I'm not interested in bullshit anti-WoW responses, this isn't an XI onry board anymore the FB included. I asked to make sure before getting on the rag.

Obviously you're not much of a reader either. Not quite, nice try tho. I say it because it's entirely true and i mod my own threads in the FB. As it's the FB it's kind of a moot statement because really .. how the fuck do you break the rules here? It's purely show. Anyway.. if i set the prescedence for what is on and off-topic in the OP, which i did, i reserve the right to bitch you out for attempting to sink my thread (which is intermittently a great conversation) with inane bullshit that has no relation to the entirety of the thread. Cry me a goddamn river, I have been kindly attempting to keep that type of 'zomg this game > that game' shit out of this thread. It goes nowhere and it's not worth getting involved in, especially with me in particular, i'm not looking for it so i didn't make or respond to a topic about it. It's that simple.

You were more than civil and i figured the space i reserved for you in the post which was only minimally in response to your post was more than civil, it's becoming bothersome and i tire of babysitting posters because they're under the impression it's ok or even worth getting in to that line of discussion on the FB of all places. I mean if some of you want to go ahead and make a topic and bust out the measuring tape go right the fuck on and do it. I'm actively not taking part in it as not only am i not interested it has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

News rerun: QCDNs not a FFXI-onry site anymore. Shocking i know, even the 10th time around i'm still taken back by it.

Had you read the OP and comprehended the simple words i wrote it in you'd understand this is a thread on stupidity all over the MMO universe not a dick measuring contest between games. I actually even stated i found less of certain things in FFXI and that i was entirely sure that many XI players could relate to the ideas i was expressing. I relate most specificly in my post to WoW as i ... ECHO ECHO ECHO ECHO.. you know what, no. Try again, just go back to page one and start over. By the time you get back here i'll be waiting with candy or something.
It turned into that contest long ago, and by the time I read all 8 some pages you think I even had a clue as to what the OP was about? Did it even matter? You moderate posts? What IS going on here?
 
I drew this up for the non WoW-ers here. It's exactally what Mokk has been talking about. Here's the gist of the quest:

Outside of town, across the road, are 3 Alliance cannons. Destroy them, and return to me.

Black = Thrallmar
Red = Giant Horde cannons
Brown = Road
Blue = Giant Alliance cannons

There were those of us who got the new expansion at midnight on release day, followed by the trickle of people who got it at normal business hours, then the absolute explosion of the weekend. From the very first person who installed the expansion during normal hours to more than a month later, your screen was absolutley packed with a non-stop stream of "HAY WHERE IZ T3H ALLIANCE CANNUNZ?!?!" The best part, you can clearly see the fucking things from Thrallmar (the Horde base)

Also, for those who have never played WoW, quests are presented in two forms, one for the loreseeker, the other for the fast get to 70 tonight guy. It's all presented on the same fucking pop-up screen, and would read something like:

Random Orc Guard: <Player> we have managed to secure a foothold in this desolate area, unfortunatley so too has the Alliance. We must maintain superority in this region <Player>. Outside Thrallmar, to the south, you can see the primary artillery batteries of the Alliance. Go there, across the great road, and destroy them. Return to me when you have struck this mighty blow for the Horde.

Quest: Random Orc Guard wants you to travel south of Thrallmar, across the road, and destroy the Alliance cannons.

Reward: You will receive ???

It's presented in two fucking ways, both with more than adequate descriptions of what to do, and how to get there. I honestly think 90% of the player populace on my server asked where these cannons were. Ever seen Clerks, where the chick says "So how much is this thing anyway?" with the big 99 cent sign behind her? Yup, imagine that happening 7,000 times. I bet if I went there right now, there would still be people asking.

So what you are saying is that you are a total douche who derails threads without even caring? No the OP doesn't moderate his/her posts but he/she is certainly gonna get pissed off about a derail. Just get out of here since you clearly don't give a damn about anything.

The short sweet answer is, as always, 'Boobies'.

Seriously, you read all 8-10-whatever pages. Did i not attempt to nip that shit in the bud at every opportunity including yours? This thread had nothing to do with which game was better, it had everything to do with the same type of morons being found no matter where you wind up on the internet as far as gaming goes.

As far as not being able to make a few pages without retaining the OP .. just wow. I made the OP as clear as possible about the anti-wow thread shitting and the penis measuring that is this game > that game.

Next time i see a thread from you about say ... cars, would it be ok for me to come in 6 pages later and tell you why trains > cars with my only defense being:

'Well in that many pages i lost track and forgot all the while completely ignoring your efforts to keep the thread on track.... but i did read it.'

I don't know about you but that sounds like some bullshit to me.

As far as self-modding posts i alluded to it earlier. It's bullshit. It's simply for show and at best a bad example. It relates to reserving the right to gripe people out for specified reasons as prescedence for relevance was set in the OP.

In short i laid out the rules of this thread in the OP and as inconsequential as it is i made every attempt to keep it to the incredibly small criteria i laid out. It might also be fair on my part to note that the response i gave you was the most civil attempt at holding the thread to the criteria i laid out and now you're coming off all bummed out over it.

I don't understand exactly where you're coming from here. Were i you i'dve either posted something about in game retards, expected to be told not to do the this game > that game bullshit in about the most abusive terms possible given the venue and protagonist, or simply not posted at all if the first two options were either more than i was really interested in or if being told that i was off topic was going to somehow bewilder and confuse me.

For the last time, this really wasn't necessarily a WoW based post. It was an observation of MMO players in general.

Y'all kind of did reinforce his theories =)
