In fact, I'm doing precisely what you say most RPers do--steal elements. I've taken the Echo, for instance, albeit a different and likely never to be self-realized form of it, and membership with the Grand Company. But fair enough, I see your point all the same and the wisdom in it. Especially because I've picked and chosen, I shouldn't be judgemental of others who've done the same.
Ack! I wasn't meaning to call you out specifically.
I see that you, like most people, pick and choose what fits your story. I was commenting on the relative number of people who turn the "story and lore from the MSQ" dial all the way down to zero being a small minority, not saying that you're in that category. I see I wasn't as clear about that as I should have been, for which I apologize.Funny enough, while in game, L'yhta has served Ifrit many times (I feel bad for people waiting on a healer), I don't RP her as having encountered him even once. I do, however, expect to write it into her story at some point when it fits and is appropriately epic, and I certainly feel other players have the same right to do so (or not, as they see fit).
