Just because you disagree with a design choice does not make it lazy, lazy implies little work, thought, or effort went into the design, and for those of us who actually enjoy the design calling it lazy instead of just saying you don't like it or you feel it is lazy (as you said there being a difference between feeling and declaring) feels somewhat condescending.(12-21-2014, 07:46 PM)Zyrusticae Wrote: They took the easy way out, plain and simple. I will call it 'lazy' because that's how it looks in my eyes and you are entirely within your right to disagree with that assertion, but there's no point trying to argue that it should not or cannot apply in this instance. I'm not pretending to be 'objective'. I'm just telling you how I feel.
You can feel however you please as that is not something anyone should allow themselves to get worked up over, but don't expect not to be found unfair for blaming the devs for doing something "wrong"(calling them lazy implies it) and not be called upon by people who find your unfair comments.... well, unfair. After all, it is an arbitrary and direct criticism of the devs taken from 0 known facts about why the chose the design they did... and an indirect criticism towards those who really like how the class turned out.
Call it petty if you wish but there is a significant difference between "feeling" something was lazily designed and "declaring" it to be the case. I'd argue that even "feeling" such would be a prejudicially, misplaced concept but this, to me, is really feeling increasingly redundant as something to debate over because, as you said, it's largely irrelevant to the topic at hand.
(Again Ashren, I apologise if I am misrepresenting your opinion from earlier).
I suppose the best term here is "phrasing," it is like going to an art gallery. Person A thinks the art looks amazing and says so. Person B thinks the art is shit and declares that it is shit. Rather than the person who enjoys it feeling there is merely a difference in opinion, they feel like their own opinion is being attacked.
