What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

We use a pointless(edit: as in not based on a point system, lol), wish-list system so the countermeasures we have in place as follows:

1) Missing of events or certain other intolerable behavior(refusing to come as the job we need, shittalking to other LS' in /s, being a pain in my ass in general) results in getting bumped down spots for the items you're in line for.

2) Attendance for all events counts towards this(i.e. if someone always makes it to Limbus but skirts Dynamis we'll bump them from Limbus stuff they're in line for)

3) For the new ZNMs you are required to put forth triggers if you wishlist any ZNM drops, if you don't you'll get bumped.

4) We try to mix up what we do each week, both to keep people from waiting too long for their wishlisted gear, and to keep people who only go for gear from the same event from lootwhoring.

The thing that gets me is like you said, people try to be slick do things like taking off their pearl if they XP during events thinking that we don't notice that they're online and not there. Then they act all surprised when they've been bumped.

Well I just joined a new ls (about a month or so ago) and I do love this. It means I'm already third in line for RDM hat after only a month in the linkshell, because people just don't show up.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Greedy. Fucking. Bastards. We just posted some new changes to our LS drop system and other rules, including how we plan to do Einherjar and ZNM drops. Myself and the other 2 officers spent the past week discussing and tweaking things to make them as fair as possible, we post them, and already people are like, "What??!! What do you mean I can't get all the shit that I want before anyone else gets theirs without having to help other people get what they want??!! That's ridiculous!"

The only real problem is with a "wishlist" system is it makes needs known to everyone and those "needs" primarily lie with the DDs. So well over 75% of the time you're catering to the grunts while the jobs you need get nothing and start looking for shells that will place a degree of priority to mages/support/tanks and be fair about it.

Its also a tad early to fully integrate Zenis into any LS. Most tier I and IIs you can do on pick-ups with ease and "your pop, your drop" is the rule of the day. Tier III and IV need more organization than a pick up and hardly anyone has done Tier Vs yet. This is one to wait and see on. All I do know is any LS that dares to try to implement a point system on Zenis is playing with fire.

Finally, you're an officer - damned if you do, damned if you don't. All my leader/officer experiences boil down to this. At some point you have to make the hard decisions that make you look like an asshole or you'll be accused of something with no basis for it. Comes with the territory.

Though that's not to say there haven't been officers that haven't been heartless, selfish pricks. I've dealt with my fair share of them.

Never announce you're camping Charybdis to anyone except the friends who already have it. Though, I tried my best to go that route and still got some fuckwit tagalong who dared to play the DRG card. lolJoyeuseDRG.

No.

The 25th time is not a charm.
