Seeking as Japanese... when you're not...

[Direwolf]

I have not leveled for a good session in god knows how long, I really don't even want to anymore. I really do not see how anyone could be a level whore unless you have a static.

That is why I (and I assume you as well) took up crafting.

Most of the time its just JP fan boy morons....I was talking with a friend last night about this and it makes me roll my eyes when an NA player says "ORZ" or "w"...

Definately more prevelant with the PC dorks....Its bad enough we all play an MMORPG, but really? Do you have to geek it up even more kissing JP ass?

Speak of that, what does that funny w mean?

w = warau

This is the Japanese equivalent of "lol" in english.

Bingo!

I think most would agree 60 is a rather big turning point. XP requirements go up without abandon and all those not so serious expers start to vanish.

Well one of the benfits of being a "level whore" is you can keep up with the same people static or not. You know who is good and who plays like shit. Once you're in the 60+ range if you seek PT a lot the chances are you'll meet up with the same people over and over again. If you're like minded in terms of how you like to exp thing'll work out pretty well. At least in my experiences. Like for my PLD I PTed a lot with Maseki, Genna, Saleh, Ujio cause we seemed to seek at the same time. With my BLM I PTed a bit with JSoft Kobiro Pud Matrim, Marick, Anearan, Varick, Cyppo, Pye and various other people pretty routinely. The harder it gets to level, the less people you'll find to level with. Spend more timing seeking though, that's the downside.

The best part is about this thread is that there's some one posting on this thread guilty of this sort of thing. They had their flag up as J and decided to ask them if they wanted to party anyways and got a english = no thanks I don't speak any english. :twisted: :twisted: Unless they have a JP twin with the same name, I found out your a lying!

:shock:
I wasn't going to say anything but... Yanzi nailed it
/praise /salute. Good Job! anyone else care to put up some names :twisted: ?

 

[decidence]

Um... Ive only used the J search tag for like 2 weeks now off and on, so obviously your confusing the point of this thread.

However there were times back when I would seek JE and still tell people I didn't know that I didn't speak english when I was fishing, busy or already in a PT and didn't want to chat... its easier then just being blatantly rude and tell them to fuck off.. which I would commonly do.

I really really don't like people talking to me that don't know me when Im fishing or busy, its so annoying.

 

[decidence]

BTW Sinhard who the hell are you? Are you referring to when I was playing my WHM? Cuz I never seeked J only until like 2 weeks ago when I got fed up with the crap NA PT's I was having recently... and even then I still seek JE during NA primetime, its only when the majority of PTs forming are Japanese that I switch over to increase my chances.

 

[Nasya]

to explain better what orz and w mean...

warau = to laugh. so w = lol. Deci said warau, but didn't explain why it would mean laughing

Orz is two things. It looks like a man running (O = Head r= arm z = legs) and it has the connotation of "omg".

As for this whole argument... if people prefer japanese PT, let them pt with japanese. Like Rones said, to the Japanese J E or JE = preferance, nothing else, because the question is not 'what language can you use" but "which do you prefer". to the Japanese then, E would mean "English Only". Personally i do not want to lower my chances of getting a pt, I search with JE and have Japanese and/or English in my comment depending on what is appropriate for the time of day, but to each there own '-'

 

[Rones]

the question is not 'what language can you use" but "which do you prefer".

Just to clarify, on the JP client it asks which languages you speak while on the NA client it asks which you prefer to party with.

I have known some people that claims to be Japanese (and talk it) but they aren't. They do it to get better chances, not be bothered, etc.

It is like:
"<I am sorry.> <I don't speak any English.> <Goodbye.>"

But then you see him/her around talking English, WTF? that is denying your language and nation, I don't think that is right. So if you see that point, it is bad.

But about putting only the J. I think that some Americans / Non-Japanese do this because they simply prefer Japanese parties for their experience in the game, or they are simply ????ers.
Personally, I use the JE because I want both parties. No matter English or Japanse.
So in short words, what I mean is that like many already said here, it depends on the person, the game version, etc.
Not everyone around with J does it for the same reason, nor those with JE.

Of course, this is what I think, so don't blame me if you don't think the same way

 

[Bigboy]

I always throw up my JE flag when looking for group. I don't need to be told what is going on with any of my jobs anyways, so being a in a party with a bunch of people that are (OMG) forced to communicate through the auto-translator built into the game is really not a downside to me. I just prefer not to be turned down for some silly language issue anyways.

When you know your shit well enough, it doesn't matter who you group with, besides, most mages don't really need detailed instructions anyways. :roll:

 

[Arwym]

you are right, Bigboy. Why is it such a big deal about if the party is Japanese or English, when what matters is that everyone gets the exp and have fun.

 

[Pascal]

I have E set on my system, and I still get JP invites. When I started the game the majority of the parties I was in where JP dominated parties. Having just the E never seems to hinder me.

i've only said that i've seen you seek as J. that is a fact.

However there were times back when I would seek JE and still tell people I didn't know that I didn't speak english when I was fishing, busy or already in a PT and didn't want to chat... its easier then just being blatantly rude and tell them to fuck off.. which I would commonly do.

you've even admitted that you said you didn't speak english.
am i still incorrect in who it is?

isn't this exactly what the original poster was talking about? :twisted:
