What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

R0 has been rampant lately. Everyone has gotten fed up with the server-wide R0ing shit. They need to fix their damn shit!

Also, apparently, our events scheduled (except camps, obviously) are listed as 8 PM ... that means "Gather time." Start gathering at 8. I find it to be retarded, as you schedule a doctor's appointment at 8 you expect to be called in at 8. So yeah, that's something I've come to terms with, but now I don't AFK in Nashmau at 7:30.

I wasnt having this problem till today's maintenance..............

I had to toss them in order to have 10/10 for this year.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Ah. I thought they were keeping you from buying the full 10 even if you had thrown them out.

Nah, they had just been hanging out in Storage so I had to run all the way back to the mog house.

Stupid people in general

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

This complaint is a little more restricted to Siren in general, since it hasn't lost Besieged yet. But I can't stand the shouters in Al Zahbi who can't stop congratulating themselves over the server's success at this event.

"^_^ Double Besieged! Is this how SE intends to make us lose?!"
"woot, victory # WXYZ >:D"
":O so eeeasssy, how do other servers lose this?!"

It feels like being in that South Park episde with Smug Alert, where you're surrounded by players who are content to smell their own farts.

Then there's what are probably more universal shouts across servers:

"watch out! I'm charmed!"
"omg jezus, stop nuking the Megaboss!!1 you're healing him!!!11eleven"
"{Magnolia Lumber} {White Steel} {Can I have it?} {Sell?}" (and yes, this is the same one mentioned in pet peeve a little while back who has been shouting since the start of the year now)

If they've been shouting since the start of the year, they've probably had time to level THF to 75, NIN to 37, and go farm it themselves ... it would probably work better, too!

People taking the initiative? Are we talking about the same game here?

LOL, if he's been shouting for it for 6 months, he might as well have been shouting for something more productive like help with unlocking sky or sea.

My latest pet peave....

God I hate it when I do stupid things. I'm not a noob. I'm in Mensa. Why do I do stupid things?

Case in point: I wake up this morning and start soloing my low level summoner as I sip my first cup of coffee. I need only 1 more crab for my FOV but there's no crabs around...Hey there's one by the beach!...but I'm almost out of MP.....eh, I'm fine, my NPC is helping out.....I attack.....Oops, that gobbie hunter decides I'm not his friend.....oops, I'm out of MP - Cya Carby.....dam, another gobbie hunter aggros...crap, a 3rd one aggros right as the crab dies.....Cya NPC.....Cya world of the living....I sure know how to piss me off

Rapture doomsayers. Need I say more?

[Raydeus]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Considering the amount of time I have to play; the moment Rapture hits the stores will mean the death of XI for me, that's for sure. <_<;

Unless of course something amazingly good happens in XI that would make me want to keep playing both games, but I doubt it.


/ma Haste <me>
Time to start getting done all those quests I have pending. d(^^d)

Peeve: when nobody rescues Besieged NPCs. Especially the free warp taru.

A few days ago, the free warp taru got taken. No Wizard's Drink means less performance from mages, and probably less interest in mages even showing up. Also, someone in my LS reached 75 a couple of weeks ago and really would like a Walmart Turban someday, and Chochoroon hasn't been around for a while. The worst is the chocobo lady, who is in jail more than she's in town.

Usually the warp taru gets recovered within 24 hours. This time he was gone for 48 hours, and sure enough, we get a low-man (about 100 or so) Besieged going. Toward the end, the generals start dropping like flies and we lose the ass candy. Good thing I leveled right before the battle and got my skills capped.

About 2 days later, and only one of the six original missing NPCs (the clothcraft guild NPC) has returned. All nine of the NPCs taken in the failbattle are back, but mirrors are still at 8. Did the JPs decide to go on strike, or what?

This really doesn't bother me _that_ much, since I don't do anything but Besieged in AU, I've had my turban for a while, and now that I have Retrace, I can easily take the Rolanberry Maw to get to Jeuno, but I am quite surprised it's taking this long. Then again, this is only the second time we've lost the candy in at least six months (the other was about a month ago), so maybe the JPs are out of practice.

EDIT: the bit about the JPs was a joke, geez. Because "everyone knows" that the JPs are the ones who get the candy back. But the NAs really are too lazy, lol.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Why is it always left to the JP players to rescue the AC, anyway? I mean, there's no sign (so far as I can tell) of NA players even THINKING of going after anything in there...

Most NA players are lazy and dont wanna spend hours upon hours throwing bodies at the ToAU Beastmen Kings to win the AC back.
