Mina, to me, is one of those crazy "anti team green" tinfoilers who thinks that because a person has a Gallente forum avatar they're somehow aligned to making Gallente OP and bringing everyone else down and that is all he will see regardless of rhyme, reason, or evidence. It's incredible how of all the races that get brought up for debate on the forums, Gallente are the only ones that are ever bias...

I stopped dealing with him [Mina] a while back because as much as I tried to read between the lines of what he was trying to say it always came off as the same thing: He's right and everyone else is wrong. I mean, hell, even when it comes to opinions and intuition he's still trying to contradict people and tell them that they're somehow erroneous.

Suppose we'll just have to wait for this aforementioned evidence.

EDIT: But, yanno, it'll probably be the same thing it always is when someone claims bias: Cherry picked posts from months/years ago that extrapolate only a certain outlook while ignoring any other factor or variable that would conflict with that evidence...

Breakin is correct in that typically my issue with his designs are "Well it seems to check out mathematically, but we really need to to test it in the field to see how it plays and feels" and Breakin usually responds with "***** please my numbers are 1337 as ****" and I nod approvingly and insist we still need to test it in game, and he nods approvingly, and then we shake our fists at a lack of a proper testing environment.

I mean here's the deal for me. Numbers are great, I love working with them because they're very good at getting you close to the right answer. Unfortunately they really suck at fine tuning, simply because it is impossible to quantify every aspect of gameplay. So while you can get close to the right answer with a spreadsheet, you need to test that data in game and then make minor adjustments accordingly based on how it feels and performs.

What I don't react well to is feedback that calls for drastic changes and is based entirely off of how something feels. As an extreme example, players like spkr4thedead would try to argue "Tanks are underpowered, buff base hp to 12,000 so they're at least viable." Which doesn't even make sense.

I'm short, its fine to base minor changes off of how something feels and performs in the field. But for drastic changes, I'm always going to go the numbers first because they are more reliable in that particular application.

Well that's not really an example of me not taking the feedback of someone's 'feel' because I'm focused on numerical data. In the example you're referring to, we were simply disagreeing on your qualitative opinion of myofibs vs my qualitative opinion on myofibs.

I'm not exactly sure how you thought I was supporting my position with numbers other that "I don't think people should be able to jump 30 feet in the air on a whim".

Sorry it took me so long to respond to this. I couldn't quite do your bullshit justice while I was on mobile for most of the day.

I am not 'anti-gallente' in any way, I actually try to keep balance in mind for any and all of my suggestions. However when balance problems come up for gallente weapons, quite a few members of 'team green' have either insisted nothing is wrong, or have insisted that [thing] being overpowered is totally okay. I tend to pay more attention to 'team green' because of my own leanings but that doesn't mean that no one else has ever been biased on the forums ever, or that I've never taken exception to them being idiots about it. As a brief example... I'm pretty sure that you think absolutely nothing is wrong with myo stacked fits... despite the fact that they are demonstrably missing a stacking penalty on their jump speed... and I'm sure that something that's so clearly broken wouldn't be abused by you at all, Oh wait, you run myo stacked fits all the time and are literally exploiting something that is broken and not working properly.

You stopped 'dealing' with me because I tend to point out when you act like a child, find fundamental flaws with your ideas and ask you questions that you find uncomfortable about those flaws, or I openly and aggressively contradict your whiny self-aggrandizing little crap (usually "waah i'm such a victim" crap). I don't really expect someone who acts like a child so often to be capable of 'dealing' with someone who usually acts like an adult.

I'm entirely willing to admit when I'm wrong Aeon... provided I'm actually wrong, and usually I am not. I will admit that I am stubborn individual and I love a good argument, I pride myself on having a decently wide range of knowledge about a lot of subjects and when I approach a discussion I tend to approach it armed with facts, evidence, knowledge and well reasoned arguments... To you this may come off as an "I'm right and you're wrong and I'm going to be condescending about it", and it probably on some level is because generally when I get into these 'discussions' I am right and the other person is wrong, demonstrably so.

About your 'opinions and intuition', those can certainly be wrong as the brain likes to do these fun little things called logical fallacies, or people like to make kneejerk 'judgements' based on incorrect or incomplete information. There is a world of difference between opinion (which is fallible) and informed opinion (which is supported by facts, evidence and well reasoned arguments). Christ they teach this **** in ****ING ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, are you honestly telling me that you are incapable of more intelligent and developed reasoning than CHILDREN aeon? These are basic critical thinking skills that move people away from making judgements predicated on unsubstantiated opinions and sentiments. Critical thought is how we come to and find TRUTHS.

Intuition is not a truth - it is a rush of thoughts and feelings, it can be a source of a truth that is later confirmed by rigorous examination, but it is not a truth itself. The same is true of opinion.

I know its horrifying sorcery to suggest this, but there are things in this universe that can be known, and it is possible to demonstrate them, because they are known.

Maybe I should differentiate 'opinion' and 'informed opinion' the way professors do... with the terms 'opinion' and 'informed understanding', because that better represents the difference between the two.

Didn't that whole team green thing happen 1 month ago?
