This thread seems to have turned into 50% posts by Evil Geko and 50% posts of people quoting Evil Geko, which is really hard for me to work with since I have the guy on Ignore for pretty much this exact thing, only a year earlier and on a different subject.

I can't even remember anything specific about high school anymore, other than how so many of those athletic types were jerks. But that's not really a specific memory. And most of them are dead now, so... yeah.
Mmmm... aah... let me think... I know someone who won an Emmy award? But they were already out high school by then.

You're correct. Thus, I just put Sam on ignore as well so he can ignore me, and I can ignore him. Everybody wins.

You, however, are arguing that yours is the right one and should be the ONLY one in game. We are arguing that both methods should be in-game, thus being fully inclusive of both opinions.
See what I'm getting at? You're the only one slamming other peoples opinions here.

I get it, you don't see it that way. But I take a great deal of umbrage at the idea that my view is somehow elitist, 'slamming', etc. I really don't understand why you folks can't just try to see that a reasonable person can have a contrary view.

I think a better compromise is for the devs to never give costume pieces as rewards for gameplay again. It does seem to annoy people. I know why they keep doing it, but it's a hassle for some.

The first is a person that has stated in no uncertain terms that he considers disagreement, no matter how polite, to be a personal attack on him justifying insulting me and my character. After a couple of years of that, I just gave up on this person.
The second is Sam. Sam has personalized this. If he does not wish to look at my posts, so be it. As I told him. I suggested he put me on ignore. But Techbot was right, I was annoyed that he mentioned it and has felt the need to mention over and over that he has me on ignore. So, I think it best to follow his lead.
Question for you: Why do you feel the need to make this so personal? I mean we're arguing over digital costume bits. Why the condescension?

I disagree with your opinion. I've also been calling shenanigans on your reasons behind those opinions, because I find them either foolish or selfish, and I'm not afraid to call things as I see them. I suppose that might make you feel like I've been attacking you personally if you feel like you have some kind of vested interest in this topic. But if you don't like what I have to say, you're not obligated to listen.
I never put anyone on ignore, because I really don't see the point in doing something like that. It's just a game forum, afterall.

Ah I get it now. You are unable to articulate a response, so you attack the motive instead. Thanks!

Also "unable articulate a response" does not mean "saying things I don't agree with" no matter how many times you keep trying to say so.
As well, just so we're clear on this:
I entirely understand the reason for your dislike of this idea. You had to play the ITF to get the Roman costume bits and you feel it's unfair for someone else to later be able to get it by points purchased on the market. You feel it cheapens the reward for you and you feel that is unfair.
My gut reaction to such an opinion is "get over it". This is entirely your problem, all built up in your head. That you've been trying turn it around as the rest of us (those who agree with my opinion) being the unfair ones is just so much justification for your little problem.
I mean, I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear enough throughout this entire ordeal; I've been totally laughing at you and your silly little tirade this entire time. I don't take it at all seriously, but you've continued to push your idea forward, and that's rather humorous. That's the reason my responses might have been a bit a rhubarb. 
Quote:
No, I get it. Seeing all you get worked up over something I really could care less about has been quite entertaining. I argued the point because the ultimate justification for your arguments is laziness. A desire to make already extremely easy tasks easier. And you all continued to argue that you had the purest of motives. |

I fully expect that the devs will sell many of these pieces eventually. Perhaps not the Incarnate pieces but most of the others. I don't even think I'll notice when it happens.
"Tirade," no my friend. As I have warned you, you are projecting. I have been nothing but ultra-polite to every poster here. Despite all the ad hominem attacks, flaming and other nonsense directed at me. Sensible posters like the OP stated their position and moved on. While you all gave me something to do instead of work!
Thanks!

LOL if you say so.
If it'll make you feel any better, I'll let you have the last word even!
A winner is you!
You know what would REALLY help on these forums? If ignoring people actually ignored people quoting them, as well as ignoring their posts. I've brought up "I have ignored such and such" a lot, but the only reason I do this is because it's very difficult to do this when posts of their quotes in other people's replies aren't ignored, and I end up reading quotes before I check who they're from. It's an unfortunate habit of mine, I admit, but it makes it very difficult to go through a thread where everyone seems to be quoting someone I have on ignore.
It's not, as many have accused me, to take jabs at people who can't reply. Hell, I'd pay real money for a forum mod that does this.

Ultimately, it's going to be down to the Devs and Marketing to see which stays or becomes reality.

No, really. I find your behavior in this thread to be despicable.

For example, can I feel no pride or admiration for one of my students when they graduate from law school? Do you think that when that happens I will in any way be proud of them because they have something that others don't?
That's an extremely cynical outlook on life. I do not share it.
