    So, you gonna show us your parses then? Surely you have some and they're not hidden. Surely you wouldn't be a hypocrite and call someone out for their parses while not showing off your own.

    Using parses as some measure of the validity of a persons opinion is garbage behavior. It's even worse when you do so while not having your own.

    You guys have behaved just as poorly as you claim Vencio to.

    I mean there's always someone worse... like the lack of moderation by SE

    Four long months is an actual long time for SE to neglect actual Samurai Feedback, which is about around the same time how long we have been trolled by posters that genuinely do not care and openly admit in their posts with the intention to just rile up players.

    " And with lack of respect, opens doors to not be respectful in response. "

    If we truly want to validate Good Job Design, let the opinion come from a place of Experience. And if the opinion of a player has nothing to show? we can almost assume lack of Experience behind it.

    Look no further in several peoples posts where Zero points are made other then a TLDR of " suck it " posts to Samurai's.

    Nothing about Kaiten's interactions, or the Tenka Goken change, how it affected them in say Dungeons or Fates, how much slower they are doing it because that did hurt our AoE damage output and speed, the Auto Crit changes and how it affected their Savage raiding or Raiding in general. Or how 6.08 or 6.0 or 5.5 or any other patch they played in with comparisons in gameplay difference to 6.1. it's completely empty. There's also near 0 Samurai mains quoted as a validation to any of the posts to support any non-existing points the posters are making.

    Nothing but bashing for 4 months. And that's just on the Samurai topic, let alone what they do with other topics in other subsections.

    The only argument point brought forth by many posters like these have been
    • All Samurais should Shutup
    • It is better now cause its Dumber
    • Kaiten was just a button
    • Just take a horrible change and accept it
    • But you perform well
    • I am kissing Square's feet notice me Senpai

    If that's what these trolling posters Feedback amounts to? you're welcome to defend that by all means.

    By invalidating Samurai Main opinions? with nothing but spamming " just suck it " posts as an argument point? and also not playing Samurai to give Samurai opinions that aren't even accurate? is very disrespectful, very insulting in many ways and very dismissive.

    But we don't kink shame, anyone is free to defend that.

    I have it set to private for the same reason I don't stream when raiding because people don't need to be seeing names of my static members. Even if they have their fflog set to private if you went to another member that didn't have private logs you could see their numbers through another log.

    That said, here's a screenshot of a recent kill. Satisfied? I'm no pro player, but I'm not a slouch either and I actually play the damn job unlike that troll.

    It shows that he barely plays the job. Skill level isn't even a factor when you play SAM so infrequently that you don't even have any normal raid parses that a rando uploaded. We question the validity of his opinion because, really, how much does this guy ACTUALLY play SAM? I would never claim to know better than people who main DRG, AST, SCH, DRK, PLD, etc. Because I don't play them often enough (or at all) to be able to grok anything about their job design and what would be best for their game-feel.

    Feel free to look up my parses btw, in case you think I need them to be allowed to point out this guy's lack of SAM play time. They aren't exactly stellar, but pretty alright considering how late in the tier I started, and my lack of dedicated parse runs. Even have a couple purples which is neat.

    All you have to do is look up the character names on ff logs. And I can tell you didn't bother reading his post history, either.

    No.

    He has regularly come into threads to stink the place up, starting with a feedback post I made myself a few months ago:

    https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...ZY.-Here-s-why

    He opens with calling people "stubborn fools" and then retreats to a position of "well it's just my opinion" when called out on it. He is a troll, here to stir up trouble for the sake of it. Do not give him the benefit of the doubt. There have been a handful (they are rare but they do exist) of other people who seem to genuinely support the direction SAM is going, and they have stated as such. But they have done so in a way that doesn't denigrate people who are against the 6.1 SAM changes.

    As to the "parses as validity" argument, yes, parses are an indicator of familiarity, experience, skill and understanding of a job. They are not the only indicator of course, but they are a fairly reliable one. A player who regularly parses at least green in normal content is someone who, at the worst, understands the fundamentals of a job and how it's kit is used both from a personal and group-focused perspective. Parses are not the end-all be-all of course, but a person with a good parse will always have a better fundamental understanding of how a job works than someone with a bad parse. This is because - in order to get a good parse - you need to have a solid grasp of the basics. Not just of your job but of the game as well.

    You may be tempted to say "but this doesn't invalidate his opinion!" to which I will say "yes, yes it does." No one here has a problem with someone coming into the game and playing it super casually, with little-to-no desire to improve themselves, just as long as they are at least doing the bare minimum for their role; keep aggro as a tank, keep the GCD rolling (*ANY* damage GCD) as a dps and keep people alive as a healer. What we have a problem with is someone who clearly does not understand the job nor plays it seriously intentionally fouling the waters with useless posts and bad takes designed entirely to inflame others.

    If there has been any "poor behavior" in regards to Vencio then he has brought it on himself. Expecting people to take getting trashed without responding is ridiculous. Trolls and the like need to be pushed back against as they see silence as assent. Furthermore, the devs need to see that the player base is not on-board with the troll and his troll-y ideas.

    You deal with Trolls by not giving them any attention.

    Giving them even an ounce of your effort means they have won the exchange.

    I'll say nothing further here as an example, and the rest of you should do the same.

    If we weren't on a feedback forum I might agree with you. But long life experience has taught me that ignoring bad people is not how you make them go away. You don't fix problems by pretending they're not there like a camel with it's head in the sand.

    Now, don't mistake what I'm saying for support of engaging with him. Obviously the internet plays a bit differently. But what I did - warning someone about the history of a bad actor - is drastically different from any kind of actual engagement.

    It's definitely interesting tho how sensitive people are to similar behaviour that they themselves direct 5000% worse towards the devs.

    I agree with your overall point tho, I think it's silly to denigrate people who are disappointed about it.
    On the other hand I have a hard time being all that sympathic in the cases when the same people getting upset about the OP are also the same people who can't type a single comment of criticism without including a stream of personal attacks towards the devs.

    But I think it's the same mentality on display where people are mad because not everyone agrees with their view and act like their view is some kind of objective fact and that everyone else is dumb for not agreeing.

    Or explaining Kaiten in-depth met with the debunked argument point of
    - But it's just 1 button / That you just press it every time
    Silly for 1 side to denigrate this take but not the other way around right?

    Or the overused argument of 6.1 being only about Kaiten loss, met with
    - Settle for worse / Shut-up / You're top performing anyways /But the Dev's feelings
    Is every feedback no matter how constructive, suddenly a personal attack towards a Dev?

    Not every Feedback that they asked for? is by default an Attack. And I have a very hard time being sympathetic to the idea of " Victimizing a Billion-Dollar Company " vs us wanting our Feedback being heard. That and apologists or trolls since they all start to all look-alike.

    Respect goes both ways, of which SE and the Dev's haven't been in my opinion with 6.1, at least not for a lot of SAMs. Then again you also have healer-mains waiting for years for something more other then " Glare ".

    The mindset that the Dev's can do no wrong, is a " mentality " I won't adopt. Though for those who do, I can see why that can lead to dismissing every feedback as " a display of people just being mad ".

    Then again that would be trollish shallow, who would do that? amirite
