    And here I thought having a blog meant you had to have something akin to an expansive vocabulary and at least some understanding on how to write things. >.>;;;

    The tone of the "article" could have been different. Less comparisons to GW2 would have also helped. It's one thing to present examples from another game to argue a point on forums. It's another when an article keeps referencing something else when said article doesn't have much to do with it.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.

    Unfortunately that's not a simple blog, but an actually popular website curated by supposedly professional journalists.

    That's really the only thing that made me a little worried, as I thought penny arcade was still held in somewhat high regard by gamers.
