Need advice: static imploding because of cheater.

I already admitted that it was a mistake to be baited by a personal attack. But proper social skills that anyone learns as an adult is it's not appropriate to personally attack someone during a discourse because you disagree with them on an another topic. In other gaming forums that are actually moderated, that person would have been moderated and penalized for doing so. (Such as Elder Scrolls Online forums that have a zero-tolerance for that, unlike the cesspit here).

Look how the person calling me a republican (something that isn't relevant that they pulled out of their butt) is being upvoted here. Says a lot of the mentality of some portion of the people here. (A lot actually, given how often personal attacks are supported here.)

Thing is who cares, say if everything you say is true you have zero to prove, so shrug it off. Not trying to come off as harsh or anything but a lot of the issue on these forums stem from people taking words from strangers on a personal level. Just smile and move on with your life, it seems you are doing very well for yourself so who cares if someone thinks you are a republican or a crappy boss? You know what is true and not, so live and let live man. Be the bigger person.

What's funny is I don't think people realize just how much sway FFlogs has nowadays. People praised the dev team up and down for supposedly breaking up the Stormblood Trio of Dragoon, Ninja and Bard yet it's actually the implementation of rDPS (and later aDPS) as the ranked category on FFlogs that played a much bigger role. Without that change selfish jobs would continue to be completely ignored and frequently locked out of parties. Any hopes of optimization on say, Samurai or White Mage would be gone within an instance because nobody of comparable skill level would want either in their parties as you'd be sacrificing both buffs and kill time. Likewise, what keeps the double healers alive is FFlogs mandating a 2/2/4 comp to rank under Standard. If they ever allowed you to run 2/1/5 every single high end static, including a good number of midcore groups would be asking one of their healers which DPS they want to swap to after prog. P8S and Ultimate would be the only exceptions.



Much like a genuinely good player doesn't announce how good they are, they simply play well and other people notice. A successful and confident person in real life doesn't brag or flex their wealth. They simply go about their business as anyone else would.

Indeed just do what you enjoy and call it a day.
