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.

"Too much" of anything is bad for you, by definition of "too much."
That doesn't mean that it isn't good for you in moderation.

The "utter nonsense" is trying to refute the studies that show that coffee confers long-term health benefits by citing articles about how "too much" coffee is bad for you. Drinking too much water is bad for you, too, but that doesn't mean it isn't beneficial in general.

So stop spreading disinformation about coffee, it's off topic anyway.

In no way trying to start a fight, but I do find it oddly hilarious how we go from a discussion about the current state of the games plot to the benefits or lack their of between tea or coffee consumption lol.

I typed "coffee health benefits" into a search engine and got an article on why coffee may have health benefits. Yes, too much of anything can be bad for you, but to present only one side of an argument is also disinformation.

We just gonna ignore how addictive it is? Good luck taking a proper dose when you're addicted to the stuff.

They're the one who brought coffee up and used it to change the topic. I'd be glad to talk about the previous topic again lol.

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.

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.

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

^ 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.

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

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

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.

"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.
