I expected from the get go that they wouldn't throw DT under the bus until closer to 8.0 when they can safely criticize themselves on what they did wrong and promise/build up hype for fixes for it. Since it makes no sense to go
>yeah our release sucked LMAO
when you still need people to play it.

Japanese culture is pretty hostile to modding. There's that banco namcai(?) slide about them denouncing modding, but XIV JPN players will report modders. As for the taste thing I think it's just that the average american does not have any sense of tasteful fashion, but doubly so that >>713685220. It's also that those who engage in that culture join into a community with a pre-established style and thus are obligated to largely adhere to it to fit in. I remember having someone complain that my character was not some giganigga Baki-ass-looking guy but just a regular highlander. If I wasn't self-assured in my tastes and not giving a fuck about that scene then I'd have had to get rid of that old yee yee ass vanilla-esque setup to get more bitches on my dick. Or better yet maybe T'anisha call my dog ass if she ever stop fuckin with that XIV club-owner or DJ scrotum player she fuckin wit niggaaaaaa

I keep wanting to try and get back into XIV RP to meet people but I'm sure there's going to be a real dissonance when all I've done is adjusted his hair, beard, and done a vanilla mashup while they look like they walked out of an NCsoft korean MMO.
