Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?
Solmyr hit it on the head. There are times when tanks or pullers have lost just enough HP for a Regen alone to heal it and aren't in any danger of taking any more damage soon. They may be very good at keeping shadows up all the time of we may just simply be waiting for the next pull or moving on to the next area in Nyzul or Dyna. It could be that everyone is /NIN so the front line fighters aren't in danger of very suddenly losing huge chunks of MP (well unless you're doing Sky Gods or HNMs).
There are times when the party has lost a chunk of HP which is when it's really nice to break out the curagas but even then, if you only have say 3 people who have lost HP and aren't in danger of being hit anytime soon you have three separate Regen spells to drop on those couple of party members that aren't currently in mortal danger.
A good RDM will see this and maybe drop a Curaga or Cure 1 if the regen spells won't quite bring everyone back up to full health.
A bad RDM will just ignore the fact that you are casting regens and just spam Cure IV everywhere.
A good RDM will let you main heal because the strength of the Stoneskin effect given to you by Solace is based on how much HP you have cured.
A bad RDM will just cockblock your cure stores and in the long run cause both of you to use more MP because the tank isn't getting the capped stoneskin effect from your cures.
A good RDM will see that you are /SCH and communicate with you to see if Refresh or Sublimation is the best option for your MP regen. (Hint: Sublimation saves the RDM lots of MP in parties that have lots of people who need refreshing)
A bad RDM will just refresh himself while staring at you blankly when you ask them to refresh the tank.
A good RDM will split hate cycles with the WHM. Tank, 3DDs, WHM and RDM means that the WHM and RDM are only ever hasting two people each.
A bad RDM will stand and stare then start overwriting the hastes you started to cast to keep the DDs happy.
Did I strike a nerve or something because you are the only person to take offence to someone venting for the first time in months in a thread designed for venting 
.
1) Aion is a good game, you should try playing it some time rather than saying it sucks without proving to me that you have even played it. Someone not liking a game doesn't mean it sucks. using your logic that must mean that every game I've played and not like must also instantly suck.
2) Aksannyi rants on every other half post but you don't call her out on it so what really gives you the right for whine at me for venting when there are other people who you should really be calling out before me.
3) I play it because I like the job. The quality of my party members have nothing to do with the job I play. it's also not my fault that I have to put up with a lot of crap when playing as a WHM. You should try playing it sometime. If you are as over-sensitive as you post implies then you won't last 15 minutes as a WHM.
If a tank dies due to his own stupidity it's your fault.
If a dd is too stupid to watch his hate and dies it's your fault.
If an unavoidable wipe happens in any sort of party it's your fault.
If you give someone an R1 instead of an R3 to save time and MP you instantly suck
If you don't poisona or blindna a low priority party member in an emergency you are instantly gimo.
If you don't instantly poisona or blindna a low priority party member instead of say, the tank you instantly suck.
If the alliance wipes because a Sleepga II got resisted it's your fault.
If you run low on MP because the puller won't let you rest it's your fault.
If the PLD runs out of MP and you don't have Devotion up you instantly suck for not meriting it instead of Cures, Regens or Barspells.
If you have to curebomb the tank (or risk losing the tank) and take hate it's your fault.
If you ever dare to flash the mob the rest of the party usually starts screaming at you for "trying to tank".
If you ask a RDM to stop curing over your regens in a non-emergency situation then "UR HAELING IT RONG!"
If you can't find a rep when you need to leave the party it's always your fault for the party disbanding even if you stayed up until 4am for this group.
If you don't heal random strangers outside your party in Besieged or Campaign you instantly suck even if they refuse to tell you where they are because hey all WHMs are omniscient right?
If the puller pulls masses of links it's your fault that the party wipes because you didn't sub BLM over SCH.
4) If you ask me to waste a merit point so you can have that extra few points of defence I don't know if I would be able to stop laughing at you long enough to drop the pearl. Seriously if you want me to throw away merits and MP so you can have a whole 5-13 extra defence I would be seriously worried about the quality of your shell's tanks.
5) Yes I'm sorry that I'm unable to get merits because my server's playerbase is too ignorant to invite a WHM to a merit party. I'm sorry that I have to settle for 5k/hour pick up groups or force myself through hours and hours of campaign. Wow I must really, really suck at this game if I chose a class that I like rather than a class that will get me party invites all over the place
