@Neigh : Nope, "You were being insulting", sounds just fine.
I say anyone who had already bought the Azure Guardian/Aegis/Other basics recipes................
While I am on your side Neigh, I very strongly dislike your woman's logic comment...
I'm a girl too? ಠ_ಠ
So you go and compliment me on my comment, but then go insult someone for their counter-argument. While I don't agreed with them (I do agree with their argument but not with their take on this particular situation), I don't agree on your, yes, ignorant comment.
Also how do you Niichi's a girl? Simply by looking at their avatar picture? Did you think I was a boy? Simply because I have an adorable bellhop that I wish I could snuggle with as my avatar picture~? ;/
TL;DR Please people let's get back to constructive comments and ignore what happened -sigh-
If I'm not mistaken, to say, "You were being insulting," is to use the imperfect tense in describing the fact that you (at some point) were in the process of insulting someone or something. As such, to say, "You were being insulting," is completely proper.
That is all.
Grammar cop platypus says: makes perfect sense to me. And I don't think that's a regular meme, just one individual comicality captioned picture.
I assumed that he/she was a she because of the avatar. That armor set is usually owned by females. And no, that isn't sexist, it's a fact. If you disagree, think of this. If I see someone wearing a bra and short shorts, I can assume it's a girl, because it's most commonly worn by girls, not guys. not that guys can't, it would just be odd.
Is it "odd" or uncommon for a male player to want a helm with normal/shadow defense, poison/curse resistance, and a fiend damage bonus?
Is it "odd" or uncommon for a male player to think that that particular avatar looks better than the rest?
Is it "odd" or uncommon for a male player to think that that particular helmet/armor set looks better than the rest?
Is it really so "odd" or uncommon for a male to have a ponytail?
Let's see...from my experience (I'm a guy, by the way):
1) No. We all hate fiends and there are often times when we'd like to kill them faster. Shadow defense helps with that.
2/3) No. I myself tend to think that that avatar/set has a very clean design and if I had the in-game finances to obtain that set, there's a good chance that I would wear it. For what it's worth, I chose the Spiral Tailed Helm when I started because I thought the other two looked horrible, and I still do.
4) No. Going to a college with around 40,000 people in it, I see it a lot.
Is your thought process necessarily sexist because of what I've brought up?
No. I never said it was, I just told you to think of these things if you are going to continue to argue that it isn't.
I'm a guy and
.... I like ponytails.... q_q
My dad has a ponytail, and I don't mind. But you can't look at the Seraphic armor set and tell me it doesn't look feminin in any way.
But isint it Steryotipical? I mean I see people wear bomber and It look masculine yet I know girls who wear it.
I'm not saying that all girls wear it, I'm saying that the majority of people who do wear it are girls.
First off, who are you to tell me what I can or can't do?
Second, I never said it didn't look feminine. Maybe it does look feminine to some people. Maybe it doesn't to others. Really though, what does that have to do with anything?
Now, two notes on the original topic:
1) Using offensive language in the OP isn't going to help your case.
2) I highly doubt OOO is going to refund anyone for anything that can now be gotten through missions. The simple reason for that is that they don't really have a vested interest in doing so. If people spend energy to grind up crowns to buy recipes, that's money in OOO's pocket. The same argument applies to people who are upset with the Hall of Heroes making a lot of recipes readily available. If, in the past, people used energy to do T3 terminal runs (which have terrible crown payouts) in search of recipes, that's money in OOO's pocket. I guess if there would be any reason for refunding players it would be to keep them happy so they keep playing the game, but perhaps they've found that their playerbase is large/diverse enough that it doesn't really matter.
EDIT:
@Neigh-Knocker
How can you be so sure that the majority of people who wear Angelic-line sets are female?
@Schattentag
I would bet that many of those wearing Angelic are GIRLs as in
Guys
In
Real
Life
:D
Did any of you read the topic for the thread? or did you all just see my name, so you said "Hey, I'm gonna go mess with that guy 'cause I have nothing better to do"
Did you read my last post? or did you just see my name, so you said "Hey, I'm gonna go pretend I didn't notice because I want people to argue with me more 'cause I have nothing better to do"
You were discriminating/being offensive towards a player based on its gender. Does that sound better?
