Were you to read my post in full, you would notice I never said Silvermoon's position was my own. In fact I am rather used to arguing in this way because of various college classes I have taken, where positions were assigned to us and you have to be able to articulate a defense or an attack even if you do not believe in what those things are. Were you in my class, you would have failed the instant you said that first sentence.

In addition, there is no need for me to mention post histories here. To me, the statements I have made are correct based on what I have observed, and what anyone lese can observe, through lurking on the forums as that is usually what I do. I do not like engaging much where I don't have to nor having to cite things where it should be common knowledge to anyone who frequents the forums, specifically the lore forums.

I can agree with you in terms of MSQ past 5.3. Personally I don't actually hate political intrigue stories and I have yet to make any real opinions on any recent MSQ as it does take me some time to fully process everything. What I will say is that a glossed over point regarding the WoL is the WoL belonging to a military, as the WoL has to have joined one of the three Grand Companies at some point in time, and in case of a story skip this is actually assigned to whatever your starting nation was (if you started in Limsa, for instance, you will be automatically assigned to The Maelstrom unless you skipped after selecting a Grand Company). I do not think this particular topic will arise but it is something worth noting when going over everything in full, particularly when dealing with a more militaristic opponent who could have potential knowledge of your military standing.
