Why, why, WHY will some people not team up for trials? We're doing the same trial. There are a finite number of mobs here. WHY MAKE IT HARDER ON EVERYONE?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Because people are scum?

What trials are you doing that no one will team up with you for?

Katana wind trials. Aquans in Labyrinth of Onzozo (wind weather in Terrigan has been spotty of late). Thankfully I got it done anyway (twice). Thanks Wind day and weather at the same time!

But there are seriously only a few non-Too-Weak mantas in there. I asked the other NIN in there if he'd like to team up and he said No thanks. So we just competed for pops.

Now it's on to Dragons (x2), and then Diremites, after which I can do Vermin, and do Diremites again at the same time.

SAM AF head piece quest. Go to norg. Ok, standard practice here. PITA, but whatever. Ok, now go to Jeuno, and then Mhuara, and then Bastok. Ok, roundabout but sure, whatever. Ok go down to the palborough BC now, then head BACK to Norg, then BACK to Palborough (Thank God for Nexus Cape here), do a BC, go back to Norg again, and then wait for JP midnight?

Go to solo NM. Find NM being camped by other people.

Return to mog house and take a long nap.

Subbing brd to blm. I do it all the time, hell most of the time I volunteer to because it just makes sense, but losing access to refresh, convert, stoneskin, blink, sneak, invis and oh my god especially gravity make me an emo taru.

With the jet black hair, the eyeliner, and the skin tight jeans and everything?

A LS member suggested that this game should have a feature where you log on and it gives you a random bit of advice every time you do. This mostly came about a solution to why people don't use <stpt> or <stal>. Unfortunately, I think such a feature would fall on blind eyes.

But I did have a suggestion for what kind of stuff should appear in it. For example:

Count the amount of times your character blinks in 30 seconds. If you blink less than 4 times (as a minimum), urdoinitwrong.

That would be if he played Dark Knight.

Farming Red Mage hand seals, oh my god.

I've done at least four Koghatu runs now and he's all "fuck you, I'm not dropping RDM hand seals". So tonight I joined a pickup run for Xibalba. Xibalba actually does drop hand seals, unfortunately he's all "fuck you, you're all dead now."

I can't win

After a recent incident in a LS seal farming party (in which I did end up with full PUP hand seals thanks to the JPs who were also there not needing them), I have decided that I will never again go BLM/BRD to any group that doesn't have a proper WHM. I can do them a lot more good as a WHM than I can as a proc monkey with no self-heal other than Drain and Paeon IV. The worst part was that we lost our first two pops because people kept dying and then the NM would go unclaimed and depop.

All of my hate... (I still need that Abyssite of Merit)

1) When I have a job that no one seems to want me to come as, but would say something like, "Level BRD. We need more BRDs." Then I level BRD, and it's, "Do you have any other job?"

2) I rush home to help someone or some people with something, then when it's my turn, I'm waiting 3+ hours just for 1 person to show up.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Going out seal farming. I really don't have anything more than that. Just... that.

[Neverslip]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Going out day after day after day to get people their Emp Weapon items when nobody needs the +2 items that drop from them. I'm not even needed unless someone KO's which doesn't happen very often... so I just stand there for hours at a time doing jack-shit. I love paying for a game then doing absolutely nothing on it except run from one NM to the next. I've been there to see Glavoid, Chloris, 'Ul', Briareus, and Carabosse get killed well over 75 times each. I just wish we'd not be so one-track about this shit so some of us that aren't going for Emp weapons get something out of it. Sure I have +2 items... do I have the seals yet for them? Nope. Starting to feel like being in my slave driving Dynamis LS again...

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

It's probably just a rut you're in Neverslip, I think I read somewhere that you are limited in play time right now. I can imagine using all your play time for that would definitely be mind numbing.
