You morons can't help but disagree with me, because you HAVE to remind everyone and me that your opinion matters. Especially since I'll have a MD in two years. You have to defend the last place on earth where you actually matter--the internet forum. If you let some MD come in here and kick you out, you have nothing left. Nothing. So you HAVE to talk to me. If you don't, you will cease to exist. There's no place in this world for nobodies who think they internet gives them equality. Your minds are slow. Your talent is lacking. You herd together like frightened cattle whenever I show up in a topic. Every single time. If it weren't so sad it would be funny.
You getting an MD in two years doesn't matter, even if you already had it wouldn't matter. We're talking about a video game. Someone's relic weapon and 100million gil means nothing in the real world, your education doesn't mean anything in the game, it's a two way street.
Btw I'm in my senior year of highschool, my average is 85, I'm 17 years old, my parents pay for everything, I have no responsibilities. We've still talked ingame, and you've asked for my oppinion on certain matters, you could of cared less if I were 17years old, or an MD, you still asked for my oppinion and we discussed things
as equals. You really shouldn't bring the real world into this, think of the game as an isolated world, forget you have a real world when talking ingame politics, because it really doesn't matter in this setting.
You all are still pathetic internet forum posters no matter how much you post. Your opinions are worth what you are in real life, which is apparently jealous little brats. You can't throw weight in real life, so you throw it in a game and say you hate how people like ME throw weight in real life. You just want to be me. Plain and simple. You can't, so you do it in the only place you can--in the only place that no one really cares about--games and forums.
It's completely natural to throw weight around when you have some to throw. I remember reading somewhere you took some phycology courses (I could be wrong). I'm sure you'd be able to realize someone who has a ton of mucles will probably brag about it. Someone who has a billion dollars will probably brag about it. Someone who has a million gil will probably brag about it. Someone who has just deafeated ks99 will brag about it. Someone who's a genius with math will probably brag about it. Someone who could pwn you in SOCOM will probably brag about it. etc...
Now when the world heavy weight champion flexes his muscles saying the CEO is wrong at a microsoft board meeting would get laughed out. When a lvl75 PLD claims he's better than a lvl60PLD in warcraft, he'll get lauged out. When you try to claim you have a MD to an angry bear, that bear will be laughing...
Your status only matters in the society that values it, you're working in a society based around a game called final fantasy XI.
