What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I felt the same way after hitting 75. Honestly, I still feel that way. I will never obtain some of the rarer gear in the game, because I'll never have the time to do so. I'm not upset about it, exactly, just kind of resigned.

For me it was the realisation that skill level was in no way relevant to the obtaining of said rare gear. This has been reinforced time and again seeing drooling fucktards who have too much time and a credit card on their hands gain items I would probably never see in five years "respectable" playing.

I think I'm also going to add the obligatory "Having to wait until 2am until all of the RDMs are taken to get into an exp party as a WHM mid-40's" thing although admittedly it's much better than having to wait until 4am to get into a party as a 22BLM for half an hour at Qufim levels thanks to SCH.

Also the idea having to level jobs that I dislike levelling (I'm looking at you NIN) instead of something actually useful to WHM like SCH so I won't get passed over for Campaign battles in the 60's is putting me off levelling anything other than WHM, SCH and maybe SMN (for Promy Spires) and BRD (for the fun of it).

Well Whinja is really fun when you get up to the level that you can actually play it. But getting Ninja to 37 was the worst part of this game, thus far.

Not really, its getting it to 37 with idiots. /sigh, makes me remember getting war subbing drg to 37, much more fun. Especially back in the 30 cap ballistas I spammed doing that. Rwar Shadow of Death & Jump!

Aka I would just have this headache from sitting around counting shadows all night and waching my chat log so closely that I felt like my head would explode. Even on RDM I don't have to watch the log that closely, and my head would just fucking HURT to level Ninja. Also, tanking mandies. FUCK MANDIES.

Not really worth it to put shadows up on mandies XD be gone as soon as you cast them =x

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Yeah, luckily we had a PL there to tank for us ... normally I hate PLs but on Ninja I welcomed it, hell, I didn't give a flying fuck about holding hate I just wanted to get the damn shit leveled.

I imagine it's much better to level with Ni, but if I choose to go after the old man Maat 15 times total, I shall probably level Ninja absolutely last.

much better to level with Ni

Exactly.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I tried to get in a Nyzul Static with my MNK, who is pretty decently geared. The "Leader" asked if I had Black Belt, I said no, no HNM LS. He then asked if I had Byakko pants, I said no, I am third in line for them now. He said, no thanks, we are looking for someone better geared. ;;

Me and Lilith farmed for 6 hours since we wanted to finish up the bastok quests, after doing the Sandy and Windy legs... no drop and I'm still going at it.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

A FFXI forum related pet peeve: people who add "-tab" to partial zone names. You probably see this mostly with people saying "Ul-tab" instead of "Uleguerand", or "Bos-tab" instead of "Bostaunieux".

Most recently, I saw someone post "Al-tab" when talking about Alzadaal Undersea Ruins. It's not terribly clever to do the whole "-tab" thing now. And "Alzadaal" is not terribly hard to spell or type. Heck, I wouldn't fault someone for misspelling it as "Alzadal".

Honestly, the game and forums would be a much better place if a lot of people had their ability to communicate removed. See above.
