Welcome to dealing with RA.

I beat you in every argument we ever had, and you're still mad.

LMAO, literally never. Like I said, welcome to dealing with RA. He makes you laugh every time.

It is well known that actual FFXI threads make for horrible conversation. They used to make P&R look normal. They probably still do.

Also, RA is too stupid to be called "evil."

Except Radial is right. He normally is and that annoys a lot of people apparently. The game isn't in maintenance mode and you just saying that is downplaying the games relevancy and acting like people debating important in game decisions on a forum dedicated to the game is somehow crazy. It's what everyone who quits does, looks down their nose at the game and it's current players ans tries to downplaying everything to avoid giving the game any importance so they can reassure themselves they made the right choice quitting. Well sorry, people still enjoy the game after you left just like before you left. They still actively debate and discuss said game, that has been the case since day 1.

Most mmorpgs are around 20 years old, this is not abnormal.

FFXI is not on maintenance mode anymore, Fujito specially said this. People really don't know what the world maintenance means I guess.

They are not ultimate weapons, they are very fun toys.

Making people happy on an anniversary is a good thing, and this years was massively successful cause it peaked interest.

People on XIAH are mostly serious endgame players, and it makes them happy to argue about stuff like this.

It's not negative, people are having fun. Even if having fun is arguing about the tier of the toys.

This is like wow adding a new raid, and going to a serious endgame discord and asking why people are arguing about a strategy instead of just having fun.
Other MMOs are irrelevant here. FFXI is old and lost most of its players, and hasn't been getting frequent worthwhile updates. That's the point.

Not on maintenance mode anymore.. meaning it was? For how long? And has Fujito's statement been reflected on actual additions to the game?

And to say on one hand that these weapons are "just fun toys" (downplaying them) while at the same time justifying all the endless arguing (& name-calling) over them with being "serious endgame players" isn't making sense. There is fun in having discussions and then there is that.

And that's why the WoW example isn't relevant.

ALL mmos are "Old". What is your point? FFXIV is over a decade old too.. I can't think of a single successful MMO that isn't "old"

I maintain in my FFXI LP that Star Sibyl is a lame duck dictator that rules Windurst through fear and coercion.

Taru Town has a dark underbelly, and it ain't the Cat Burglar!

It's 2025 in a 23 y/o game on maintenance mode. The devs decide to give everyone a free ultimate weapon as a nice gesture to enjoy whatever is left of their stay.
It isn't in maintenance mode. Objectively.

The game was literally about to be shut down entirely, I don't think enough people appreciate that Fujito really did do something to convince them otherwise. Whatever he did seems to have stuck for the time being.
No it wasn't.
It was. There was an article about that in the last week or so.

You're like an old woman telling kids to play nice, quit bitching.
Speaking as an old woman I tell the kids "If you don't vote you can't ***." Then I get them to register to vote and ENCOURAGE them to ***. I don't care who they vote for or *** about, as long as they vote.

Except Radial is right. He normally is and that annoys a lot of people apparently.

Most of his positions are interpretative and subjective, so I wouldnt call it “right” or “wrong”.

It is more like “I agree” or “I disagree”, and there is nothing wrong with that.

I mostly disagree with Rady is because most thing he says are generally grounded in some sort of intolerance.

Ok, someone thinks game is on maintenance? I can definitively see elements that could logically lead to that conclusion. Do I agree or disagree? That is my own right to interprete it as I think correct.

But then Rady comes in, forcefully trying to dismiss someones else interpretation because apparently “he is right”, “he wins internet arguments”, and ends up with simply and pure personal offense.

And that is precisely where I disagree with him: He is like those movie bullies walking in the street trying to pick fights because he feels he has the right to correct the others. Resorting to violence if necessary, like calling someone he never saw personally old. Talking someone to “stop bitching”. Asking stuffs to be removed from the site. Bloating censorship rules because he doesnt like something.

In my own PoV, most of time he is definitively “WRONG”.

But it not like I care to convince someone if that person think otherwise. I exposed my PoV, and that is it for my participation in this issue. You are very welcome to disagree or even combat with my opinion, and that is fine.

That is my own idea of tolerance. My own idea of being and acting “RIGHT”.

opinion is irrelevant to this

Quote:
The technical meaning of maintenance involves functional checks, servicing, repairing or replacing of necessary devices, equipment, machinery, building infrastructure and supporting utilities in industrial, business, and residential installations.

If developers add significant code to the game it is no longer in maintenance, there is no grey area. They are adding numerous large things. They literally just added something that required months and months of work, including adding website integration with the game. They are adding all new content next patch.

Whether you think it's enough or not, is irrelevant. It's not in maintenance. Also it was not going to be shut down in 2024 at all, that is utter lies. Saying a game was going to be shut down is demoralizing to a community, and it should not be accepted when it's wrong because people can quit over stuff like that.

Quote:

Yes, if you're being negative about the game and saying a load of bs you should be countered on it, cause it matters in a community. Negativity and lies if allowed to take hold cause more damage than anything else. It's not personal, it's just about what was posted.

“he wins internet arguments”

This is mainly just banter, and I posted it to Viciouss cause we argue a lot and it's funny. It's nothing more than that.

Wtf are you even talking about. You talk nonsense man. Rooks removed the AI pics cause he said he didn't like AI, I not only had no problem with XI AI pics, I defended them and said they were fine. I complained about spam pics, not AI. I complained about SPAM.

Here is what I posted that you keep saying is me asking for stuff to be removed, you don't even know what you're talking about.

RadialArcana said: »
Can we keep the image section related to XI.

AI is fine as long as it's listed as AI, most people liked them. Stop uploading random crap though, you're making the site look worse and wasting peoples time who validate images.

Being mad that people are min/max arguing on XIah, is like going to a wet t-shirt competition and complaining there are titties on display.

:/ the guy flooding the screenshots with AI art is annoying, maybe i am just a *** but I dont see the point in sharing ***anyone can generate.

I don't mind it, as long as it's stated as being AI.

Nice to see new stuff, anyone can do it but almost nobody does.

Everything was going fine for a few days after I posted the dozen photos. It was only a few hours after Niflheim's message that three psycho-fans started attacking with insults. When I made the mistake of trying to respond to the insults with some 'AI garbage' photos, the ban came down.

The first few episodes are pretty slow, it speeds up about halfway through and escalates from there. The whole wedding thing combined with the politics was a bit weird pacing

I like dogs, I also like to abuse Panta by tainting his light-aligned mind into darkness.

Now he is obsessed with me ;)

As for Rady, I think Rady is on top of the list because Rady is a grumpy cat, which is dog's biggest obsession.

You only recently added a profile pic.

Still too fresh for this season evaluation.

But picking on Alfania would reduce the ***-metric to enter the rank

He is top only because thia way we can use the acronym RAN, what is a good advice to follow if you see any of the RAN in the street.

Now, if it was Rynja and Nady, then Rynja would be the worst, and Nady the third one.

But each of those are equaly bad, just in different dimensions:
