Biggest Pet Peeve: Brace yourself everyone...

People who play WoW and tell you that you should stop playing FFXI and "Start playing a good MMO"

F**K you and F**K your WoW. If I wanted to play it, I would have by now, ok? Go drink your Mana Potion you bought at 7-11 and compare your gear score with someone who cares.

Trying to figure out how to make Alchemy profitable at 30.

Most of the market seems flooded, and prices are so low that I won't even break even unless I HQ consistently. A lot of the synths that aren't flooded don't seem to sell often enough to even bother with the tax of sticking them up on the AH.

Maybe it's time to hit up the regional Auction Houses again...*frustration*

The disengage -> engage weapon delay!

For those who dont know what I am talking about:

1) It is when you are fighting two mobs and when one dies, you put away your weapon. Then you have to engage the other one. During the time it takes to engage, the mob has been pounding on you for a couple rounds.

2) You are farming and you are able to 1shot your targets. Same as above, disengage when the mob is dead and engage the new mob.

(FYI:There is away around being engaged by two mobs. You have to position yourself to beable to see both mobs through first person view. This will cause you to switch targets instead of disengaging.)

Sorry, I'm not really following you.... but if I am thinking of what you're thinking then:

??Fix for #1 /autotarget on & the macro /assist <bt> will be your friends.

??Fix for #2 farm with a crossbow one-shot - Sure, you're spending gil on bolts but the time you save from r.a.'n your mobs makes up for that in gil, time, and sanity.

?? ??

... not sure if that helps or not... hopefully it does.

Nope, it wont help.

Fix for #1: You still will disengage (aka put your weapon away) and have to wait to reengage if due to the cooldown timer.

Fix for #2: You made an assumption that the job I use is able to use a crossbow/and decent any range weapon...BLM FTW!

Your solution is to stop hitting things then. Silly BLM with your staff thinking you can hit things.

Oh, and autotarget is what you want and can be very dangerous.

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki//autotarget

If auto-target is turned on, when attacked by more than one monster, auto-attack will switch to the next enemy after the current one is defeated.

No, you don't put your weapon away.

This would be more annoying if every Dark Knight on every server hadn't shown us why it's not a terrible idea.

Party leaders who invite you to a party and then log off with no word.
More irksome is when they log back in about 15 minutes later and flag up on a different job.

Getting a party has been a nightmare lately.

Actually. you wont. You need to be facing the mob when it dies. I hate this on drk during fast parties. I'm sitting there trying to engage at 100% tp, and the party has the thing like 1/4 dead by the time I ma mange to engage, and weapon skill, then it repeats...

As for new Peeve... Ugh... Maat fight as drk... 0/2 atm... XD

I almost killed him the second time, was doing great. Then he just howling fisted me out of no where, and killed me.

Command/autotarget - FFXIclopedia, the Final Fantasy XI wiki - Characters, items, jobs, and more

If auto-target is turned on, when attacked by more than one monster, auto-attack will switch to the next enemy after the current one is defeated.

No, you don't put your weapon away.

I use a scythe with some haste/-delay, Acc, and Str build. The mobs I fight cannot be 1 shot with my Kirin's Pole. The reason why I dont cast is because you have to rest to get mp back. Why rest when you do not need to.

Autotarget only works if you can see the attacking mobs in first person view.

I honestly still don't understand the gripe, sorry ... maybe it's cuz I've solo'd ALOT and had to deal with adds ALOT so am uber used to /autotarget's wierd lil nuances... only time I ever get hang-ups on /autotarget is when the puller has more than one mob in-line for the party. Sometimes I'll /autotarget the furthest mob which won't be the one the rest of the party is going to... but, then it's just a quick "switch target" away. I have never used shifting to FP to line mobs up in order to /autotarget them.

BLM/Thf ??? I'd hope so at least... otherwise you're just wasting time.

~~~~~~~~~~~{that reminds me of a peeve}

When I was lowbie level I hated Thf/Blm's who'd train all the mobs I was trying to kill (typically in K. Ranperre's)...then they'd ZAP them all right in front of my tear soaked eyes. Not saying you're guilty of this Los... I was merely reminded of past pain.

This may be why I get all crazy-paranoid when I farm a lowbie area... tho I try and take a particularly distant section of the zone and am more than happy to leave many of the mobs alone when I see xp'ers out and about... cept the bees, crawlers, and thugs... them's mine... MINE I SAY... MINE!!!!!!!!!

There is a crossbow/decent range weapon a BLM can use? I must have missed it. What is(are) its(their) name(s) so I can buy one next time I play.

I only did that when I was a noob as BLM but after I was educated that -ga spells decreases the rate of drops, I stoped. That was back in 2005.
