I only encourage minors to:

1. Dont use drugs
2. Dont drink
3. Dont have sex till you are fully aware of its consequences.
4. Study
5. Treat well dogs.

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”.

The only intolerance morally justified is against the RAN.
