[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8817815, member: 6915329"] First off, you are misrepresenting what people have actually said. Secondly, people only said anything akin to this once you said "this monster is bad design" and chastised anyone who said it wasn't. I never gave it shapeshifting legs. Then why complain that people altered them to make the monster cooler? That much is clear. I pointed out that I made no changes to its presumed biology or stats, and the only thing I changed was whether or not it was a wild creature or not. First, here you go again--saying your opinion is the objective truth and anyone who has a different idea is wrong. Secondly, it "reducing it to an inanimate object" is [I]not [/I]what I said at all, [I]and, [/I]in the right hands, is cool as all get out: [ATTACH type="full" width="744px"]265658[/ATTACH] Dark Crystal, Skesis carriage, wheel made of giant pillbug. [ATTACH type="full" width="562px"]265654[/ATTACH] Kill 6 Billion Demons, Juggernaut's cycle, wheel made of the shades of dead sinners. But to me, that's [I]less [/I]cool. [B]Then stop saying other people are wrong when they say the monster is perfectly well-designed to them.[/B] (times 6) You stated your opinion. If you admit your opinion is not objectively true, then that's it. You don't need to repeat it whenever anyone else has a different opinion. You don't need to tell people that their ideas of how to to use the monster are bad or only work if they change the monster. Because if objectively correct opinions do not exist, then everyone else's opinions are just as valid as yours. If you [I]continue [/I]to attack other people's ideas by saying things like "You realize I never responded to that because reducing a monster to the role of an inanimate object... really just speaks to how poorly designed the monster was to begin with," then that is proof that you think your opinion is more valid than mine.
