The real kicker is that he came Pink Mage, so I'm not sure why I even got an invite. I should have asked him to nuke some since he was constantly sitting on 200+ mp.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I understand EVERYONE pays their monthly fees it's a fact of the MMO world. (Well most) but when people want to try to tell me I should be a clone of everyone else... erm no sorry doesn't work that way. I find out what works best for me, that still benefits my pt completely and run with it. Why stick with the norm if you can pull off different and it work for you and someone complains because of that... that is what I was getting at.

I finally pulled out my macro when people do their /check. "Linney feels violated." Linney says "Aren't ya gonna at least buy me dinner first."
I had that macro put away for a while but figured it was about that time I brought it back out when the same people examine me more than once in the same day in the city

1.) Players that purposely steal mobs. "What? That guy just drew his sword and charged after that Goblin Mugger? Awesome! I'll duck behind this rock and snipe the thing with my ranged attack! That won't piss the other guy off at all!"

2.) Links. Links. Links. RESPAWNING links. Sure, I just managed to clear Giddeus (before the lower caves) single-handedly. So what? That trio of Yagudo Mendicants that spawned on top of me just as my buffs wore off really don't seem to- oh, and there's an NM. And it's aggressive. Awesome. *Return to Home Point*

3.) Hey, Link! You must wait longer to perform that action.

4.) Power-Crazed BLM's. Why on earth are you running around in West Saru dropping Tier-III nukes? The newbs don't care that you just reduced that poor, defenseless Rarab to a charred cinder. You can make things asplode. Okay. We get it. Now go away.

5.) -Random Tell conversation-

Random level 10~11 BLM that appears from absolutely NOWHERE: "praty"

Me: "... What?"

BLM: "party sry lol u wnt 2 pty n dunes"

Me: "No. Go away."

BLM: "cmon plz i need to lvl up my blm i hvae a grp of frnds coming to help us nd 1 of them is a pl nd we need a RDM so cmon plz."

Me: */blacklist*

*Player proceeds to follow me around and steal my mobs. Being the evil, insensitive jerk that I am, I lead the hapless fool into the area just outside Mhaura, where his face is promptly ripped off by a pair of Goblin Gamblers. Oops. My bad, friend.*

6.) Absurd AH prices. I am NOT paying more than 5K for a Lizard Jerkin. Period.

7.) Needlessly vague item descriptions. I'm looking at you, Return Ring.

Ya, who cares what the newbs think, I laughed my ass off for 10 minutes.

I'd guess it's some well deserved revenge for a few too many Foot Kicks to the face at lower levels.

Oh my god, yes! That thing is so deceptive and quirky, and useful only to folks from Sandy(who control most of the regions). It was handy a few times when I was still roaming Gustaberg though.

If we weren't going to be power-crazed dicks for the sake of being power-crazed dicks, we wouldn't have fucking chosen black mage!

People who won't exp in a zone because they haven't had an exp party in that zone before.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

the need to find yet another social shell to keep my sanity while lfp on my cor, and looking for a endgame shell that wont try to control my life. I'm willing to swap servers. Halp?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Mee Deegi the Punisher. Seriously, fuck you guy. I've camped this guy religiously certain days, and get nothing but stupid MNK fists when I claim him. I go and kill Yagudo Chanters in between windows for a chance at Carnage Elegy, and honestly with the amount I've gotten I've almost got enough to buy the non Rare/Ex O Kote.

No wonder I hated playing that f**king job

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I loved my BLM, too bad I never got to play it because I was always on WHM.

WHM was my true love, but it's like a song that you really love, so you keep playing it over and over again, until you get so fucking sick of it that you can't stand to listen to it anymore. Then you give it a rest for a while, and eventually revisit it, then you realize that you still love it but just in moderation. That's how WHM was starting to feel for me toward the end.

I enjoyed BLM. I was thinking about that today, how much I really did enjoy just running out to Mt. Z for a little while to get a buffer back, the sense of accomplishment from solo farming sea organs and whatnot, and just the fun it was nuking on HNMs. Even though on HNMs half the damn time I was still casting cures. Old habits die hard, lol.

I am starting to miss the game a little. I bet if I had a working credit card right now I'd already be playing (and bitching about playing), but I do miss a lot about the game.

I know that quitting was the right choice, though, because it just held too much importance in my life - I wasn't spending enough time on the things that were actually important in life. Scheduled my life around that game, I'd skip class if an HNM window was open during class and I was up for one of the drops.

It does make me kind of sad that I'll never see Aksannyi (the ORIGINAL) again.


And yes, I realize this doesn't quite go in the pet peeves thread, but perhaps it is a minor peeve of mine that it's still hard for me to just let go and walk away.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

People have been standing in your spot in Whitegate. I've been trying to fend them off, but no go <.<

And uh, you can just do a light amount events, although on Hades that's saying a mouthful.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

If I play even a little I will get addicted again, too easily. I won't be able to pull it back. That is part of the reason that I quit. That and the money thing.

[TheGrandMom]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Yep thats what addiction is......a little is never enough

As for money....food or FFXI....food or FFXI....hmmmmm....ya I don't think there will be much FFXI for long without food so I'd opt for the food myself. lol
