What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

It autotranslates to {Pay attention bitch!}

kinda like {Are you alone?} I once made a statment that only Online Predators use that auto-translate lmao. I think the only real thing you could use it for is if you said AW CRAP I GOT A LINK....NVM! or I GOT AGGRO....NVM! Someone might ask it but I didn't see the purpose for it either lmao.

So, we are in Dynamis Tav and we wipe. People who had rr get up. I had rr'd and the other whm needed a raise. So I go up to someone and I start casting raise. In my raise macro for events, it posts to ls chat {Raise}>>> <t>. Since NO ONE was talking in ls chat or even pt chat, it was very easily seen. What does the other whm do as soon as he gets raised? Runs up, does his little scholarly book thingies, and casts raise on the SAME DAMN PERSON. In the past, he's put on sprinter shoes to race ahead of me to raise someone and this isn't the first time he's tried to "out raise" me either. I'm getting extremely annoyed.

Could have stopped right there. One of my biggest pet peeves. Was farming SCNM last night, and we wiped to an NM because I was the only one with echoes in the group (8 people), yet another peeve, yay! I'm on RDM for a change, because as much as I love WHM sometimes I just need a break.

So we wipe, and I get a /tell from the WHM saying, "It's really going to make them mad when I mention I don't have RR."

/facepalm

Good thing I had it, because unlike most mages, I fucking bring echo drops, and I keep reraise up AT ALL TIMES.

I once tried to out teleport another WHM during a Carby Mitts run. Thanks to Celerity, Hate, LA and the haste from the Blessed gear both teleports hit at the exact same time. Nothing strange happened and I'm not sure if it even counted as a double zone. it was still hilarious to watch though.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I'm trying to learn WHM, because well to be honest.. I'm terrible. So I get invited into a party that has a PL and they just make me sit there and heal the people who get hit by AoE spells. After the PL leaves they all get pissed off at me when someone dies when i'm still try to learn. =.=

People who think that haste affects the casting time of spells/songs.

It would've been funny if it caused a interruption in the server space/time continuum. Immediately causing the server to go down for emergency maintenance.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

efffffffffffff last night kinda pissed me off.

Over the last 14 months or so I've had the best attendance out of anyone in the LS. I am the only person who has always showed up for all of the bitch farming in Sky/Sea/whatever whether I need the event or not, I've missed a total of 3 Dynamis runs and maybe 5 Limbus runs, while our normal members constantly miss events and 1/3 of the LS merits/xps during half our events because they're too lazy to get Sea.

So last night a total of 8 people show up for Dynamis. We cancel the run, and then everyone starts in on their "ME ME ME DO WHAT DROPS THE STUFF I NEED LET'S GO DO SKY I WANT I WANT" shit, I say fuck it, there's plenty of people to take care of Diorite farming and noone in the LS has yet to prove that they can accomplish jack shit without me being there.

I flag up to merit, as soon as I get an invite I get met with QQing from the LS leader and asked to dump my party invite so that people won't leak their vaginas about me meritting during event time since I yell at them for it. So instead I get to stare at my screen for 2 hours waiting for assaults that didn't happen, before going to Sky to waste another 2 hours on Diorites that never drop so that we can fight Byakko to get some dipshit Haidate who doesn't even deserve them.

Make a new macro just for this douchebag:
/l {Raise} >>> <stpc>
/ma "Raise" <stpc>

Pick one corpse for the chat, and a different corpse for the spell. (Of course, that only works if he's got the appropriate chat filters going.)

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

People who work really hard with an LS to get a bunch of great endgame gear, including the most rare shit (Salvage, Relics) and then quit the game and RMT their accounts.

Has been happening so much more lately (or maybe I'm just noticing it more now because it affects me more ... some friends and people I do stuff with have done it) and it really just demoralizes people. The same people who say they'd never sell their account strip it bare and sell off everything on it. Some of them are shady about it, others blatantly say they're selling without caring who it affects. Had one guy avoid phone calls and IMs from everyone until the account was sold. Which shows he knew what he was doing was fucked up, and he hid from his friends to pad his own conscience.

Dickheadish move is dickheadish.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I don't think I could ever sell mine, I'm too paranoid about someone running around on my char possibly not being ridiculously fucking awesome, and tarnishing my reputation for ridiculous awesomeness.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Bein a tank, my pet peeve is tanks who complain about dying..........that is all.....

[Aksannyi]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I think tanks have a right to complain sometimes though. If their healer is sucky, they shouldn't just have to take one for the team, they should bitch their healer out and make them learn how to effin cure.
