    You learn quickly that on any public forum (literal and figurative) that you should put forth information not for the vocal minority, but the silent majority who read, who visit and who try to learn. Trying to change people's mind on any public setting is difficult for a wide variety of reasons. The fact that it appears the wide majority of forum posters and those of the vocal minority suffer quite heavily from the Dunning-Kruger and Backfire effect simultaneously is one of the main deterrents of open, intellectual conversation.

    As you may say, "ur doin it rong" if you try to change the mind of any person suffering from those cognitive pitfalls that every person can fall into regardless of socioeconomic/geographical position. Instead more people should post for those who read but don't get involved, that's the majority of the people who will see these posts. They're the ones who are most helped.

    It's time to mow the threads. While the posts may be greener in another thread please, and I can't believe I'm saying this, please keep all posts of Final Fantasy XIV's grass to the original thread. Thank you.

    I'm just posting to say thanks for actually contributing something instead of having a childish pissing match. More importantly something with actual data backing it. I typically don't post in the PLD section of the forums since I really don't know much about the class, so I'm one of the "silent majority" you mentioned. Been trying to learn more about gearing effectively, stats, etc, and you've been very helpful.
