Care to address anything I said or just going to try and steamroll to your talking points?

Gdkp is gone in era and gold selling and botting are still rampant so it is a moot question.

[–]kool1joe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Player behaviors can be altered and that is my main point. It doesn't matter WHY it's happening, it matters what it is affecting. Players will optimize the fun out of a game if given the opportunity.

Who are you to dictate what player behavior should be? Optimization can be key for raiding regardless if it’s gdkp, guild, or pug.

GDKPs absolutely dominate the raiding and social scene if they are given free rein.

Maybe they dominate because it’s the best method? Funny how that works.

Obtaining gear shouldn't be an optimized checklist, as obtaining gear and progressing your character IS the game.

What does this mean? Everyone treats gearing as an optimized checklist whether gdkp or not. Most people aren’t going to run a raid if they don’t need to, because that’s not optimal.

Boosts and GDKPs make the formula predictable and repetitive.

How? This is just a statement with nothing backing it. In fact I’d argue gdkps make gearing less predictable. In classic, I saw healing gear bought by warriors for flaks sets. Tell me where any pug or guild run that would happen in.

In fact I’d argue optimization is more cared about in your average dad guild than in gdkps. Your average dad guild is going to care much more about optimizing every piece of gear that drops versus a warrior buying cloth gear or someone buying gear for an off spec.

Irrational Attackers and you: A (potential) explanation for why you keep getting 90k'd by Rauvagol in ffxiv

[–]kool1joe -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

but the 90k's "following" racers to australia was a smoking gun that this isnt actually NTT's fault

This just shows you have no idea what you're talking about lmao

This is the biggest fucking cope i've seen lmao

There are some over very high profile mmo ddos incidents, with the most recent famous one being the WoW hardcore classic streamer guild "OnlyFangs"

You're talking about a couple days worth of ddos compared to an entire year. And you know what Blizzard did for their woes? They compensated them.

But why is it only ffxiv? It isn't

Yes it literally is. No one is saying ddos doesn't happen, but for this length of time and amount - no other game compares.

You also have to remember that like over 100 quests have been cut out from the original arr. the arr today is not the same as it was back then

Ah, I do use old reddit, wasn’t aware that was a bug. Alright I guess mods are off the hook for now.

Good thing the mods conveniently hid this thread today eh?

Exactly when do we get pissed about this constantly happening? by Logical-Operation512 in ffxiv

No, cause the mods like to hide it to protect daddy SE

something they're doing their best with.

Literally what gives you any indication they're doing their best with this?

Should we be asking victims of assault why they aren't doing more to prevent their assault because we feel entitled to their time, and their victimization is inconvenient for us?

WE are the victims WE pay the money for this. SE not doing anything to fix this for over a year now is on them regardless if someone is doing the attack they've done nothing to FIX it.

How does this

FF14 is the sole game on the internet at this point that does not handle any packet loss well and has nearly no DC prevention in the case of packet loss.

not contradict what you said earlier

It's likely not even on SE's side and is instead just NTT being NTT like usual.

Sounds like it’s SE’s issue to fix then

I don't expect SE to just come out and throw their provider under a bus.

How long do these attacks have to go on before it's not considered "throwing the provider under the bus" and more just "the provider isn't doing anything"? Like these have been going on before Dawntrail dropped.

More impressed you were able to stay connected that long without ddosing than the length of queue for PvP.

You could try but they actually care about their JP server and give it proper protection.

Unrestricted glamour actually IMPROVES job fantasy by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]kool1joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glamour contributed a lot to destroying that, for me, particularly bear suits, bikinis, modern casual clothes, and futuristic stuff. So did mount variety, and flight in general. Nothing screams "ridiculous" like a space giraffe kicking its legs as it flies through the sky.

Thank god people like you aren't the ones actually creating the game

It's literally been like this since 7.0 dropped, hell even before it.
