Why do we have to dwell on meaningless issues?

A lot of you mention that if people aren't happy with the choices made in the game they should simply leave. The same is true for the forums. I'm not even sure why I keep coming on here, because I agree a lot of the complaints are trivial (even some of mine). This place is a great way to kill brain cells.

Hello! I'm sorry to hear you were angered by my thread. I appreciate the topic isn't for everyone. Likewise, there are many topics I don't like on this board, but I just read them and then close the tab. Not everyone is going to like the same topic. 'Variety is the spice of life'

I think if we're going to talk about problems with this forum, we might want to address the issue of reading comprehension. Take yourself, for example, CSLionheart. You berate my thread, going on to talk about swimsuits, phrasing it in such a way as if I denoted I had an issue with them. That's quite unusual, considering the third paragraph of my opening post talks about swimsuits and why I was OK with them. It's quite strange people would take the time to scorn a thread, yet seemingly didn't comprehend the most basic of its content. Perhaps they only read the title?

So we now have another thread which, after ten pages, people are still lambasting my thread as hating on sexy gear. It's really strange, since if you actually take the time to read the thread, I don't ever say that I feel there should be no sexy gear. If you actually read the thread you'll notice I joke about subligars, say I like the breast size option and don't mind the coliseum gear. It's quite weird how people read things which aren't there!

But, hey, I got what I wanted from the discussion, some others actually understood what I was talking about, even if they politely disagreed with me but according to others I'm a basement dwelling ugly purist nerd who is most likely a man, hates all sexy gear, doesn't want a breast size option and thinks large chests are sexist. It's quite extraordinary, slightly amusing, but a little sad

So on this topic, can anyone suggest another discussion board where the level of reading comprehension is a bit higher? I had been warned about this forum, but I wasn't aware of any decent alternatives. thanks!

Honestly I'm just hopeing these types of threads, all of these that focus on the sexism and marriage topics get shut down and soon.

Hate me if you like, I really, really do not care.

I don't mind these types of threads. Especially after coming off of a Producer Letter that offered little in the way of new information.

-We now know the games delayed for two and a half months.
-Animations are... dun dun duuuun "lackluster" and will be for the foreseeable future
-Shiva was pictured but not mentioned
-Gear shown could just be class or GC gear. Not job announcments
-MNK will work differently but we already knew this

Most of it was a rehash of already released info and anything that was new was anticlimactic besides the ending video. With no game to preoccupy some of these people there has been an influx of XIV fans onto the forums.

Opinions will be made and consequences will never be the same.

Discussion is discussion, whether we're talking about the impact of breast physics or job and story speculation. The NA audience doesn't even have access to Alpha yet so everyone here is just blowing smoke out of their ass.

This includes OP and this very thread.

Threads about threads are more of a waste of time than the threads mentioned.

The players are only responding to the Q & A set by the developers.. if they felt it was important enough to mention then why are we debating if its important enough to discuss?

I agree completely. On the same sex issue, they aren't doing it because in the long run it could cost them millions in lost business by offending entire COUNTRIES of people. So what if you think those countries are 'closed minded'. Its what they believe and they aren't going to change their minds just 'cause you don't like it. So if you like SE at all, why would you pressure them to take such a substantial risk over an issue that wont REALLY make much of a difference for you? The risks FAR outweigh the benefits.
As for objectifying women...I also don't see it. I'm a woman, and I see no problem with breast physics. I'd also like realistic hair and clothing physics while they're at it too. The more realistic the animations, the better, and that includes breasts. They are a part of the female body, why should you be disgusted by them? Its not as though they're going to be going around topless.

Omg i just read this thread and I actually felt sick for the people posting on that thread, it wasn't funny - it was a witch hunt.
I know totally off the topic but that's internet bullying no matter if the person lied or not. It strikes me so odd that no one thought that maybe this person was bullied by someone and didn't find any other way but to fake his death and jump servers?

Anyways, regarding this topic at hand...
I actually agree with the OP.
These forums really have the weirdest topics sometimes and I hope the dev team really filter past some of the crap that some can consider feedback.

OP, you may want to learn the following formula: "in my opinion". It would actually make me want to read your whole post.

[Huginn]

apparently you are not an "activist." if you were, you would understand the idea of inundating others with meaningless drivel as a means of beating someone into bloody submission just to get the beatings to stop.
