There is so much to do in this game that...

[Raven2014]

You got caught with your foot in your mouth, guy. You admitted to bullying. Now you’re retracting statements. She got caught has now turned into no one really caught anyone. Now trying to excuse it with “well they joke about me too”.

You were petty. Trying to defend it or turn it around on myself and storm peaks is desperate. Humble yourself and admit you were a jerk and move on. No one found your story amusing. Sorry bud.

Nah, seeing the whole context of every single of my post in this thread (and others), even prior to that post clearly indicate I support and encourage people who going to and having fun at clubs. I have nothing to be ashamed or humble of. In fact, I can stand proud and proclaim I love the fact people engage in the socializing of the game. And had said that many many times before this encounter with you. I had defended them and I will continue defend them.

It's completely bonker for you to twist it into me making fun of going to club is "bullying", as if it makes sense to bully someone for doing something I 100% support of? Making fun of, or saying "I caught you doing naughty!" .etc. in an endearing manner has always been a thing between casual friends. Looks around the discussion about ERP or RP, plenty people have no problem with those activities, but that doesn't stop people to meme and joke about it for fun with a tongue in cheek.

Like I sad, it's ironic you're going specifically for me by taking a few word out of the whole context while I have been nothing but supportive in this thread, while just ignoring everyone who openly hostile and look down the activites itself is clear showing of your agenda. It's obvious you're having a personal issue and decide to drag your baggage to twist my word into something you want to see. Like I said, it's pity and sad, but I can not argue against the echo in the back of your mind. I know I have fun with my static making these joke including with the member in question before, during, and after the joke was made. I have a good time while you're just continue standing there on the sideline, getting angry on behalf of some imaginary nobody.

On a plus side, you will be extremely successful as a political activist in the current climate. If that's not already your job, I recommend looking into it. You can make big buck doing what you love: twisting words, take them out of context and creating fake news.

No one’s twisting your words. You were quoted directly. No tricks here. Just you retracting statements and changing the context as per usual once you get attention you don’t want. Same ol’, same ol’

[Raven2014]

Same ol’, same ol’

Again just to show this is more about your baggage and prejudice above all else. I'll admit to one mistake: I responded to your provocation.

And that is a mistake I will not make again.

I'm not typically one to defend Raven, but I do think that the assumptions being made could be premature. From the outside of their friend circle, we don't know who finds what funny, or why. A lot of situations create inside jokes, which someone from the outside wouldn't really understand.

I can agree that it's optional. It's the "in a vacuum" part that I'm more interested in. The relics may not be necessary to do other content but they also aren't in a vacuum where they have no other use.

If you dont grind the relic, no content is locked out to you. That is what i mean by it being in a vacuum. The grind serves no other purpose then to fulfill one objective and one alone. You grind for the relic. The relic is not required for any content. Grinding the relic doesnt unlock any content. You can do the hildabrand questline and not do the relic. You can progress bozja into zadnore and not do the relic. You can progress through eureka and not grind the relic. Literally nothing is required of the relic. The grind is completely within a vacuum

As a semi-related thought, I half wonder if what is really making some players angry is that using tomestones as the grind currency is taking away the double dip in rewards that the other relic grinds offered. Where before they would grind whatever was required to get the dropped tokens/complete the quest objectives, they would also still have the usual currency rewards from the content to use as they please. Now they're required to use the currency for the relic, they lose that additional reward for doing the content.

That is one of the reasons, yes. Astronomy has been a tome in this game since 6.05. It is incredibly overused.

This is the party finder on Sunday night. It's particularly interesting that there are more postings about people advertising miscellaneous activities they make up than actually trying to group up and do content the game provides.

I'm really feeling the MMO aspect of this game.

It's 55 "other" postings vs 41 for the rest of the actual game.

I guess you can also spam the roulettes and steamroll whatever you get with a bunch of strangers that won't say anything because why would you? a WAR can solo pretty much any instance at this point. What's there to say?

On the bright side we seem to have gained one group looking to do a deep dungeon after Orthos released. Nice.

Forgive my cynicism at this point and I'm sure millions of excuses are going to be presented here but this is the reality of the game lately.

Excuse me feet pics are serious content
