Yeah for real. You get in a good rotation and you know exactly where the next mob is going to pop so you just run around in that pattern. If the NMs placeholder is in that rotation, you'll just target and cast/ranged without even thinking.

Yep. When people used to still level on crabs, I can't count how many times I saw "Pulling -> Aquarius" in party chat.

gah. I can't believe everything on Bahamut is starting to get undercut. Spider-webs, Bugard Tusks, ram skins/horns, etc

Turrible. People are desperate for cash these days I guess...

definately feel you there.
The mergers and trials have made farming alot harder and known bst camps seem irrelevant intrial peoples eyes.
Thing you have to remember is we've had it easy and for a heck of a long time. It's about time people learnt the "old" ways.
with the watering down of the game for newbies. It's about time we had a bit of a struggle.

I've gone back to NM camping but even good things to camp have drastically fallen in price....I've started camping the super-low droprate items that are worth millions with hope for a big payoff

Being a dick for the good of the many. Last night we "jacked" dyna-sandy. We use the callendar. They didn't. They jacked a dyna from us twice before, so we sent a mule in for "dibs". NO GUILT on our end. USE THE GD CALLENDAR.site like civilized people. After all the dramaz put up from the other LS, we got someone seriously considering setting aside lottsa gilz/run only to make the other LS's life a living hell now. I came in on the ass end of the whole situation but it sounded like it really got ugly.

Structure is good. Using the dyna callendars isn't difficult and really should be a no brainer.

Is there an official dyna calendar?
I still think Dyna should be instanced. There's limits in place so it couldn't really be abused.
Also it would be easier for people to attend.
I've seen my friends having to stay up until 3/4am to be ready then factor in the time spent waiting and other such delays. Then the time to do the event it's rediculous.

So much for the warning when you log in.

It's not officially set up by SE... but that shouldn't matter. Many LSs on a majority of the servers go with this. Organization for an event like Dyna is needed and the people who wish to just "first come, first serve it" are inconsiderate and lazy, imHo.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I can't speak for other LS's, but there is a VERY well followed calendar for Bahamut. Most people consider it an official one, though obviously SE hasn't put any kind of thing to it.

Personally, we haven't had any issues with other people taking our zones. Occasionally, someone doesn't schedule enough time, which cuts into our run, but we've never had issues beyond that. At least, none that I have seen.

Edit:

Doesn't seem bahamut uses the link above, we use

This is the problem... Cerberus didn't ever EVER use it. Hades did.... quite religiously.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Midgard didn't use it either. It was a race to the zone.

The demise of Rolanmart

Not getting any invites after putting my flag up for the first time in months.

Forgetting what in the heck I was trying to accomplish before I began my hermitage in Jeuno.

Realization that I probably shouldn't be spending my gil on front line gear because I don't have space in my mog house and probably won't get much use out of it anyway as a Red Mage.

Lack of stylish hats in stock on the AH. Specifically Raven Berret to replace my Red Cap(during parties at least).

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Trying not to step on the Scholar's toes in the Regen department.

Roaming parties, because people get careless or overconfident, which ends in a wipe.

Level Sync taking away my fun toys.

Having another mage in the party pulling with enfeebles and not sticking with one particular enfeeble, so I end up wasting mp checking that they're all applied properly.

Being slow to dispel enemy buffs. It drives me nuts to see that buff text scrolling out of sight and then realize I haven't even started casting dispel yet. I Я Twitchy Mage.

Cactaur popping up on me when I'm doing Page 1 in Western Altepa Desert on BST. Seriously, I spam Wide Scan during combat to track it if its up. Don't see the fucker, 10 seconds later "LOL RAPING YOUR FACE AND I'LL RESIST TAME TOO". Died 3 times today cause of him, would have dinged 47 >_<

"LOL RAPING YOUR FACE AND I'LL RESIST TAME TOO".

Tame never sticks when you really need it to. >_<

Midgard didn't use it either. It was a race to the zone.

True, and now that we're dropped into Quetz, Dynamis scheduling is a LOT more crowded. I think my LS is trying to get into the schedule as well, but we never were ones for planning a month in advance (not that you really could on Midgard).
