What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Well, I was going to Selbina via: Boat and I completely forgot about the Sea Monk on the deck of the ship.

Usually it's easy enough to assign party members to each other so I watch two people and the RDM watches two with us stepping in to heal anyone in trouble if it all hits the fan. It's all very easy to organise and it reduces all drama and the like to a minimum.

I wish I could get parties to work that way when I'm on WHM, but it really just doesn't fucking work for me. Always get the mages who agree to do one thing then do the exact fucking opposite.

It's why I don't even party on my WHM anymore, I can't stand dealing with the RDMs. I'll just get a TP-burn party on my RDM where I'm the only mage and then I don't have to deal with anyone else's shit.

Oh when I agree with someone I stick to that agreement to the n'th degree. They better have their shit together because if they don't, it's their head not mine. Case and point in Dynamis a couple weeks ago, I was on whm in the tank pt with another whm.

He wanted to be in charge and be big dog since I was new to the shell. Thats cool, put me in my place...piss on me.

Whatever.

Ok big dog go do your stuff. Look incoming big pull, get up and get to it big man.

Hey....big guy....incoming big pull....right next to you.....see them coming in hot....in the red....needing curing....hey big guy why are you just standing there.....oooo one tank down...ok CURE V on second tank (my son) by me cause he'd kill me otherwise....ya good job there big guy...go raise the other tank while I keep the entire f**king alliance alive.

There were so many times that I would have 0 mp and he'd be full and we'd just be done with a full pull. (I'm taru and he's hume and I have 150mp more than him.) Or after several deaths, of which I was one, I'd raise the majority of people WEAKENED when he wasn't. Honestly, if you want to be the big dog then show me your stuff. Just because you are in the shell longer doesn't mean shit to me.

Did that once when zoning into the Mire from one of the staging points. Usually it's full of parties so you rarely get any aggro off anything dangerous. A few days ago my LS saw this appear on the screen.

Sardia: OHMIGOSHIMPS!
*long pause*
Sardia: Umm I'm stuck under an imp. Can someone come tractor me so I can RR?
Random LS member: How far did you make it out into the Mire this time?

Don't get me wrong, I love Imps, they give awesome exp AND I actually feel needed due to all of the silena spamming I have to do, I just hate having to dodge them in order to do a thing in the Mire.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I really wish they'd add some way of looking for a party on a job that you're not currently on. I have 3 main goals on my mule I need to deal with, leveling THF(42 at the moment), rebuffering and meritting RNG, and getting started on campaign rankups/AN. I know I can do Streetsweeper while lfg as THF, but once my tags are up I can't really do anything but sit around as THF waiting for invites, and THF is apparently a barren wasteland for invites these days.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

If you share my luck in finding parties you'll be 42 a good long while

Thats why I wasn't particularly worried. Sadly I was the ONLY one there.

honestly its all about people needing to read comments....


I was suprised the other day when someone asked if I could merit as DNC
(was DRG at time and had "Merit Party 75 DRG DNC" in my comments

[Callisto]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

True, but most people who might be in the market for a 40ish THF aren't likely to go comment shopping among 75 RNGs, plus I'd have to deal with RNG invites from the ones who can't read, when that's not the job I'm looking to XP, lol.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Hpemde. Those little orange bastards hog their organs all to themselves. I'm sure they have plenty, why can't they share?! And just the NQ, none of that fancy HQ stuff.

[Ellipses]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Seriously, who wants to search through the comments of every single player seeking on the off chance that one of them happens to have the job and levels available that you're looking for? It wouldn't be so bad if we could even just search the comments themselves, but even that would require everyone to agree on some standard format for listing other job/levels to be useful.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Blessed Trousers, just Blessed Trousers. Been trying to get these things since I hit WHM70. Got my Mitts, boots and even the Briault for macros (since I already have my Noble's) but can I find the Trousers? It seems that the only time the bloody things are posted are either when I'm sleeping or when I'm at college. Normally I wouldn't that annoyed but when you have been staring at those Hume RSE shorts since Lv32 and those elitist mororns in pick up groups calling you gimp despite the group having the laziest RDM ever (seriously why should I have to switch to Dark Arts and waste a strat just to Dispel when the RDM can do it in half the time?) it starts to get annoying.

Though later on last night I did manage to get my Unlit Lantern with my LS for if I ever get the chance to do ZM4. Shame I couldn't get my Carby Mitts pop item too before having to log. Ah well the LS said they'd help me with that tonight.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

You know whats BULLSHIT?

That if I disconnect in a zone where I have sneak up (thanks to my lovely piece of shit laptop fucking me over YET AGAIN) I don't zone back IN with sneak up. Yes, thank you, Square Enix, I really wanted to get owned by a mob the second I logged back into the game because you're too stupid to realize that I DIDN'T LOSE SNEAK DUE TO NORMAL MEASURES, NOR DID I ZONE, BUT NOW I LOST 4K EXP ANYWAY. I can zone back in with Protect and Refresh, but no, certainly not the one buff that was keeping me alive. THAT'S BULLSHIT, and I have a right to be pissed that you're too retarded to let me keep my stealth buffs when I disconnect.

Fucking hell man, nothing ruined my damn day faster than zoning in and getting my butthole raped by angry sound aggro mobs when I HAD SNEAK UP BEFORE I D/C'ED! Fuck that is bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit and now I'm too fucking pissed to even play.

Aksannyi, {language}! Seriously, people on these forums don't need to know about your butthole!
