Holy cow.
You know, when you initially said this:
I didn’t want to think that you were ACTUALLY going to go and imply that because I didn’t critique one person enough for you, despite my one statement towards them… being a critique, not a praise, (although an understanding one, since I sympathized with reason why he would get upset) I was associated with them in RL.
I really wanted to believe that was just a weird statement, I put it aside, because the alternative was that you were legitimately discounting my opinion, because I have a female name, and agreed with someone that wasn’t you.
I didn’t respond to your initial post because, beyond that creepy statement, you firmly and enthusiastically missed the point of quite literally everything I was saying, I should have expected this probably, given I read everything, but I wanted to try anyway. Seeing your response however, just informed me pretty clearly you weren’t there to actually exchange ideas, you wanted to win some sort of argument you thought you were having. It confirmed my suspicions, and additionally, made me feel uncomfortable, so much so that I really didn’t even want to look at the thread anymore.
And then, I saw this, when this thread kept popping up repeatedly today:
And I thought, oh, surely I missed something that Alterros said regarding some lady friend or whatever, surely he isn’t implying what I thought with that last really creepy statement he said, right?
and now this.
Do you know why I made this account and messaged on this thread? It was right there in the very first sentence of what I had said to you:
You, based on your statements previous to that post, told me that you were in RP spaces, and that you were in areas I was also in, it also told me that you had a low opinion of people that aren’t acting the way you do.
You’re essentially a peer along with me in the same areas, making a terrible name for people like me, and unfortunately, like you. I said you portrayed yourself with an ego because you couldn’t help but talk about the self importance you feel towards the gear you grinded out or titles you earned, and the bald-faced cruelty you showed people that don’t act the way you want them to, something that was immediate (in your second post), and out of nowhere. I was hoping that if you looked back at what you said, you would understand that it’s not okay, I was hoping that if I phrased it the way I did, that you wouldn’t take offense, because I meant none, but my feelings were earnest.
I wanted to point out the flaws in your understanding of the system, the underlying connection that people form when they create and adventure with their characters, how the outfit they have, how they look, is all parts of that, and that the way you came about getting those appearances is oftentimes secondary to people as a whole. That by supporting a system that is needlessly restrictive, it prevents people from forming those valuable connections both with their character and with each other. I pointed out that that system you want so badly, still exists within the D3 system, it just additionally makes it more accessible for other people that have different values than you, and simplifies the process. I thought OP’s solution was well thought out and I supported it as a baseline to work from, I didn’t feel I needed to criticize him for anything other than getting a little heated.
And then, you decided to assume my gender, assume that my opinions on the matter didn’t matter, and that I was just some sort of ‘employed person sent to dogpile you’ as you so kindly put it in the statement you edited over due to flagging, (since I saw the flagged message, read it, and came back to see the ‘new’ unrelated one) for this person I just happened to agree with.
You are not a kind person, and I would kindly ask that in the future, you not judge me on my appearance, discount my opinions, and then go so far as to insinuate that because I don’t agree with you, and present as a woman, that “I surely must be dating the OP”
Please listen to what I said to you the first time, since you apparently need introspection far more than I initially thought. Until then, please stop being a complete, and total creep, because that was really gross. thanks.
p.s for the rest of you, My next suggestion is that I would love to see the future transmog system combine with a barber system, so we can adjust our hairstyle/face based on our new armor. It would streamline the process so we come out with a more completed look, and avoids needless running around. You can even use angry earth lore to justify an npc that can do this, as they have transfiguration magic, and have transformed into multiple different things in numerous instances.
