These forums are weird

I dont think raid lockouts is predatory. Housing and FC ownership for sure, although thankfully not many people own a house anyway. Please hoping that IS eventually fixes this, now that they're adding more housing features there.

Right, raid lockout isn't super predatory to me as an example, but I know it is enough for some.

I've taken the easier route and just do Normals now, I don't really see a reason to chase BiS or even do Savage because it's too demanding for what it gives back. I get the same feeling with Savage as I do a competitive game like CS:GO, except with CS it's easier for me to rank and hop in/out any time of day or week.

Oh hey, I kind of missed your Over-the-top Analogies
Still a good laugh from the stupidity of it.

You're right its not the complicated, so why are You Pretending it ever was?
FFXIV is also my 1st "real" MMO (Im not sure if I count Runescape honestly) I am very much attached to it...but still, if it ever went down a road where literally "There is no saving it, its dead, I hate it, I find NO Joy Here"...Im out, Id leave. An FC, a House...there is nothing stopping me from leaving and canceling a Sub to a game if it no longer is fun.

I dont need a rationalization to keep me playing.
I just need the game to be fun.
Not fun anymore?...goodbye.

Its that simple

It was supposed to be over the top, to be funny. Lighten up. lol

Anyway, you say that until it actually happens to you. I can imagine the people here saying this type of shit like "Yeah you just move on" will likely act the same way eventually. Even Atelier was similar - much better tempered, but still eventually went over the edge all the same.

I know, because of the fact that you aggressively interact with the community - Means you're likely quick to act in the opposite position as well. That's just how it is for folks like us.

Edit: It's also funny when I see WoW Players say similar shit too - When I know for a fact they prob made a huge stink on the WoW forums before they eventually quit. If you're loud, you're loud. When you're happy you're loud, when you're mad you're also gonna be loud. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
