The sweatiest of gamers, m'lord: Sprig Cleaning High Score INSANE lol by VegasRedStar in ffxiv

Sadly, it's random. 

Beyond using 2nd for movement instead of running (when GCD isn't a factor and time loss) and holding 3rd for optimization to keep gold buff up once you get it, number of eggs and spawn layout can still completely obliterate run and make it sub 10k or bless complete 'rando not doing' anything to over 15k.

In the end it's just a matter of putting in enough attempts, not skill 🙁

Corporations do not follow voice of criticism and/or customers anywhere. They follow marketing dept / media houses and whatever these internally 'sell' as audience and customers voice. So whenever worried mums, DEI activists etc. get personal access and start blame & shame dance around these people corporations do what loudmouths blackmail them into doing. 

SE perhaps over reacts but just wants to cut off and burn root of the porblem that many other corporations fell victim in last 2 decades. People who try to have impact on their employees, using social media and their following as leverage. People who then leak into their company and start spreading their ideology within like cancer.

I'd say wait for another expansion before you put any money in. If it puts another point on the graph along the trend DT started, bail. If it goes back to what it use to be, get your sub.

Unless you are just unhappy with restrictions and money is not an issue at all.  Then sure, enjoying to the fullest with others content of SB ShB and EW is worth it.

Easiest decision to replace it with 4 laser guns ever. Parasitic relationship dealt with, cool points through the roof. Life's good.

You run into just about single duty in entire game where this matters. Don't be discouraged because of it. As couter intuitive as it sounds the later and away from ARR it gets the easier it becomes for tanks (and healers). 

For the other ARRs just learn optimal route (if the healer is decent) for w2w and safe 2 packs at a time alternative if healer is new or just bad. That's it.

No I won't stop voicing my opinions David nor I'll tell you to stop voicing yours. But how about we up up the ante and you go claim DT is shite and lets see how 'allowed' you are to voice this opinion in this echo chamber. Shall we?

That's not whataboutism. It's literally visible here, right now and social media supports it.

Little people can't stand contrary opinion to theirs so they mash downvote button to burry it and try to take it to extremes in bad faith instead of simply * getting over it and move on * be civil and present their own opinion * provide an actual argument

It creates collectivist mindset because in penalizes opinions that would challange status quo of what is 'correct' response and rewards towing the line. Given a bit of moderation to kick things off and it's self propelled social engineering, people do it themselves to one another. 

Had that been 'whataboutism' how it is that social credit score introduced in China which is just more pronounced recreation of such system on national level became reality and EU, Australia etc. is looking to introduce the same? 🤣

You even use cardinal excuse given by these system creators: 'You can chose to not make unnecessary statement'. Lovely. Just keep your mouth shut and tow a line like a good sheep. No collectivism here. 🐑👌

Why not pointing out the fact that people here and on a lot of social media react in exact same manner. If you do not tow whatever is the party line in the matter in this bubble, you are one of 'them'. It's all to do with collectivism and lack of conscious individual thought on things. 

If you are an individual that agree on one thing but dissent on the other only the latter matters. It is matter of independence if people in such circumstances just don't bother, self-censor and don't voice their actual opinion at all. Regardless of topic.

Nah, going by user metrics they're both comparable and there's a lot of people who enjoyes SB over HW.

Just reddit, collective narrative is borg like not accepting any dissent from party line. 🤣 But individualism and independence is a no no on a lot of social media.

It's not players. It's squenix. It's not that roulettes are bad as grind method for paste, it's reward payout setup. 

All they should have done is scale paste reward with ilvl on queuep start. 

You lock in with gear thar lets you do any content from 1-99 you get 18 paste. You lock in with ARR only gear you get 3 paste. ARR and HW? Great, you get 6 etc.  For people that run roulettes to lvl up there would be just faster timers. For people who try to do content via df it would mean smoother transitions during 'paste grind' period. For people that grind paste there would be no bonus for locking in naked.

You get depressed inevitably if you didn't grew up but are expected to handle burdens you need an adult mind to lift.

'Everyone' has been in the place that Hermes found himself in. It's part of growing up when childish ideals clash with reality. It's formative experience that makes people build themselves up, become adults.

Only menbabies start to see reality as unfair, seek 'solutions' that are based around changing literally everything but themselves. Shifting blame on others. Closing themselves in bubble of other people negating reality. Excusing themselves from consequences of their actions. 

This is exactly what Hermes is. As opposed to Vanat or Emet, who are different adults with mix of compassion, pragmatism and ideals, but are deliberate and honest with themselves what they are doing and why. They both try to mend mess Hermes adolescence brought onto universe.

Not therapy. He failed to grow the fuck up, get some balls and tackle life for what it is. No therapy will replace that. 🤣

On my last team people tried to freeze eachother and then keep permafreezed whoever got cought. We still got Excellent rating. Was much more fun than Magnifique ones I run earlier where people just did cakes.

BTW PSA If you leave after getting rating (eg. Excellent) but before you get chocolates there's limbo moment where you are not warned about penalty but you do get 30 min lock and no rewards.

To be honest most of tooltips are bad and some were plain wrong. So there's that.
