pertaining to you being a Lala on Balmung and I'd absolutely drag them for it too. Because I call BS out wherever I see it, doesn't matter what. Because there's way too much of this jump to conclusions, accuse before factual evidence garbage going on these days and if I'm a troll for calling that out, then I'll happily be called a troll.

OPs point proves itself with the contents of this thread.

Uh….correct me if i’m wrong but you need to do savage for a month or two to get fully geared because it’s gated. Same with tomestones, and alli raids etc. Also…it has little to no midcore content which is what i’m getting at

In FFXIV if you defeat a boss, you get guaranteed loot. In WoW you have 20% chance of getting anything and 5% chance of getting the one thing you want per boss. You need to spend 3 months farming the same boss for a 50% chance to get one BIS.

Except for things like alli raids, its not even guaranteed if you get anything for your role. and in things like savage pf, youre not guaranteed to get loot every single clear, which means needing to resort to multiple clears just to try and get a single piece of loot.

The drop-rates for Alliance raids is an issue, but at the same time the gear pieces from it isn't BIS. It's catchup.

And the savage drops do follow a similar issue to wow mythic raids, but at least in FFXIV players that have done savage can help others without locking themselves out from even participating in the content for a week.

You cant technically help others if youve already cleared and youre trying to fill in for someone to get their weekly clear though, as you miss out on chests. I dont really care about WoW, im not sure why its constantly brought up when people offer criticism.Its as if you believe its either 14's way, wow's way, or the highway.

That blog post being posted on October 19 2014 and this youtube video being posted on the 29th leads me to believe it's a fair assumption these are of the same cosplay contest, though I forget how far apart fan fests used to be so I can keep looking.

Make of it what you will.
