Niton posted:There are people who log on and don't raid, but they make up less than a third of the playerbase and, to be honest, I have absolutely no idea what they do. Auction baroning, roleplaying, hopelessly clinging to old content as 'fun' because now they can smash through it with their eyes closed, running in circles in their garrison and using their $15/mo program as a glorified chat room. I used to raid in WoW but after Cata I stopped having fun with it and stopped having time for it. Now I pretty much only play to help my wife and friends out with their poo poo, so if I log on and no one's doing anything I just chat with people or sell blacksmithing weapons on the AH; my wife is also an officer in a fairly large RP guild and I get to enjoy the drama that gets dumped on her, which is hilariously both exactly like and completely opposite to any of the drama I had to deal with as a progression raiding guild's officer. I also have no clue what this argument is about anymore but hey I'm still playing Wildstar's beta so there's that.  For whatever random reason I went from day 0 rewards to having the day 5 rewards the next day, and all the interim rewards as well.Turtle Sandbox posted:It's too bad, as the Char are the only race of "cat people" that aren't literally chicks with ears and a tale. The Cathar in SWTOR look like people who wear cat face paint. I don't think the even have tails.

Flesh Forge posted:Thanks for providing context that nobody else thought was necessary because everyone's got their heads so far up into FFwhatever's rear end in a top hat, I appreciate it. Back to square one (I'm still pretty sure less than 2-3% of the playerbase in any given MMO is doing the uber hard raid content at any given time because it's terribly unfun). Y'all can get mad at me for observing the emperor has no clothes though, that's to be expected I guess. hmm LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Time to get the backpedal goalpost moving no true scotsman argument about why you're actually right. I can't wait. It's almost like those "debate club terms" were actually just me making fun of you and predicting what you would do next rather than arguing any point. It is funny that you keep trying to use debate club as an insult, though. YoshiOfYellow posted:Implying anyone played them instead of elin.

I know that elin became popular in asia because of a combination of being the little kid race and their animations being slightly faster than everyone else's, so they had a very slight edge in pvp. Still hosed up.

Yeah it was the double whammy of being the most anime and also the best min max race. Its still pretty funny that just about everyone plays a female character in that game. Guys are completely shut down from trying any of the new classes. Blade and soul also had the thing where if you wanted to be a caster you had to be either a leggy woman or a furry animal.

I can't imagine that race and gender is being used to gate character creation in tyool 2015, but people defend poo poo design choices based around whatever RP reason is given so maybe there is a legit reason you have to be a 12yo girl to be this class.

The lore of the class is literally "one of the cute, happy, loli girls saw a bloodbath of her home and now she's edgy and angry isn't that cool and out of character for a cute loli girl". My options include living rock people, giants that become literal castles, and roly poly animal people but nope better be a 12 year old in lingerie with bonus edgy angst.

Turtle Sandbox posted:It's too bad, as the Char are the only race of "cat people" that aren't literally chicks with ears and a tale. It's not bad. Rox is the only one that really looks anime and even with her it is only the eyes. Goku hair is Goku hair but it still looks like a badass cat person ready to maul you to death. As an added bonus their race rejects the poo poo out of their gods and fully embraces technology. They also have some of the best melee animations in the game imo.

Morglon posted:Because they're pretty much off-brand Tauren.   Not really. They're both bulky beast races with horns inspired by minotaur, and from there they diverge a lot. Tauren are hippie Native Americans living in teepees, while the charr are a ruthless mashup of the Roman legions/Mongolian army with industrial age tech.

These guys look absolutely adorable. Shame that the little girl race torpedoes the rest of the game. Edit: The comparison pictures between tauren and charr also aren't as distinct because I chose features and clothing that were similar. Either race can get a very different look to it.
