[quote]Wow, kid. “A lot of other [unspecified] people misuse words they don’t understand, too,” is quite the defense. You could’ve gone with a simple mea culpa, but why do that when you can pretend you’re somehow on the cutting edge of language evolution instead of someone caught using words he doesn’t understand?[/quote] I never used a word I didn't understand. I used improper spelling of a word that I did understand. That's quite a simple concept, and your failure to grasp that means you a. Are dishonest and intentionally framed it in a way you thought was more incriminating or b. Have no understanding of the subject matter and are at best no more qualified than I am. [quote]Like basic vocabulary, you simply don’t understand what a casual gamer is.[/quote] You really tried to keep harping on this, but by doing so you showed everyone you don't understand the difference between incorrectly spelling something, and using a word's meaning incorrectly. You dug your own grave, now lay in it. [quote]But we’re supposed to believe you’re super smart and use unimpeachable logic, otherwise?[/quote] Here is another problem. I never hype myself up and say my logic is infallible, but you constantly do only to try and tear it down. You are constantly constructing strawmen. You act like I said or did something, only to tear your false representation of me down. And the funniest part is... [quote]You’ll also want to learn that making things up about someone else in order to create something to argue against isn’t logic. It’s even got a formal name as a fallacy, it’s so common and so egregious[/quote] You tried to call me out for using it (which for some reason you didn't point specifically to where I did use it, I assume because you can't actually find it and are just making things up) when you have been doing it this entire time. You keep pretending that I'm the only one who wants this, and that's the biggest sign to anyone reading this that you really aren't arguing in good faith. You completely ignore all the other requests for this and try to pretend this is an isolated demand. [quote]“Respect my time!” is simply the refrain of entitled children who want things handed to them. You don’t want to put in the time to level, so you think it’s unfair that you have to—you want to do endgame, but want it dumbed down so you can do it on your terms. [/quote] This is one of the biggest misrepresentations of my argument you have made so far, congratulations. I never said I wanted end-game content to be dumbed down. I want the requirements to do them to stop arbitrarily changing when there is actually nothing else to learn. I don't want them to hand me the loot from the raids that I refuse to learn how to do, I want them to stop barring me from doing them when I have already proven myself time and time again. I never said I didn't want players to prove themselves before doing content. I said Bungie utilizes the power system in a way to arbitrarily increase the grind, not to teach the player anything new. I have no problem leveling up to prove myself, the problem comes in when you have to prove yourself again and again despite nothing changing. I have made this abundantly clear in my post, you just chose to ignore it. [quote]That's not how life works[/quote] This isn't life... This is a game. I feel this is obvious to say but your comparison falls flat because you try to equate a game's grinding systems to real life, and your argument is that... Because in real life you have to work hard to achieve things, it is the duty of the game to provide tedious and monotonous grinds to simulate real life? Do you actually live a real life? You know, with a job. Because more often than not people play games to escape the monotonous grind of real life, not to embrace it. The only reason I could see this grind being worthwhile for anyone is if they aren't a productive member of society and want to feel like they are accomplishing something meaningful, but more importantly to have a simulated world where they can come across as more powerful than other players because they have the time to waste on the grind. This is why they would argue for grinding because that's where they find worth in their lives, their ability to spend time on things like this so they can have access to content others can't. That's quite pathetic. [quote]If your time were actually valuable or worth respect, you wouldn’t spend it so frivolously demanding a video game bend to your will and revamp its content to be more convenient for you. [/quote] You quite literally implied that people on the forums are spending their time frivolously if they want to try and improve the game. How exactly does this help your argument? Assuming what you say is true, then Bungie has not been receiving player feedback at all, and none of the changes they have made were ever based on it. Who would play a game like that? If a game is not convenient for the player they won't play it. Convenience doesn't equate to laziness. Convenience is one of the core things businesses look at when creating any product, including a game. [quote]it's not Bungie's job to respect your time[/quote] Yes, it is. This is a product that relies on consumers to play it. It is absolutely their job to respect my time and the time of others. That is quite literally how games work, to not drive away your audience and cut off your revenue stream. And you end with the stereotypical "haha you're just a kid" just as you started the post, in your hopeless attempt to harm my credibility without actually addressing my argument. If I were a kid, and if I were to assume you weren't, that would be devastatingly embarrassing to you, not the "kid" you are arguing with. If a kid beats you in an argument, the kid isn't the embarrassment just because they happen to be a kid. You carry the shame because you have lived longer and don't have as many excuses.

Stop it or I will report you...... for them sick ass rebuttals lol. 10/10 A+

WOW. “There are so few ballet fans left, Guardian, it would be a shame to lose you.”
