Well I really have no motivation to reply to all that. The only reason I replied in the first place was because I was on an impassioned "defend something I like from its critics" fit. But it's gone now.

Honestly WK I do very much respect your opinion because you're obviously intelligent. Which is why when an obviously smart person like you critiques something I like, it makes me think there must be something very much wrong with the game and I'm just dumb for liking it.

But eh. That insecuirty comes and goes and I'm feeling pretty okay and calm right now.

I'll say this though about Shuyin's revenge thing. I notice it happens a lot in fiction. A person starts with seeking revenge against people who did them wrong but then they take it out on people who really did nothing to them. They seem to get lost in the anger of it all.
Acually, that happens a lot in real life too...probably why it happens so much in fiction. Art imitates life or whatever.
