If that's how you sincerely thought about this thread and myself for having a very different idea about a concept that may or may not work, I'll simply accept and respect that as your opinion.Â
As I mentioned roleplaying is something very new to me and I've yet to transfer over to Balmung to try it out. I do apologize if some of the ideas I wanted to work with simply sounded retarded in your own words. I'll admit as someone who was invited to play Heavensward with friends, I did end up trying to rush through the msq so that I can do current content with my friends who had been playing this game for years, as such I am what I am a complete amateur who might make mistakes by using ideas globally not accepted. This very thread was meant to put some of these raw ideas on the chopping board to have the more experienced roleplayers to give their insight as to what works and what definitely does not work. To great extent I see that the very idea is seen with much negativity (and hostility? lol) especially coming from you.
I do feel regretful if you truly felt that this was a thread designed to gain empty praises. The only other regret I have is that I seem to have greatly offended you and this might mean that I have little to no chance to join your linkshell for some Ishgard RP, something that originally attracted me to this site in the first place to try my hand at roleplaying. You might think I'm joking but I genuinely was attracted to the idea of a Ishgard RP though it's a pity that with such open hostility I don't think I'll be very wanted in that linkshell.
It's a recurring theme here: People will post threads asking for critique and then shoot down anything offered while they defend their concept they wanted critiqued, which is sort of the antithesis of asking for critique.
When adding hooks to your character, less is more. Doing one angle or gimmick well will always go further than having a dozen different things to give yourself an in to a situation.
