See y'all are just proving how brainwashed you are by semantics. If Genshin locked characters to level 70 unless you buy the battle pass, then you're obligated to keep buying the battle pass each month to keep using your level 90 characters, and the 2 most recent cities required separate purchases, it would be fully agreed as shitty. Yet FF14 does all that...

"Short trial" and it's the entire game except 2 (soon to be 3) expansions
Soo, not the entire game. I have access to every "expansion" in Genshin impact for free. And FF14 still won't let me log in since my trial a few years back expired.

How exactly is FFXIV worse than other live service games?
Most successful live service games are free to play the entire game, with optional battle pass stuff for cosmetics and items that reduce the grind.

MMOs like FF14 charge a subscription fee up front to even play at all beyond the short trial period.

MMOs arent considered Live services now are they?
MMOs always have been live service, plus extra bs that makes them worse for consumers than traditional live service games.

So to be clear, if you take ten people, make the details of their life and upbringing exactly the same, down to the level of care, meals, etc. everything

a couple of those people will still be inclined to be better at thing X than the rest of the group?
To extrapolate on what I mean by the definition of natural talent being murky, following this example:
Life template A: Person 1 & 2 excel at the talent while everyone else is mediocre

Meanwhile a Life template B that is completely tweaked and used on the same 10 people: Person 4, 5, 6 and 7 are the best and everyone else fails to keep up the same way.

Which ones were truly natural talents? Just because person 1-2 develop better under one method and 4-7 develop better a different way, are either really "naturally" more talented than the others? Was template A really a better way to be raised if it produces fewer talented people?

Got a new job that was slightly dysfunctional with turnover when I started, but now after a year here working at the high level I'm accustomed to they're so caught up most days are just waiting for something to do. Feels like I'm devolving to a slug brain with how boring it gets.

4 million simply sitting in a 5% savings account generates 200k/year. You wouldn't even have to touch the 4mil to live comfortably forever.

what do you mean by non human spaces...though?
Plants and wildlife, obviously.

Overpopulation of humans doesn't mean the planet is 101%+ physically covered in human life. It means more humans than the planet's resources can sustainably provide for. People keep pointing out "how much non-human space there is so there can't be overpopulation", which is irrelevant to the discussion.

Requiring technology and fossil fuels to maintain the current human population absolutely points to overpopulation. Like there is literally no argument, unless you somehow think any non-human spaces existing on Earth is proof that there aren't too many people yet. Which is an extremely short-sighted take.

To use an analogy, imagine a medicine where 1/4 cup is effective, 26-99% will cause varying degrees of negative side effects, and a full cup would be guaranteed deadly overdose. We're currently at 3/4 cup and tolerating the side effects, but y'all are claiming it's not a problem until we go beyond 99%...

Objectively more humans than there should be. Being able to squeeze more humans onto the planet is irrelevant to the discussion.
