I've been stuck at level 59 for about a month now.
For the last week, I have gone out with my flag up almost every day with the idea.. "Today will be the day I hit level 60."
It hasn't happened.
I can deal with this though. I can deal with the idea that not every party is going to be great. I can even deal with shitty parties and slow xp, because xp is xp, and its not going to be pretty all the time.
I'm not happy about, but I can deal with, people in XP parties who aren't doing their job perfectly. I can handle paladins who don't voke enough, or heal themselves enough, and end up with all their MP at the end of the battle. I can deal with red mages who think their only job in an xp party is to MB after the blm and cast refresh on occasion. I can handle summoners who only summon fenrir to fight in a battle and don't listen to suggestions on how to be more effecient at their jobs.
Its the way the game goes. Some people suck at their jobs. I can handle that. Some people don't carry around sneak and invis oils and expect the mages to hold their hands through zones that they know are difficult to get through. I can handle that. Some people don't know about Guviere at level 60 and say, oh look at the dragon, and then die, leaving me to tractor their asses all the way through Kuftal.
I can handle dying trying to save my parties' ass while they run like hell through a zone on aggro when they "forgot to tell me their invis was wearing" or "dont need invis because I'm just going to run around the mobs" in Terrigan.
I can handle dying on my own accord because I didn't know that mobs popped on both sides of my party when its my first time in a zone. Its no ones fault but my own, and I can handle that.
I can handle getting only about 2-3k per xp session and getting to my level at an extroirdanarily (sp?) slow pace because some parties just aren't going to be as good as the ones that I had one or two levels ago, and people get d/c'd, and people have to go, and there just arent any red mages or bards or ninjas looking for party. It's just going to take me a little longer, but I can handle it, because thats the way the game goes.
It just is, and I've come to terms with that. I don't get angry about the little things anymore.
WHAT I CANT HANDLE is when my party is FREAKING AWESOME and people KNOW what they're doing, and we are bringing in about 4k an hour, and everyone is supportive of everyone else, and everything is going great...
THEN HALF THE FUCKING SERVER GETS DISCONNECTED LEAVING ME AND THE PALADIN TO FIGHT THE MOB WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF KILLING THEN LEAVING MY ASS TO DIE AGAIN.
I am -300 xp than I was last night because of YOU Square, I spent 2 hours last night trying to get 6k getting party and to camp and moving along, then waiting an hour for ONLY HALF OF MY PARTY TO BE ABLE TO LOG BACK IN TO KEEP PARTYING.
I AM SICK of this streak of bad luck that I am having - though I can handle every part of it UP UNTIL LAST NIGHT.
SQUARE, YOU SUCK. You are lucky that I have a static party leveling a job that I really enjoy and a group of people that I enjoy playing with, or else I would have honestly quit last night. My linkshell and my static are the ONLY two reasons I am playing this game right now, I want you to know that. I have HAD it with the xp party situation, I have HAD it with the bullshit drama that encases this game, but I can DEAL WITH IT.
I FUCKING CANNOT DEAL WITH HALF THE SERVER DISCONNECTING AT A TIME LIKE THAT.
Be warned, if it happens again, I am erasing you from my life. You have let me down in the past, and I have forgiven you. I have learned to live with your flaws and your mistakes. I have taken you back time and again when you promised me that you are getting help for these issues that are keeping our relationship from advancing to another level. I've seen you through your best and your worst, and I admit you have been there for me in the past during my hard times, but I am at my wits end and I can't see our relationship going anywhere until you get your issues fixed. I thought we had something together, but time after time you prove to me that you don't really care about our relationship unless it entails some kind of benefit for you.
So here I am. You can have me for now, I will keep doing my part, but I am watching you with a wary eye, and I will NOT be taken advantage of again.
Sincerely,
Pannda.
