What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Last Sunday I had someone CFH on Charybdis of all people. There were something like 13 angry RDMs in the zone and lots of angry shouts on about 3 different languages after that happened.

You can do /cm p or /cm l so you don't have to do the /p /l all the time. Just throwing that out there. I know what you mean with the annoying cutoff thing. I should try out the MMM some day. Sounds like fun.

Anytime I'm online and you want to try a run give me a shout. I'm always looking for people to do runs with as it's a very fun way of getting skill ups. Each run is timed at 30 mins unless you have a runs that changes that so it's very easy to get 3-4 people together to do a couple of runs.

Joining parties that have no one to deal any damage.

Can't remember the 1st party well enough but it was in Garlaige Citadel and though they brought a PL he was far more of a detriment than any real help...

2nd setup was Rdm (inept), Smn, Drk, Thf, Nin, and me the Dnc. We were like a very pretty sword with the edge of a letter opener. I shoulda seen it coming when we couldn't hit birds at lvl 55 in Wajoam woods. The first one we tried nearly wiped the casters cuz the Nin couldn't hold any hate. After that, we left and proceeded to wipe 3 times in Kuftal Tunnel before I and my LS buddy had enough... The crabs there are still laughing wildly at our EPIC 3-5 minute battles.

*note to self - I need to see the futility sooner*

Minutes later I was back in Wajoam Woods with a Level-Synch party (Pld, Sam, Drg, Thf, Rdm, and me Dnc) 54 tearing thru Colibri like they were paper dolls for chains worth 300+ w/o ring every 30 sec or less... I mean, WTF !!!

I know I need to grab the bull by the horns a little more myself; be a leader, and chizzle my own parties sometimes so this won't happen. I just don't understand people sometimes... "Oh there's 5 people seeking, I'll gather them for battle" but no regard to party tactics.

Terrible drop rates in Nyzul.

My static has cleared floor 80 13 times and all we have to show for it is one Denali (which went to a pick-up member) and one Goliard.

Doesn't SE understand that there are 4 people in my static who want, nay need Askar?

Qufim Islands rocks. There are like 3 or 4 spots where it looks like you can run around (like the dancing weapon spot when you enter) but you always just get stuck and then have to go around. You know you can not make it but in your mind you think "Hey, maybe then changed it." "Or maybe I was just doing it wrong". So then you try it and look and feel like a jackass.

Also, HPing out of besiged or w/e due to lag

Tahrongi is like this for me. The place is just a giant, brown hidden-obstacle course, and the only time I can visit it without getting hung up is when I'm running straight from the telepoint to the Promyvion entrance.

Funny, I usually don't have to do anything to look/feel like a jackass!

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Players that think that so uberfuckingcoolIbeatallyousnoobpeople that they feel the need to put down other random players in /say and/or /shout.

e.g "Man I feel sorry for these 2 PLDs here, they're in full AF and I'm in full God Armour"

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

My newest Pet Peeve is sort of the opposite of Meg's: Hurting other people's feelings on accident, even though they may have deserved it. >_>

For instance, some newb in the linkshell was asking about VIT, and I go "well, it increases Defense and has a mild effect on how much one gets cured by," and then someone else says "Paladins and tanking WARs tend to stack VIT gear to improve their tanking."

<_< Now, you saw it right there that the guy was asking for it! I went and replied "Truthfully, any Paladin that actually stacks VIT gear is a tool for various reasons, but I'd rather not get in to that right now. >_>" . . . getting in to that proved inevitable. As it turned out, I ended up offending the "someone else" from earlier, as it turns out, he was a 44 PLD who was "in semi-VIT gear but would be in full VIT gear if I had it." He then berates me for being outspoken and "inexperienced" as only a level 17 PLD (ding 17 PLD, btw, yay Cure II). No matter how much I tried to explain that VIT and Defense are grossly overrated (especially in comparison to PLD's DD potential, which they ignorantly laughed at as well), they just kept with the sarcasm and belittling comments.

/sigh . . . some people are hopeless . . . this doesn't even qualify as linkshell drama, as this is only a social.

XD

I probably would have done the same in your case, you were trying to give helpful advice so if the guy took offence to it he should probably stop being so sensitive <_<

Yep, I play blithfully ignorant and don't involve myself in discussions in ls. If a new person asks a question like this, I will reply to them in /t. I'm tired of the know it alls, the I'm better than yous, and the stuck up pricks that walk around with their epeens hanging out.

JP Midnight. Honestly, who thought it was a good idea to have to wait to finish some missions and quests until after JP midnight?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

So I'm scanning for Sandworm on RDM75/RNG20, running around the entire zone looking for this bitch to pop, and finally when it does pop (far north of where I was under the impression it could pop), naturally I miss it and then people in the LS are pissed at me because I failed, which is understandable though someone on vent did say, "Well, if you didn't know, there was nothing we were going to be able to do."

Meanwhile, back at the C.A. teleportation NPC, sat a 75 RNG with this thumb up his ass when he could have been helping someone (not necessarily me) scan.

And then he had the audacity to bitch at me because I missed it and another ls got it.

Some people.

Ah yes, the lazy asses that don't want to put forth the effort but will put forth the effort to belittle others that actually do help. Gotta love em.......to death........with a katana to the fucking head.....
