    The faster the server dies the less they have to uphold any of their overly ambitious vision of what they claim they'll do.

    You don't need the best gear to enjoy playing a game. If you want to set yourself apart by being at the top, then that should require sacrifice.

    If all you want is a little nostalgia trip where everything is given for you for free without effort, just resub to retail and use trusts to burn everything and get handed everything

    Except most (if not all) of the serious stuff: VD HTB, VD Ambuscade(Primer 1), non-trash mobs Odyssey (v15, v20, v25), Omen, Dynamis-Divergence (all 3 waves and the final disjoined boss), most of Sortie, and the 3 Geas Fete zones all bosses for Aeonic weapons cannot be done with just yourself and Trusts only. An argument can be made for certain activities listed above, where specific HTB, Ambuscades, and Geas Fete bosses can be done with some multi-boxxing involved (only).

    It shows how people that haven't played the game in a long time have no idea how the game actually is and just believe "lol, you can just solo everything with trusts now!"

    If it's not 18-man alliances competing against other alliances to deny each other the chance to fight the mob, then it might as well be a welfare hand-out line.

    Proof that the political spectrum isnt a line, it isnt a horse shoe...no, its actually a circle

    Gred on RL issues is 0 degrees, absolute far left
    Gred on video games is 359.999 degrees, absolute far right.

    You did well, not much you can do vs. that mindset.

    I get there's a fun about conflict, tension, and server hierarchy, and prestige. But its not a wellfare vs. perfectly reasonable work. Like if we take the same issue and we completely fucked with the spawn rate/drop rate to make it 100% more difficult. Does that make the game better?

    Probably not. I don't think making it easier would ruin the game either.

    It’s okay to be proud of your accomplishments, and to look back fondly on the fun times. But my dude you spent years of your life addicted to a psychologically manipulative reward structure and the dopamine feedback it gave, in a video game, it’s not a badge of honor, it’s a mental trauma you probably should have worked through by now.

    Feeling proud about what you were able to accomplish is nice. flaunting the joys and positives of a system for its ability to let you prevent others from succeeding is not as nice. It’s kinda creepy how much you love the idea of keeping other downs for the sake of bringing yourself up.

    I mean I look back with sincere joy over my memories of XI… mostly anyway.

    Ideologically I love gay space communist utopia. I just don't think it could ever be achieved because I understand history and I know that either revolutions fail or they result in dictators like Stalin who have a tremendous net negative impact on the world.

    I embrace institutions and gradual change because I honestly believe, 100%, that there is nothing that could ever do better for the world as is right now than America and no one could lead America better than the Democratic party.

    XI was beautiful because we didn't have to worry about humans shitting things up since we can artificially tweak the sandbox. Comparative achievement in XI is actually reasonably related to effort rather than inheriting wealth. Case in point, lock out to nix botting or the salvage bans to punish duping.
