That Mac thread!

[Jaimie]

I will when the Mac fanboys stop being elitist over things that aren't true, and lord those over the rest of us Window/Linux plebs.

Details I want details

What are they elitist about ? That MACs in general are more aesthetic ? MACs are more stable ? MACs are more innovative ? What what what I wanna know.

What did they say that wasn't true ? <fill me in> <please>

Don't get me started on Linux WTF did the do to the Ubuntu UI IT SUCKS NOW

P.S. Whoever called you a pleb should apologize.

[Jadi]

I'm sorry, perhaps i should have introduced myself. Over in the WINE AppDB, i am known as Michael D. I am the first maintainer for FFXI and first supermaintainer/maintainer for FFXIV. I have also been supporting GNU/Linux and Mac OSX applications for several years. These preconceived prejudices are from experience.
You have not lived until you have been in a room with 1 doctor of CS, 2 doctoral students, four graduate students and some undergraduate research students all gathered around an iMac and ready to ask you to disassemble it to get the rewritable CD out of the drive because dragging rewritable media to the trashcan makes so much sense on a method of ejection.

Most people that i know, do not understand that a Mac is not different than a PC, other than the "magic" chip that OSX will poll to see if it is a mac. Video editing is not faster on a mac, it is just elitist and traditional all at once.

Please get some experience before spewing forth opinions that are being claimed as fact.

I think this topic was about asking for a native mac client? hey OP, is WINE ok, or were you looking for more? i think we got lost. Also, official and unsupported clients for Linux/BSD/Mac would be awesome. Id ask for BeOS, but Be doesnt even support it anymore.

QFT & thank you for your work on Wine man. He has said Wine as acceptable if SE complied with Winelib I believe and released an official yet unsupported client so users could just install and go.

If you don't like Ubuntu and Unity (that's what I'm assuming your complaining about is the Unity interface) you have options. Gnome 3 is right there and Debian or Fedora are good.. Personally I've been revisiting SuSE recently after a long time and find the latest versions quite nice.

I don't know why people see any kind of problem with a Mac client. People own these systems now and they want to play FFXIV on them now. I don't even use Macs and I like the idea.

Thanks, I'll try the Ubuntu change later, it's on my "gaming" laptop

As for the Mac/PC debate :

Options options options

no one is asking SE to force people to play on a mac
Making a mac version shouldn't be that hard, and it would probably increase the player base Think of it finally a KILLER app for the MAC

P.S. anyone play FFT on the ipad my nephew messed up my game save, and now im stuck entering into battle with only Ramza in pt.

Look back on my posts, plenty of patently false claims by Mac fanboys.

And nobody called me a pleb on here specifically, but it's something I hear all the time from Mac fanboys.

I'm too lazy to look up your posts. SO for the time being, I'll go with this:

/ignore

Can't win argument? Ignores.

As for mac debate: Can you play FF14 on Mac? Yes? Then keep playing it like you are doing now. A Mac specific client will be ready (maybe) in 3-4 years

OMFG I can't believe I tried to help you with your video card issue /slap <me>
I don't play on a Mac, I don't even own a Mac , I have a desktop (my main rig), and a "gaming" laptop, and a iPad (but I don't think I'd want to play it on that lol)

You have 500+ posts and you want me to search thru them? I have better things to do with my time, like replying to stupid posts like yours.
