1. I am not saying that you will say these things to me. I am saying that I will be receiving things like that from random people.

2. "Demonstrably weaker as a group"? I doubt that. There are more female servants in the game, therefore, more weak female servants.

3. No you do not "question" my "utility as a support". This is called "friend support", not "servant rental service". You are not my customer, so you take it or leave it. And let me remind you this, if you text me in game questioning about my support, you are one of the "why do you use these, they are weak and useless" ones.

@NZRdl If... IF... we knew each other outside of our support lists, you could say that we are each others' "friend" support. But that's not true. ESPECIALLY because we can't text each other and form a relationship unless we do it here on message boards like this one. Even if you don't like it, your support list IS a "servant rental service." Your friends ARE customers. If your friends don't maintain a good list, they don't stay as friends. And if they don't use your list you aren't getting friend points.

That’s the way you see it, not me. I have 1 friend in my friends list that I actually know. They will never be removed. I have 1 person in there that used to play that I knew personally. He will never get removed. I have 4 people on it that used to play the game that I’ve been friends with since game start. They’ve quit, but I’m never gonna remove them. And yes, I have the 50+ Castoria and/or Koyan meta supports available but I’ve never had to ask for them to deploy those servants because everyone just knows. I have dozens of friends with support setups that I will never touch and I let them stay on it because I know they’ll probably get use out of my own. But never once have I felt the need to change my support list from the servants I like to different ones because someone on my list was being an incessant a-hole about it. The closest I’ve ever had to this was someone requesting I change the ascension dress for Arc which literally doesn’t affect me cuz I can split between friends and self anyways.

My point being that the friends list isn’t used as a servant rental service by everyone. But if I had people constantly messaging me requesting a specific servant CE combo and I didn’t know them, I would be annoyed.

Basically, to sum it up, if there was a messaging system, I'd delete anyone who messaged me multiple times unless I knew them personally. If there was an option to turn it off, I'd turn it off. If you don't like my supports, don't use them and find some whose supports you do like.

@Brichards719 I get it. Nobody wants to be nagged. But the point of messaging in this context is to coordinate support for exploits. Your friends want to replicate the routines they see on youtube videos, and they're counting on you to fill in the gaps in their own roster. We don't have to get mad about that. Most of us want to help each other. Don't YOU want to help your friends or colleagues, or however you think of us? I spent a lot of money to get my team up. I have almost everybody. I've got most, but not all craft essences. If somebody wants me to make a particular servant available with a particular CE, I'm happy to help. Why do all the responses here seem so angry to be contacted?

Agree. Imagine setting support servants just to NOT getting used by other people.

My job requires me to make short phone calls to Americans. I call them so that they can satisfy a trivial administrative requirement. It costs them nothing, and it keeps their bosses from nagging them because the chore isn't complete. My biggest problem is even getting Americans to answer the phone. They are SO paranoid about taking a call from an unrecognized number. Blame the scammers. I do. But, you could also grow up. If somebody calls you 5 times in 5 minutes, they aren't scammers. You need to take the call. IN THIS GAME, we could just help each other. Why so stingy... everybody? You hate to talk to your fellow humans so much? It's sad that this is the reason you choose a game with no contact options.

I'm happy to help anyone on my list I know, or have contact with such as on this site, reddit etc. but I want nothing to do with messaging. It's annoying to me and that's all there is to it. Also, Americans don't answer the phone because 99% of calls are scams. Unfortunately the people who do answer the phone are mostly senior citizens and frequently end up getting their bank accounts drained by said scammers.

@Brichards719 that is a good point. Wanna hear something crazy? That's an American problem. I'm here in Japan, with a Japanese phone number. I ALMOST never get called by spammers/scammers. Not even once a week. The Japanese figured something out. There must be a LEGAL BLOCKADE on scam calls in this country. America could learn a lesson from the Japanese, and then we could all go back to answering our phone. I always answer my phone here, even if I don't recognize the caller, because almost 50% of the time it's a real person who I needed to contact. Or an innocent wrong number. Everybody, just move to Japan is what I'm saying.

It’s because Japan doesn’t speak English. Scammers are trained in English because it’s the most profitable language to conduct scams in.
