      I'm very bored at work and was messing around found the FFXI calculater and really depressed myself. Thought I was doing well with my merits for samurai for the time I put in which isnt much with all the event I go to. Capped store tp merits and 4/8 GK 1/5 Overwhelm and 1/5 Str. Put all the remaining merits i want to get into the calculator and it comes to the grand total of 1,150,000 xp >< only takes just over 800,000 to get a job from 1-75. Time to get my head down and wack some birds. These arnt all JSM but theyll all help my sam but didnt think it was going to be that much.

        I had been doing a little xp-ing in Tahrongi, reached 1tnl, and decided that was enough. So I head back to the Buburimu outpost, talk to the warp NPC, and... Goblin Ambusher right BEHIND the fence? WTF? I probably should've run to zone, but I was too freaked out from being caught by surprise with him being where I was absolutely certain he did not belong. Poof 160xp. (I had RR up, at least.)

          Yea, I hate using the OP warp. I get aggroed from the gobs at times when I warp into that area.

            Tonight's headaches
            Paladins who think they need to pull another mob when the one we're working on is only half dead (even though we already have a designated puller).

            Paladins who insist on burning through their mp on cures when their hp isn't even yellow.

            Parties that are determined to hit any links I try to sleep.

            God that was an awful party.

                  It's facepalm worthy regardless.

                  PLDs should only pull in three places. Dynamis. Einherjar. Limbus.

                  If you even bring a PLD to Limbus, that is, because you don't really need one. Anywhere else? Wait for the mob and voke it FFS.

                    I'm mixed up now. Are Paladins generally supposed to pull in exp parties, or are they supposed to let another player pull?
                    I always figured they were supposed to peel hate off the puller as they got to camp.

                      And that brings me to the next pet peeve. Paladin's who like to pull (cept for the stuff that Aksannyi mentioned)

                        In xp? No. They are not. They are supposed to rip hate from the puller and keep it while the party fights.

                          To be fair, I've seen pullers so slow, it made other people so impatient that they start pulling on their own.
                          Bamboo shadows sweep the stars,
                          yet not a mote of dust is stirred;
                          Moonlight pierces the depths of the pond,
                          leaving no trace in the water.

                            Yeah, but when the mob still has half it's hp left and we end up fighting two at once?
                            That's when something's gone horribly wrong.

                              Campaign rant...

                              1) I wish the maps for campaign would update more real-time. Whenever I retrace to start campaigns, it seems I have to tele to several areas before finding an actual battle. Typically, the first battle will have already ended before I get there, even though the map still show's a battle. Or, I get there, get my tags, and the battle ends before I even hit a mob. Or I get there and there are no mobs, and I wait around for 10 minutes only to have the campaign end with no more mobs coming.

                              2) I hate getting to the battle only to find that there are about 1,235,685 NPCs clustered around the one who gives allied tags. Can't hardly even target him to get tags. Or, there are a ton of mobs gathered around him, and you know if you get tags that it's instant death.

                              3) Sometimes, there are simply too many NPC's helping out. And other times, there's none....give us a few but not too many.

                              4) Why the tele point is so far from the battle in some areas?

                              5) I usually try to first go to a battle where I can buy a reraise, but sometimes it's not possible. And, inevitably, when you don't have reraise, you will die and likely lie there for 20 minutes as mages with light staves repeadedly trample over your rotting corpse. Why are some people so inconsiderate that they won't even raise you for 60exp? When I used to do campaign as WHM, I constantly raised people. One time, after being stepped on repeatedly by a RDM who wouldn't raise me, I asked him why the hell he didn't raise me, and he said, "can't you see I'm rdm/drk and came here to DD and not raise people?" What an inconsiderate ass. Then there was the time I died right next to the tags NPC, and laid there after the battle ended... the last 3 guys to tele out were all mages and didn't bother to raise me.

                              6) And what the heck's up with Fortifications now? You hit on the fortification for like 20 minutes and get like 50 exp. They should at least make it worth our while.
