The feeling of beeing Home ...

I am constantly impressed by people's willingness to bicker over everything.

Welcome to the Internet, you must be new here.

Thanks! I hate it!

I would leave the Game but right now I have 9 Full Retainers, paid for nearly 80 Days, and nearly 80 Days paid Gametime. So what can I do?

I thought to look over an opinion on an individual character and expand on the flaws in the argument, but I think I found a big part of the problem: Buyer's Remorse. You've over-committed and overburdened yourself.

^ This. It's very hard to make a fair decision about whether to continue doing something when you've already sunk either time or money into it. OP, I would look into the topic of the sunk cost fallacy then try making a decision. Knowing why you're thinking the way you're thinking will help you make the best choice for yourself, regardless of what outcome you decide on.

Sure, if we're also gonna ignore health risks associated with drinking too much tea. Both sides of the argument, after all.

Tea in general contains less caffeine than coffee, which is the addictive element.

Isent the main addictive aspect of coffee the caffeine? And...pretty sure tea has it too. Perhaps in a lower does, but the idea then again becomes proper amount consumption. Unless your referring to a different addictive aspect of coffee.

I can drink a cup of tea and not get addicted when a coffee addict would to a cup of coffee because there's less caffeine in the cup.



Regardless of whether tea or coffee is good for you, remember when we had a (somewhat) nice thread about the game? Then everything changed when the coffee nation attacked lol

"In general" is weasel-wording. Espresso "in general" contains less caffeine than drip coffee (per serving, not per ounce).
Drip coffee being a poor substitute for Cafe Americano, anyway.

You want to know what's really addictive, though?

Video games, by design. Including MMORPGs like FFXIV.
And "too much" playing FFXIV is bad for your health.

We've had that same thread about the game so many times that at this point the coffee/tea debate is honestly far more interesting.

10 days till the next live letter, rather than this discussion about coffee what are some potential ways that the story/content side could course correct?

I'd love to see at least 1 scion stranded or left behind in the Fell Court of Troia, along with a full show of force from the new antagonists if they are somehow successful in breaking through to the Source and laying waste to someplace. I would like to see Vrtra's adult form be an attractive male Au Ra, and for him to take over the all-rounder role in place of G'raha Tia. I do not want for the twins to re-enter the story at this point, that would be an instant turn off for the MSQ for me.

I would like for the NPC for Variant/Criterion dungeons to be a new character entirely rather than yet another returned Scion, and for that content to both have good rewards/be engaging. I will not be doing Manderville relics, but I hope that the new EX weapons/crafted weapons are worth pursuing as well. Fundamentally I want the game to improve, but it is exhausting dealing with community members who usually default to dismissing the ways in which it could.

By having Y'shtola open a coffee shop.
That serves proper English scones, but not tea.
Especially not Earl Gray, even my tea-swilling spouse hates that dirt water.

I would actually be pretty interested in a scion getting left behind. Could make for an interesting sub plot with perhaps a later version of a corrupted scion member of some sort. Urianger or Thankred would be a good choice imo. As for criterion, eh. I have doubts it will be overly plot heavy so im kinda checked out on that front, but I do also hope the rewards are good. Id love to see square broaden their horizons for rewards. Makeup, tattoos, extra CC related accessories would be a fast way to get EVERYONE running new content it seems.

I'm sorry for talking about coffee, but it wasn't my fault. ;-;

In general, aka on average, tea has less caffeine than coffee. This states that most teas will have less caffeine than most coffees, while also not stating that teas that use excessive amounts of caffeine or coffees that use barely any do exist as neither of these statements are true. Answer this question: In general, how many fingers do humans have? Five. Yes there are people with six, and people with four. But in general, they have five. Most teas have less caffeine than most coffees. Thus the statement "Tea in general contains less caffeine than coffee" is true.

I'm sorry I didn't mention your outlier brand of coffee that doesn't have as much caffeine. I'm sorry I didn't mention any outlier brand of tea that shovels in caffeine by the boatload. You happy now?

(Yes, I had to)
