FFXI people armor stats and gil....... goin down hill

[wolfskymoon]

Players,armor and subjobs :-
Ok i dunno why, but day by day i'm finding out that most ppl who play ffxi have mental and emotional problems or most of them are perfectionalists or w/e.First of all u guys make crazy ideas spread them and then u arent willing to accept anything else.Like lets say u have in mind that the best is rng and blm u still should consider that other jobs are equally balanced also, and do a good job in different setups.(Btw i hear this new stuff about not inviting wars sams dragoon and others) .K lets say u get 10k exp an hour still whats gonna happen in the end?.You'll get to 75 abit faster or something.In the past two weeks two of my friends left game cuz they couldnt get party this is totally insane.Like most whms have this in their comment [ veteran].Wtf u mean by veteran.I mean i hate that guy with that on his comment.One day he was new too what about then and now he leveled a whm or something to level 75 and he wants veterans for some reason i dont understand.THis game is goin no where but downhill.Everyday the stat requirements are increasing along with the price of items.Just look at the price of emperor hairpin its freakin 670k and this guy said to me "Hey if i was u i wont tank without a emp hairpin" and i was like wtf .I think either a handful of ppl who have nothing to do but makin their wives work for them while they farm ,or Gil sellers are encouraging this trend of [the best stats] [ best armor] [ and 100s of hrs spent into game].i mean my friend is a level 52 for two weeks and this sunday hes quitting game if he cant get level 54 by sunday (he waits hours and hours waiting for party and he has nice armor too and monk and nin subjob.Then i dont see tailorfw online for a while maybe he quit or something and that guy helped me and others for hrs and hrs and got almost nothing back.He was helping some friend get rdm AF and another whm started yelling at him cuz he was 56 and didnt have raise 2. (He wasnt partying those days).We were about to try farming some mobs together but he hasnt logged in two weeks.

Mages:-
FFXI gave whms the ability to raise and BLMs the ability to warp.but unfortunately a large number of players just walk over corpses or refuse to warp at all.Like if u spend half a minute and 100 mp on a guy to warp him back to jeuno how much would it hurt you? it wont obviously take you 30 to 50 mins. And not raising someone just because he was in ur camp is pointless also cuz i'm sure that guy is gonna come back and camp their again or try to take revenge some other day.Hence more garbage.
Gil:-
So what i mean to say is day by day this game is becoming [incred - tough] for college students who need to study for their future,ppl who work long hrs and students like me.Also people in Ffxi are greedy as hell for something that doesnt even matter much.I mean Nm drops are suppose to be rare and ppl are campin em like fck and are botting them.People are so crazy that they buy gil online with real money and encourage the gil selling (Shame on you dude).
Other games ;-
I play WoW along and i was so damn impressed by that game.People actually help each other out.I entered this new guild and i asked questions and no one called be [ noob - this word doesnt make any sense].
my guild leader welcomed me and gave me tips about how to level in different areas and also came on his mount while he was passing through and gave me 4 bags and dagger that i couldnt afford at that moment.I leveled skinning fast and soon i got requests for leather and and armor and i happily made armor for them and we kinda helped each other out.No need for uber gear but u must have ur level gear and try to borrow/loan from a fellow player.Alliances went and tried out monsters and if someone died they didnt whine like their whole life was turned upside down.Their might be some cheaters but atleast they dont effect the community or players or the auction house.WoW is not a better game or anything its almost the same but the community in their is alot better and caring/sharing as compared to ffxi players.LoL i never cried in two years and i was playing ffxi and i had tears in my eyes.... now thats freaky isnt it....whats goin on in here.I think maybe ppl got used to this behavior after playing with japenese who had language barrier .Sorry for typing this much and i hope u can understand my point and make sense of it.Games are suppose to be fun especially online ones where u try to beat monsters together instead of feasting on each other and making fun of each other's armor.

The eliteist atitude stems from this concept. I am going to guess the Veteran comment had to have been Garvin, he was the one who got me to start doing it. Time is money. When I am stuck in a PT with fellow lvl 50s who have NO IDEA whatsover what they are doing and can not even put a half assed effort into their job I am pissed. I could be doing numerues other things, varying from making gil to hanging out in my LS chatting it up with friends. When I go to a party the Party comes first, I treat it very seriuesly, people are depending on me and I am depending on them. I do all that I can to hold up my end of the bargain, when they fail to do what they should be as well. I do not need to spend 4+ hours of my life in a party filled with a wide lvl range, people who have shit gear and worse spells, and no DD. There is no replacing a real DD end of story. Lets see a Samurai or DRG whip out a sharpshot slugshot then barrage it for alot more TP. Lets see them whip out a 1200+ dmg Magic burst, or better yet cast Water 3 on the mob and basicaly rip it a new one.

I have no intrest in making anything under 4k an hour, when I can barely pull off 3k with a group of 57-58s??!!! Why is it I had less party incompatence in the dunes with no subs. No I know the answer to that. The game gets HARDER the higher lvl you get, people where making the same mistakes with the same craptastic gear and underlvled subs, but snippers are a whole lot more forgiving then robber crabs.

The only excuse for an underlvled sub is laziness. If you can not spare the effort to level up your subjob then I will not spend the effort on an invite. The stats that it adds would cost hundreds of K in armor. Yet people refuse to do it. The same goes with spells. If you tried you can make the gil. As a 52ish WHM it took me 1.5 weeks to amass the necessary gil for BOTH and then some to buy myself Red cape +1, morion earings, and get clothcraft up further.

These people who can not get their sub up or can not afford an important scroll whine how they are trying to make gil and they can't do it. They blame it on crafting being to costly, or farming to slow or hard. They spend more time excusing and defending their failings then actualy working to fix said problem.
To quate Sean Connery in the Rock, "The loser's whine about their best, the winners go home and fuck the prom queen"

Stop worrying about why others are not helping you and start worrying about being able to help yourself.
