Natural Disasters = Don't Play Games.

Problem?

:trollface:

I honestly don't know where the motivation to post about the SAME crap I heard 1000 times in the past few days AGAIN.

is it really so interesting to discuss this over and over in such quick succession? if you wanna cry about it cry about it in silence as you read the first thread on this topic it'll have all the things you wanted to say and you will be relieved, every opinion in this thread has probably been stated a billion times now in different ways (same ***different arsehole) and the outcome of it is always useless so PLEASE stfu now. ktnx.


also agreed.

I lol'd.

That is terrible! I didn't think FFXI would have a population of Christian zealots, but I guess you never know.



So, you're life-experience is practically zero and we should take what you say seriously? You do realize there is no age restraint on altruism? Plenty of teens volunteer their time. Sounds like somebody is trying to legitimize their pity party.

My mind is just blown at how sooo many people are misinterpreting the message the OP is trying to get across..."Uhh dumbass the servers arent in Haiti".....no *** ***sherlock...(Reading Comprehension) Do You Need It?

Don't even try bro, I tried way back to explain it to them, but their thick *** skulls just don't get it.

Some really low level thinking going on in this thread.

lol yea ill take your word for it.

Sai, we haven't really seen eye-to-eye on most of this, but I do have to say kudos for this little gem earlier!


I've kind of had the urge to kick you in the balls next time i see you around Caitsith, but I can't do it to someone who can police idiocy the way you did.

Well it's a week to do other things guys!!!

lol

And I hope for the best for the japanese people.

man thats *** bs how they dont have power yet they still reporting ***on tv *** slackers

Hey, if we don't see things the same way thats cool. I'm not overly concerned that people agree with me or even what people think about me in general.

What's getting on my nerves in these threads are A. People being complete jackasses for no reason ie. making "deserved this" comments or posting stupid *** pictures in a failed troll attempt (go to 4chan if you want to do that) and B. People who think they are the damn Moral Police and feel they have the right to tell everyone else how we should all feel about the situation.

If you are feeling bad about the situation and feel the need to donate your money/time to aid then go for it.

If you don't give two flying *** about Japan and what happened and are just pissed off about the loss of your game then good for you.

Why people feel the need to police compassion is beyond me. If you feel a certain way and wanna come talk about it its cool man, but at least try to think your ***through first, realize people are going to have different opinions than you do, and understand that just because people don't feel the same way you do does not some how make you morally superior to them.

Example of a good post.


Example of a post that is nothing but asshatted ***.

I am just surprised the servers were even on line the day of the Big one TBH.

I do hope they come back soon, partially to get back to my video game, and partially because it would mean some semblance of normalcy is restoring it's self there.

I really hope they can get those reactors under control. That is a lot of population in a small area. 2 nuclear tragedies on their soil in the last 100 years would be pretty shitty.

Also OP is a tard.

Does it make you feel good picking on 17 year olds? What exactly did he say that pissed you off so much? Just because somebody feels bad about what happened in Japan doesn't mean they should go out to Japan and volunteer their time. I think it makes more sense for the people bashing these people to volunteer their time since they're obviously offended that someone else isn't. You're speaking in an authoritative tone but you probably have no authority on the matter. If you haven't volunteered your time to helping Japan, don't bash people who haven't. They're guilty of the same ***you are. EVEN IF you have volunteered your time, don't bash people that haven't. It makes no sense.

I stopped reading the thread here, because this post describes what I experienced. I was in abyssea at the time and when they gave us a time for the server to drop, it was 40 min or so from what time it currently was. We stopped our abyssea group and logged out.

Sometimes disasters broadcast on the news don't really hit as hard as they should. Once they take something away from your actual life, even if it is something as silly as a videogame, your recognize just how real and scary the disaster truly is. I donated to red cross soon after, after reading the idea on these forums.

I worry so much for the people there. The reactor stuff is scaring me quite a bit too. Losing a game, in the end, is inconsequential. Maybe for the next week (or more) we'll spend lots of time reaquainting ourselves with things in life we can appreciate.

Heart goes out to those suffering right now. ~<3

ffxi servers going down, sort of insignificant in the world's perspective

real reason this is serious compared to those earthquakes mentioned by op is this

japan is actually important, and this sets back the world

Wintermute0, that was hardly "picking" on someone. I think there are plenty of people who would agree. These boards are full of threads where people go back and forth. Isn't that what this is about?

Anyway, I think he can put on his own "big boy pants" and address me if he feels that butthurt about it. Which, like most of us, he probably doesn't.
