Uh, sorry? I got annoyed to the point where I felt the urge to post finally.
Your lack of any points in your defense except for "hurrrrrrr he's spreading eden propaganda" doesn't bode well for your arguments. You're incredibly one-sided, unable to see from other points of view. It makes it seem like you're only protecting the integrity of your character by making sure new and returning players keep the server alive for you to play on and show off to regardless of the fact that so much of it is broken in damn'ing ways. It's like you're unable to admit that it has flaws because of that. It's not like Eden isn't without its own issues, its system stability for example pales in comparison and zones crash a fair bit more than Nasomi, you can't delete characters, crafting above 60 is a bit easier than retail (whereas Nasomi is a bit harder), etc. But at least actual content isn't bastardized there. My bad though, I should know that no Zeni system, free/cheap Dynamis entries (which already make my relics feel less special), and easy COP missions, etc. are 'features'.
Cool. Go play on Eden.
Like, I'm not saying much of anything else because it's simply not important. Nasomi has flaws. Of course it does.
Eden has some stuff that's more retail accurate. It has some stuff that is even more broken than ANYTHING on Nasomi. The Mog Wardrobe system and being able to access everything in your wardrobes from outside of town is one of the biggest possible buffs to players ever, especially when addons that would automate the usage of wardrobe are only on the "Well maybe we won't allow them in the future but for now we kind of just frown in your general direction" list.
CoP missions are more difficult! Well, okay. They weren't that hard to begin with - pugs would have a lower success rate, but any organized group or even a pug group that stuck together for more than a couple of hours would still be able to do it. But I'll bet you anything Sea is more era accurate on Nasomi than it will be on Eden - hell, the latest news post is talking about how they've gone to current day retail to capture sea implementation details. And current day sea sure isn't era accurate sea.
But you're here going on about how Nasomi doesn't have ZNMs... Eden doesn't either. It doesn't have Cerbr/Khim/Chimaera. It doesn't have Dynamis Xarcabard, or Dreamlands Dynamis. You're sitting here and ragging on Nasomi about not having a system that the server you're lauding doesn't either, while it's still missing plenty of content that Nasomi does. So yeah, you come across like a propagandist.
Eden isn't era. Nasomi isn't either - but it doesn't claim to be. For better or for worse, Nas has decided he wants to do things that weren't era accurate. Square didn't get everything right. Nasomi doesn't either, but you're talking about how the kettle is black when you're a cast iron pot.
I kind of regret spending a few minutes writing this much shit, because nothing you've said is actually enough to deserve it. But it's all pretty simple: Anyone going on the Eden forums arguing about how Nasomi is better is a dickhead. Anyone coming on the Nasomi forums arguing about how Eden is better is a dickhead. If you want to play on Eden, go play on Eden. But stop being a dickhead.
