What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Yeah I'm just in the 'often' range, not 'constantly'.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Being camped on top of while soloing. I'll be soloing SMN or SMN and getting some nice exp then a level Synch'd party will usually move in and start killing everything in sight. Normally I would just find another camp or something but when they are the only party in the zone and they start yelling at me when I ask if they can use a different camp especially when there party of 5 75's and one person in the level synch range it's quite annoying.

If I'm using that particular camp it is usually because it's the safest camp for someone who is soloing. Is it really too much to ask for you to at the very least save the mobs I'm exping on? I mean I've had parties move in and be perfectly fine with leaving the mobs I'm targeting. That is nice because I can deal with links their puller pulls and they can help me would with links and aggro and everyone is happy. Some parties are nice enough to move to another camp or even recommend a better camp to me.

But recently especially with level synch I've been running into high level idiots, usually in in full endgame gear, always with a PL in full EG gear and usually in US parties, in level synch parties who think it is perfectly fine to basically move in and kill everything that moves then laugh, taunt and yell at me when I ask them to at least leave something behind. Extra jerkass points to them if there are one of the helpful parties in the area cooperating with the other people there and they are voking mobs off them too.

There is something about those parties that makes me wonder just what if with these people. I mean you don't walk into an already crowded camp and go in and act like you own the place, especially when there are other camps that are wide open for you and you, the party of 83% Lv75's can easily get to. Besides why the hell are you meriting in low levels camps? That is what Besieged and campaign are for. All of the selfish morons from campaign who only look out for number one seem to have moved to level syncs in low level camps and it's seriously sucking the fun out of levelling up my subs.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

They can't /brd in campaign anymore so they take their anger out on soloers. (Lol)

I feel your pain. I've watched my friend (the original person who played this character) level her Beastmaster to 75, so I can feel your pain. She has been camped on countless times. As Dragoon, I've done my fair share of soloing, and let me tell you. Partys think they have priority over you because they can kill faster.

Usually it is the party leader who goes to the camp and says "Oh... its just a Summoner her, we can camp here."

I usually don't worry about it. Normally people would come back with a higher level job and just own everything and get back at them, but you gotta be the better wo(man), and just walk away and go somewhere else. There is a chance that someone in the party will feel bad and go "hey that was kind of messed up" but don't count on it.

Its painful...I know...

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

My pet peave is warp macros. BLM was my first job to 75, i've had the job for a very long time. I've never had a warp macro. The thing is it wouldnt that bad if the people wouldnt be so bad about it. The reason is people hit the damn thing in the middle of an exp party! In my experiance it was always RDM's too. I havent seen it happen in a really long time but i remember it being one of the most frustraiting/annoying things. One time in Boyayda Tree i was exping my 65PLD with a frien who was 65ish SMN and our RDM also around the same level. RDM hits the warp macro and is in Jeuno. Doh! So we wait. RDM comes back takes a good 10-15 min. Maybe longer. 5 or 10 pulls in.... again i hear the warp sound going off. DOH~!!! RDM was gone again Had to wait some more.

Hah sorry. I know i have a ton of pet peaves in this game but i thought id just share that one.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I've done that before on SMN. I had a 2 hour macro for BC fights and accidentally hit it. Thankfully it was a Jungles level sync so most of the stuff there is squishy enough to blow up with Astral Flow anyway.

I do know one RDM who has Chainspell+Escape macro'd for soloing and the like. Guess what she accidentally hit instead of Convert at the end of a BCNM (Up in Arms no less) resulting in the party losing the treasure chest? Thankfully that BC is pretty easy anyway and I have a farming perma for that BC (PLD, MNK/DNC and WHM/SMN with capped Divine magic for repose = easiest BCNM evar) so it wasnt a HUGE loss. Just an "OMG THAT COULD HAVE BEEN MY KRAKEN CLUB!" moment for the RDM (Going on "Your Orb, Your Chest" item distribution rules with the orb holder for the current round set as quartermaster).

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Joy, a loss in Windy because my LS still is incapable of following simple directions and doing easy shit. Death House aggro to boot. And 1 single AF drop, the only one in the zone noone needed.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

People who kill the Goblins that summon pets for me to XP off of, even after I ask them nicely not to. For fuck's sake, either invite me to your fucking party or let me solo off of pets.

Just Sneak Attack them

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I just read this whole thread.

As for a peeve, I have a feeling that one of my first peeves once I get the game will be people expecting me to know things that I obviously do not.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I am a smart Black Mage.

I bring a Reraise Hairpin with me to XP, and I'm also very careful about aggro. I generally don't die, but that hairpin allows me some much needed security should the Goblin decide to link with its pet just as my spell goes off.

Fuck this game, though, because right after I cast a nuke, my game is going to crash completely. Yes, before I get Sleep II off. Yes, of course I zone back in dead, and, of course my beautiful RR2 is gone because this game can't see that I disconnected and did not zone.

So, 44k spent on a Reraise Hairpin, equals 4400g spent on one charge that was a complete waste. Since, you know, my cautious self didn't get to even make use of that reassuring Reraise that I made sure I had. Now, I'm not terribly stingy about gil, and I've got plenty of it lying around, but wasting charges sure does irritate me.

Fuck.
This.
Laptop.

It's not fair that I lose my RR if I disconnect. So now, I have to eat a R1 because the spare account I have lying around only has R1. Fuck. Better than HP, but still. Fuck.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

That's what you get for not having leveled WHM to 75 again!

[Aksannyi]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

If you think I'm going to level WHM on an account that doesn't belong to me, you don't know me very well.

On my second account ... I'll get around to it. Eventually.

Pet Peeve: You bust your ass for someone and they (1) server transfer or (2) quit shortly after you help them achieve some goal or thiers.

Pet Peeve #2: People who think they're stars. This actually happens a lot in the LBR LS and we totally don't facillitate or encourage it in any way. Someone will hear the podcast, transfer over to our server, join the LS and think that's all they gotta do to get on the show. We have an application process for a reason, plus, just putting on the pearl to beg for help on shit doesn't really win people over.

One guy just transferred over to the server Pet Food Alpha is on because he lost out to someone else in LBR. I don't fancy his chances with PFA given he likes to brag about avoiding levelling a /WHM sub for his RDM. And he always begs for help on NMs, but never offers to help anyone

I expect a repeat of history.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Not having a 2nd competent tank in our LS that isn't me is killing me. We have 15 someodd PLDs(one is the shellholder and main tank) and not a single one other than the main I can trust to tank anything more than a Wild Rabbit. The ones that don't have flat out awful gear are just incapable of reading their chatlog when we say little things like "xxx mob next" or "kite it" 15 FREAKING TIMES IN BOTH PARTY AND LS CHAT, most have both flat out awful gear and the illiteracy issue.

I asked if someone else could be 2nd tank for Omega last night so that I could actually play normal RDM for a change...and by the time it's at 10% I'm tanking it as /DRK because noone else is unretarded enough to read their friggin' chatlog.
