How to Restore Confidence in FFXIV

[TowaIsBestGirl]

Aveyond has a long history of sweeping claims and grandiose statements on what everyone wants, going back to his ridiculous claim that "Overwhelming player feedback is they want Yshtola gone" and "The Scions have reached their use by date and we want a new cast" are just two.

"We?" Who is we?

Him, maybe, but IMO I am not a hypocrite when i state categorically that what he wants is not what others want and yeah, damned right, no one speaks for me.

I never asked him or anyone else to either...Ill give you a parallel, when my late wife was in hospital, a nurse who had known her a few days, had the nerve, the gall, the absolute CHUTZPAH to tell me, her husband of twenty years that she knew my wife better than I DID??

With respect, Towa, you want to know what I think? Ask me. If you dont then neither you or anyone else speaks for me. Ever.

How is that "hypocritical"??

We are all free to state our own opinions and wants, absolutely, but no one, and I mean no one here, has the right to claim to speak for others. This forum is a tiny microcosm and to an extent an echo chamber..again, what we see here does NOT reflect the wants, needs or preferences of the vast majority who play and who DO NOT post here.

So, unless by some magic or other device he or others are able to discern the opinion / mindset / wishes of every player on every single server worldwide?

No.

Yes, but what entitles you to demand everyone consult you every time they state their case? You're literally not seeing it, what you do. I've not seen a single poster claim to speak for you nor others, at least not in those words. They only ever seek to put forth their stance on any number of given matters, and the manner in which you word your seemingly every post doesn't do your image nor your credibility any major favors. To be frank, in comparison most of the more contentious posters around here seem far more approachable. You are highly combative, and if you truly wish to be consulted it would do you well to tailor your speech accordingly. If they've made use of unreasonably aggressive language, I haven't seen it so you'll have to excuse me for the time being at least. In conclusion?
