More Ads that Miss the Mark

[Seraphor]

Do you ever do anything other than complain?

Advertising can be about targeting different markets, within reason, and considering nearly all of WoW's ads are exactly like this, I don't see why it's not something that would work.

I'd much rather they target the gamer bros who like fantasy etc. as opposed to normies who migrate over here from the likes of Nintendogs and Animal Crossing, yes. It's a shame that those are the types that have ended up being catered to in the end as opposed to back in the day when it was the total opposite. Negotiating with Varis, the reformation of Ishgard, etc.

Hardcore raiding gamer bros don't need advertising, they travel by word of mouth and 4chan green texts, and follow their statics wherever they go.

This game is foremost a Final Fantasy game, which means the story is front and center, so why would advertising the story aspect of the game be a mistake?

And it's kinda hard to take your "hardcore raider" persona seriously when you have a demon-twink-roleplayer profile. And don't you spend all your time hanging out in Limsa anyway?

I dont think he's saying that as a hardcore raider and I never got the impression that he was one. I dont even remember seeing him in the big threads about the last savage tier. The thing he is hardcore about is writing fanfics.
