Things that are indeed very wrong with FFXI:
1. People who knock any job at any level.
You think I give a rats ass my invites are going to suck 60+? You think I care that Dragoons get the 'end game omg' shaft? More so, do you think the other melee in my group matter to me in the least if I can still skillchain?
You think it matters one iota to me if in a few hour session job b will do a few grand more damage then job a? No, it doesn't. It was a party, and if it was fun then I don't care. I had a entirely craptacular pt today of ls people hanging out. Had a blast. Did stupid stuff.
All jobs get to seventy-five and it's entirely possable to do just about any event with any job. How many of you have seen the 6 x Paladin vs Dark lord video?
Yes, some are better then others at times. The right flavor job at the right moment can be key in this game. Do we have to discuss it for hours on end and knock on certain jobs when you KNOW you'll get one when it's not optimum anyway?
2. OMG NERF PATCH ITEM I FARMED WAS MOVED!
TP gain return got nerf, the game went on just fine. They moved astrals to BCNM, price went up and NOW people want to do Wings of Fury with me. Go figure. They need to start putting some money drops in Creeping Doom now too lol. Ranger got nerfed to all hell and everyone whines, I still plan to play my Ranger even if it becomes the next Dragoon. I play that as well afterall.
On an additional note to the mages who complained about thieves camping 'their' AF coffers. HAAAAA! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAAA! :lol:
3. Assholes
People who steal in-game items, MPK at a claim for an item, steal from a linkshell, act like a general pain in the ass to players, play a high demand job so they can get away with more behavier, and generally ruin the fun others have.
Why? Did someone take a bat to your head to make you think this is good clean fun? You're a sad existance if this is the only notoriety you can ever gain.
4. End game HNM/God obsessed FOOLS!
How long do you camp pop items, fight over HNMS, get MPK'd, de-lvl, spend hours at a time in a game for nothing. For what? A chance at some gil? A item you have to be 70+ to wear? What will you use them for? To get merit points? Unlock a ws? Sure it's nice to say 'oh we killed such and such and I got the BEST ITEM IN THE GAME THAT ONLY THREE PPL HAVE, but look at what you invest for such a paltry reward.
Paltry.
5. Overplaying
I know if I go with this gear instead of this gear I can get 3% more tp an hour and can do +12 dmg over and hour... seriously though, why should I give a flying fuck?
I'll use what I want to use, and trust me, you would need to run a parser for HOURS to tell me the difference. I'm not saying people should go gimp, but debating a +5acc ring and a +4 acc ring? Paying 200k for armor with +2 def then the NQ?
Why has this ever mattered so much?
6. I don't care.
Why haven't you done the proms yet?
They're a pain and I don't get any good gear.
Yeah, but it's new quests and missions, new areas to explore, new things to do you've never done before?
I don't care, I want to get to 75 so I can do gods.
What the fuck? I admit my first encounter with a buggard wasn't a nice one, but what is so wrong with a little fun outside shooting for a goal? Why do we need armor or levels to do something in this game?
How many people here *I want any repliers to acknowledge this if they read my post.* have done something in an rpg... just to see it?
If SE has made one effort towards the developement of an enjoyable game it is that they gave us quests and missions we give a damn about. That aren't just run to point a and get item x.
7. Whine about SE:
You can bitch about a lot of things SE has done to this game, but when has it ever really hurt the things about the game that are most enjoyable. Any job can get a fun party and a good one to boot regardless of any nerfs.
It's not SE's fault a job can't get a party. They may have made reasons to choose another job, but they NEVER made it where you can't have a fun party or have a good time.
You can still do missions, quests, and bcnms to your hearts content. Let's not forget all the events that come along either. SE has always held a dedication to making sure they are enjoyable if time consuming.
Let's face it, we all log a lot of hours, and while we have had some difficulties you can't pin any one thing on SE alone. Not one, but people sure try to complain anyway. As they continue to play this addictive and fun rpg... :roll:
8. Missing Out
So many people are missing out on so much fun in this game. It's about your xp per hour, how good your melee is on the dd tier, how much you make farming, what you can burst on an HNM or GOD, or how good your job is at x and y event.
Why, tell me why is this what people consider to be the meat and potatoes of this game?
Give me events wiht friends, parties made for the sake of partying, and not obsessing over end-game any day.
Have at me you curs! I didn't post this to be loved! I posted it to rant!
