I've never seen TBT used for The Boyahda Tree. That's just silly.

Someone was selling that stuff in a bazaar for 50k today. I know that doesn't help you considering we're on different servers and all, but I just happened to notice it.

I would so buy it if I found it on bazaar somewhere. This would save the +4 hours of camping it. :/

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

1. When people send a party invite without a /tell
2. People who argue in /shout in Jeuno/Whitegate. Obviously they just want attention, otherwise they'd use /tell
3. In one of many arguments I've seen in a /shout is "You can talk to me when you have one level 75". So having a level 75 makes you better? People don't only level on FFXI. They raise Chocobos, hunt NMs, raises craft skills, or sometimes just hang out and talk to their LS/friends

A POL peeve: The fact that every month, I'm required to look at the fees that have been billed, as if I don't already know they are charging me. And if I click on "Later," the message still comes up for like ten days until it finally decides to go away. Why don't they have an "I don't need to review my fees" option?

Please, someone, if you know a way that will prevent me from getting that pop-up every month, tell me how to turn it off.

I'm pretty sick of people who somehow manage to know that you're shouting for Assault, only to be placed in Windurst or something and not have their homepoints set in Aht Urhgan.

Assault is supposed to be a quick, painless experience. The last three times I've got a group together for it, I've had to wait 30-45 minutes for some guy coming from the other side of the world.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Slow day at work so I took the time to read all 34 pages. You all have good points, and I have enjoyed a few giggles along the way. But I also want to add to the conversation here.

1) Being new to the game and truly not knowing things. Example, I was a WAR in CN and invited to a party. Up to that point in time, my husband and I had partied with just the two of us. Having had no real party experience I did not understand the mechanics involved, which I did convey to the party leader. That being said, the party leader rants because I did not understand his directions. Could he have said in /tell do you understand how to do this? Could he have shared some constructive criticism? Apparently not. Most of us, admitting we do not know something are usually willing to hear what someone has to say on how we can improve what we are doing, especially having said I had no real group type party experience. If he was afraid of offending, a simple /tell to ask would constructive criticism be accepted would have been appreciated.

A few weeks later, my son who also plays the game, was home on leave from the military. He actually took the time to explain what I needed to do, where I needed to stand, what my goal was, and helped me to understand why I was doing things this way, based on the job I was playing at that time. (I have since gone on to become a level 75 Samurai) He went on to teach us how to set up a skill chain, timing it just right, and helping to learn the timing for a burst with the mages in the party. We all learned a great deal. Yes, it would have been easy for him to stand back and laugh at how stupid I was, but alot more was gained that day, not just for myself, but for the others in the party.

2) I know this has already been stated. The random /tell Neja Please give me 35,000 gilz. I don't know this person. Yes he is low level, and its difficult starting out, but we went out and farmed, earned or sold what we needed to in order to get what we wanted or needed. We did not run around asking someone to hand over what they had worked for. If I respond to these people at all, I will show them how to fish, give them a 100 gil fishing rod, and 2 or 3 stacks of little worms and show them how to make some gil. If they insist on spamming me to give them gil I will /blist add xxxx.

3) Casino's, Casino Operators who hard crash/disconnect rather than pay off if someone actually won on a roll. (no I do not join in the casino gambling, but have seen enough people who called GM because the Casino operator would not pay off the winnings)

4) Someone who knows everything. If I am in the Temple of Ugglepieh (sp) and I am helping someone to farm a key for an AF item and we are constantly getting links. If in linkshell chatter we say whats going on and the KNOW IT ALL responds, those dont agro, I just want to tell him to get his A** down there and explain it to these mobs, because they do not believe us as they pound on us. If you know more than someone else, prove it, or shut it. Do not stand there at the Jeuno AH and profess to knowing everything. Talk is cheap, back it up with some action.

5) The cretin who will shout throughout Jeuno that he can make you that coveted +1 item you have been saving for over the past 8 months. They synth the item and get a +1 and they dodge to the mog house and log out and you are left with nothing. You provided the materials. He provided the skill. He sells the item and leaves you with nothing. And then the GM can do nothing for you.

6) When fishing and the line breaks and you lose your 25,000 gil lure. Why don't the occasional mobs that you do fish up and have to kill occasionally drop those lures back to you? It would make sense that the one that got away would eventually have to be caught, and the lures could be recovered.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

When the monster has || HP left and I miss 10 times in a row and die.

Edited for Murphie: || is a representation of the hp bar and how much is left.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

11 hp?

I hate sassy elvaan who back talk. I hate having to break out my step stool to give them five across the face.

But that doesn't mean I won't.
