No, I think pointing out someone’s mistakes is a good way to help them fix their mistakes. However I do not think pointing out their mistakes while being an arrogant jerk about it is a good way to help them fix their mistakes.
Can you actually point out any examples of arrogance in the messages I sent to him, or are you just relying on baseless insults here?

It was my opinion, so yes I believe I can "get away" with stating my opinion
Oh, don't misinterpret. I wasn't implying that you would face any trouble from our wonderful moderators or any such thing. Rather that, simply, everybody would laugh at you. Opinions are fine, but when they're based on petulant rage instead of logic, people tend to assign them less value.

Yes but it was the way you said it that made it seem like he was inferior.
Haha, could you get any more vague? If you're going to make accusations like this, you should at least be prepared to back them up

Yeah well maybe you wouldn’t of bought Everquest if it was spelled Everqeust but most people probably wouldn’t care about the name
Then evidently you have no understanding of the gaming public. Virtually nobody buys MMORPGs for pretty screenshots. They care about the reputation, the image. And what kind of image does a misspelled title present? One of unprofessionalism and lack of attention to detail.

Lets take the card game Yu Gi Ho for example. Lots of kids play it, they probably don’t know what the word "Yu Gi Ho" even means but they still buy the cards and play the game
Indeed they do. However, this does not support your point in any way, because you cannot show that, if there were an error in the title, the sales would be just as high. I'll grant that misspellations of Japanese words aren't as bad, since few amongst the target audience speak the language, but it's still a negative factor that simply doesn't have to exist. How long does it take to change the name of a playerworld that probably hasn't even started yet?

A tiny innocuous correction, Kaimetsu? Well last I knew you had just implied that the "tiny innocuous correction" was actually very important.
And last I knew, the words 'tiny' and 'unimportant' weren't actually equivalent. For example, a tiny change to a script can make a big difference, no?

And as for the word 'innocuous'... do you even know what it means?

And as for the mother stuff, I'm not even going to respond to that...
Why are you responding at all? Surely by now you know how this thing works.
