Why people are bad at the game, and why they never learn to play it.

[Jaxtaro]

The only thing that's circular here is the cycle of bad faith arguments you make. Quite frankly, it's pathetic, and I should have called you on the dishonesty early on, but I wrongly assumed you were capable of civil conversation. Unfortunately, you're not. You bandy about sniveling histrionics, throwing mud at the wall, using the most textbook gaslighting tactics, and pretending you have the moral high ground.

You're not fooling anyone, it's as transparent as it is dishonest.

Here's the formula...start with a snide insult, then throw out a strawman and argue against the argument you created, peppering it with just the most bizarre accusations.

As an example...here:

You complain about elitism, while you denigrate a significant chunk of the player population to nothing but your personal servants. What a ridiculous amount of delusional entitlement

There is so much wrong with this statement it should be framed and hung in a museum of bad faith, irrelevant, and uncreative arguments.

1. Recognizing the intent of how the game is designed is not "denigrating", nor is it "delusional", nor is it "entitlement" any more than recognizing the speed limit is "denigrating" to NASCAR drivers.

2. You are not a "servant" when you volunteer for, and derive payment from services rendered. You literally sign up for daily roulettes, but the system is in place to bribe you with a significant bonus of experience points once per day for making yourself available to fill duties for people who are going through the content that you wouldn't receive otherwise, just going through the content There is no world where bribery = indentured servitude.

Here's another..

By the way, there is this thread here, about a healer who managed to not deal a single point of damage (not even buffing their party) for a while run of the current Alliance Raid:*https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...to-be-a-mentor
You are suspiciously absent.*

1. There is nothing "suspicious" about someone not participating in every single thread which touches upon a subject. That is more accusatory, bad faith nonsense

2. We established early on what I defined as a minimum standard for performance was as follows

If the healer can stay alive and everyone stays alive, it's fine by me.

What part of this implies a zero healing performance being acceptable?

This pattern of "ineffective and childish attempt to insult, followed by presenting a crazy argument I never made, followed by gaslighting (things like "delusional"), then by a moral judgement predicated on all of the above as method of avoiding engaging is self evident as an avoidance technique that is reminiscent of how children frame things when called on their shenanigans.

I am dumbfounded that you appear to have a flower. You are, by far, the least qualified "mentor" I have ever encountered. You are a schoolground bully, and frankly, should have mentor status removed on the premise of toxicity alone.
