The Auction House.

I understand, the economy will always change... but why... why whenever I buy something and want to sell it back, does it change from a STEADY going rate of 70k for over 2 weeks, suddenly drop to 30k out of nowhere.

This is just one example too. WHO IS FOLLOWING ME?! /paranoia

Also, rank 10 multiple lvl75 people who still can't form a simple 1-37 party... We're 5/6 with no proper tank. Grabbing the DRG isn't gonna help when there's a PLD seeki-- We told you not to grab him! Oh well, just explain and kick him, he'll underst-- ...PLD just got another party.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

lol I hate that. I always build the same low level parties, 1 WHM(or equivalent) 1 BLM (or equivalent) 1 Support role (any support), 1 Tank (even non trad), 2 DD (preferably 1 THF).

6 hours.

SIX FUCKING HOURS. 12 Virtue Stone pouches, about 300 mobs, and 0 fucking coffer keys.

FUCK YOU SQUARE ENIX.

Getting yelled at for putting Regen 1 on the the puller. I'll refresh Regen 2 on the tank and if the puller comes back a bit battered I'll probably drop Regen 1 on him/her to save wasting a Cure 3 and getting hate for it. In one party the THF flipped out at me because I cast Regen 2 on the PLD then Regen 1 on him. Somehow he through he was more deserving of the MP (even though the SAM needed it more) and he cancelled it while going on about a rant that he is "irreplacable" and played the inevitable "This party can't function without me" card. Basically this guy wanted a Regen 2 the instant after I Regen 2'd the PLD.

Long story short the party started to get sick of this guy so the PLD "accidentally" stepped out of the way during a SATA Dancing Edge resulting in the whiny THF getting one shotted and surprise, the party did perfectly fine with him laying face down in the dirt.

Result: THF HP's and he was quickly repped by someone who was actually grateful for getting a Regen when running back to camp with a mob.

Edit: Also this: Waiting 6 effing hours seeking as 22SMN only to get an invite during the "Shutdown in X seconds" messages. At least I got a fair few Moat Carp for Lu Shang's in that time/

Fucking JoL ... I'm up for Novio and this is what happens:

Get it started, do the pull. Things are going well, but as usual, things get kinda hairy so they tell the melees to get off it. Standard procedure, but, well, one of them fucking CFHs.

OMFG.

People log out and those who are dead stay down for it to turn yellow. It does, we get it back and recover.

Then.

Then.

It's at 50%, and Astral Flow wipes the BLM add party. We get the melees off JoL again to go take care of the adds, but we all die. Full fucking wipe. Again.

Recover again. Get going again. Regen is broken, Astral Flow is gone, so we figure all will be well.

And then we kill it.

And the only
fucking
thing
in the pool
is a
fucking
Love
Halberd.

/wrists.

BRB uninstalling game ...

Oh and on top of the 4 deaths I already ate tonight, AV popped just for one more fucking "Ohiyourxpismine."

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Can... c-can I have that Love Halberd?

I'm really getting pissed at people who think you're a gil-buyer because your gear is "oh so expensive". See my Federation Slops? Yeah. Only 25k. See those HQ Energy Earrings? Obviously I had to go buy fake online money, because a normal person can't carry more than 50k in their pocket. Oh, noticed the Astral Ring did you? Yeah. Freakin' broke now that I brought it, but I don't give a damn.

Mind you, I'm only leveling SCH 1-37. It's just a expensive habit I have, but it makes me happy. I hunted for a Bounding Boots and Empress Hairpin, and wasted money to level Marksmenship just for my THF who I only took to 36. Crazy, but again, I like to try and be the best I can be.

Stop being so damn cheap and stop leveling to work on your gear. It's not right to call someone else a gil-buyer because you can't have what they're wearing.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I discovered a new pet peeve of mine... okay here is the story...

I was leveling Scholar in West Ronfaure... I had attacked a goblin thug... and got an invite to join a person who allegedly is one of my best friends in the game in helping her get her Artifact Horn for Summoner. Well no sooner do I get that invite than I aggro a Orc WHILE fighting the Goblin thug. So now I have two enemies to contend with. I die. I ask for another friend to raise me... only to find out 5 minutes later that my friend who asked for help and 3 other people are waiting for me in the Cloister. So I death warp, notifying my other friend that I did so. I then run back to San d'Oria (my HP is set in West Ronfaure). I then call for a Teleport-Altep... get one, and say I will pay 2k for it. I then go to my mog house switch to my high level job, get all my gear, and run back to the AH in South San d'Oria to catch my teleport.

All of this apparently took longer than 30 minutes because when I get to Rabao I am asked if I am on my way, to which I answer "Yes, I am in Rabao." no matter by the time I am at the cloister (I mini-fork warped there) my friend and all of her companions were already warping into the battlefield without me. So in essence I wasted about 300 XP, and 2,000 gil to get to the cloister, all to do nothing but sit around while they fight this NM.

Basically I am really really pissed off right now!!! Especially since I complained to both the Ex-boyfriend of my LS leader, and to my friend about this and they both down played it. I am honestly not sure if I consider my friend a friend anymore. Additionally I blisted the Ex-boyfriend of my LS leader, because he so royally pissed me off, saying things like "No one told you to death warp" and "no one told you to get a teleport"... I don't have Teleport Altep on my WHM... so how else was I supposed to get to Altep? Region Warp? Yeah that would have taken me twice as long to get to Rabao cause I would have had to walk there!

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Peeved about technical issues mostly.

We had CoP 8-1/2 scheduled for last night, but two people had computer issues (one crashed, the other was a new computer and having problems running FF on the new computer) and couldn't make it, another person was a couple of hours late, and now people are ready to go out for lunch so I'll finish this later.

______________________________
Anywho, so the net result was that we started way late, and killed the NMs for 5/7 people in our merry band, also means that 5/7 of us got the Tavnazia Ring, but we'll still have to go back and do it again for the other 2 peeps.

It's really not that bad, can't really blame people for computers not wanting to work, but I'm still just a tad upset that we weren't able to really make progress yesterday.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

From Dynamis tonight, I have just two that are really starting to irritate me:

1. Melee who do not pull back when they're weakened.

2. Bards who do not cast Stoneskin before rushing into the fray to buff the melees.

[Nuriko]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

What, you mean people should actually worry about getting one-shotted and wasting that 250 MP the WHM just spent on them? Perish the thought!

(and themselves, truth be told ... I hate raising somebody I just raised)
