You ain't alone brotha.. I lotted a 20 for Nashira Manteel on Saturday.

You have no reason to complain! Here are some bad lots. (I'm Vysey by the way):

And to top it off, the first time I ever lotted black mage hat, I got the lowest lot. Figures.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Well an explanation for this could be that someone is trying to skill up whatever skill. Of course, if MP is tight you don't do this. But if the mp is fine then casting little low MP spells like Regen, Dia or Para to skill up is ok.

I have both Rdm and Whm leveled and from a Rdm's perspective........why are you trying to outcast the Rdm on enfeebles? Thats the Rdm's job so getting angry cause he 's doing his job is a bit silly.

I can understand the skill up reasoning, but right after I cast it, at least wait for it to wear first. I wasn't trying to outcast him, there were times when he was resting when a mob came in so I started to enfeeble and as soon as he got up he would cast the same enfeebles I had just cast. Personally I would rather hang on to the mp for the oh, shit moments that can happen.

You have...to be...fucking joking...

Waited 6 fucking months for Goliard Cuffs to drop.


They dropped a few minutes ago, I lot, rest of party passes.


Lightning crystal drops into inventory, making me 70/70, Cuffs in the garbage.

I'm seriously beginning to consider quitting this game, waited 6 fucking months for that bullshit.

Play games that don't take 6 months to let you down.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Couple of pet peeves, or at least things that really piss me off to no end for the first one.

A question was asked in the LS whether or not Bore/Burrow was worthwhile for someone interested in raising a chocobo for chocobo digging, and if so was one better than the other. I gave my opinion that both were good for digging, and got the, "Well, you're not an A10 digger so your opinion is worthless" crap thrown at me from another person in the LS because my opinion differed from theirs. Their opinion was that both Bore/Burrow was crap.

Now that frankly pisses me off to no end. If you want to offer a different opinion than mine, that's fine and it's something I can respect. To go and belittle a fellow LS member just because their opinion differs from yours, that REALLY pisses me off. The general opinion of, "if you're not XYZ then you know nothing and STFU" also infuriates me.

Disagree with me all you want, however do not insult me when you do.

Next peeve:

We went on a swift belt run, I checked the guide on Wiki and it said that we needed to kill about 20 Fomor to max out Fomor hate. We figure that's not too many and we can farm subligar while maxing hate.

Well, about 40 fricking Fomor later, I stopped counting after 28, still not maxed hate. Got everyone chest keys and some subligar though, so that's good. Gonna murder the Fomor outside the Sacrarium though at night to finish up the hate levels.

That drives me nuts too, moreso in relation to jobs, like 'You're not a 75 XXX so you wouldn't know', which could be true in the case of things like Charm rates and Automatons, but for basic things like how to gear up for certain things, the math works the same on every job, and once you know it on one you can make an educated statement about the others. Bothers me when people dismiss something like a 75 RDM's claims on how to gear for 75 BLM(not that it's happened to me personally, but I have seen it), because of course a 75 RDM knows nothing about nuking.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

OMFG.

So I went to Behemoth's Dominion to solo my WAR AF3. No biggie, the mobs actually turned out to be really easy and I had no trouble taking them down.

Except.

My piece of shit laptop kicked me from the game. Twice. As I'm fighting them.

NP, I think, I zone back in and still have claim on the mob I was fighting (there are 3 total) and I continue to take them out.

So I'm done killing all three of them, and the next step is to zone out into Qufim and get my CS so I can get my LOLWARBODY and when I zone ...

Nothing.

Not a damn thing.

Seriously I could toss this laptop across the room some days. That's not even fucking fair.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

My latest peeve:

Ok I don't have a lot of time to make gil so if we get drops doing something thats great. Every little bit helps. How about Dynamis? Well people say "Oh, I'm lvling X craft can I lot that?" Ok, they are leveling crafting, I respect that its expensive and they can use the item to level up on but how about thinking of everyone and not just yourself. How about everyone that might want it gets to lot it and possibly make/save some money too? But nooooooo give it to the person, they craft with it, and then sell the crafted item and MAKE GIL.......just like I would like to.

Or just people you static with in like....a Nyzul static lets say? *looks at Sci* Then you get 8 ??? in a night and even though most of them are only worth 1-10k, thats a great help to the poorer people. *coughmecough* But nooooooooooo who lots and gets 5 out of 8 of the items......the person with all the gil! Seriously the guy just bought a Genie Weskit and a Shar'ir Manateel and is looking for some other multi million gil item but its not been up on the ah or in any bazaars lately. The little granny taru with no money and no time to farm gets nada and Mr. Megabucks *pokesSciintheeye* gets the drops..... SE hates me....really.....they do....

Trust me, you're not missing much.

Last 3 Dynamis runs got us a net 5 Relic. Two of which were NIN, and both those came after farming after the boss in Windy.

I refuse to believe anything drops in the Northlands other than experience points due to massive death.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I don't normally nitpick on gear but yesterday in a party I had a NIN tanking with an O.Kote, Empress Hairpin and then some belt that lowers attack. Basically all of the bonuses and penalties on his gear cancelled each other out so that he maybe had +1 attack and -2 Evade overall. Not only couldn't he hit the Collibri but I was outdamaging him AND blood tanking better than him AND I WAS THE EFFING WHITE MAGE. Heck I ended up tanking for half of the time we were there because this NIN couldn't even touch the Collibri.
