He/Him, retired fighting game player and FF14 retirement home. JRPG enjoyer.
Raider on Light/Chaos. I enjoy GNB a lot nowadays but also play caster/phys range
ff14 raiding groups with a 9th man, analyst, substitute, bench warmer, strat maker, shotcaller, physiotherapist, personal cook and manager be like "no actually simming is cheating and takes away from the game"
if you simmed your ult clear it doesn't count. oh also looking at guides it doesn't count either. same with looking at other povs. As well as having a 9th man to help coach or to scout
no one has cleared any ultimate unless they reach every phase FIRST in a WF race
Simming for ultimate content is like preparing for a driver's test. You practice parallel parking, using your turn signals, and you keep your eyes on the road for anything that happens.
YOU still have to pass that test. Knowledge is one thing, hands on experience is another.
STOP comparing simming to AI, simming is like a meal prep service and raw dogging ultimate is like cooking from scratch. youre still learning to cook. youre still making the meal either way.
@Telayo proggers with 9th men are not getting an extensive amount of assistance themselves, such as being told literally 1 to 1 where to go in p3 black hole or the entirety of p4, yes, 9th men can fuck up themselves, but it is still an insane tool to have.
@Telayo No worries and sorry again for not knowing who you were this just came up on my tl and instantly responded. I do think that if people are trying to argue that 9th men are 1 to 1 the same as simming that is stupid, I just have seen takes on the other extreme acting as if world -
@InvaderWu@Regar_XIV I think if people are actively saying that simming isn't a form of cheating then yeah, they're also being disingenuous, I just think it's extremely ironic when it comes from people who actively don't need to engage with an entire phase of an ultimate due to a 9th man calling
@InvaderWu@Regar_XIV Simming is quite literally not against the TOS, where did you get that idea from. That's on the same park as saying using discord vc is against TOS. It's not in game.
@fusional@JerickaXIV did you even see what WP'ers had for p4 of DMU? People were literally saying while streaming 'thank god our 9th man calls p4 i have no idea how this phase even works'. I'm not saying sim isn't a crutch too it's just super ironic coming from them.
