Things you don't want to hear when you're invited to a PT.

[Omgwtfbbqkitten]

with COR or BRD in PT, PLD: "Should I get a Red Mage?"

Does a bear s*** in the woods?

To BLM: "Do you mind being main healer?"

How about I cast Flare on that Colibri and kill you?

With COR and BRD present, RDM: "[main][heal][No Thanks.]"

Do the math, Nimrod, we're talking 7-10 MP a tick before other bonuses. STFU and get to curing.

Leader: "Where should we EXP?"

You weren't already thinking about that?

Anyone (in regards to PT setup or camp): "I don't care, I just want EXP."

Please EXP away from me then.

RDM: "I'm just /anon to avoid being bombarded with invites."

I'm hiding my underlevelled subjob.

Leader: "I hate how COR/BRD/RDM are always pretending to be AFK."

OK, you got us, we're not really AFK. We just know some of you turned your nose up at our melee jobs when you were the "refresher." Karma's a bitch, ain't it?

SMN: "Is it ok if I skill up my dagger?"

DIE.

NIN (I heard this one yesterday): "When I tank, everyone gets a piece of the hate pie."

I just use Utsusemi onry.

BRD: "I was inspired to level BRD after I saw a video of one tanking Fafnir."

I'm a THF in dire need of merits and an HNMLS. Additionally, I don't have a /WHM sub.

PLD: "What's a parade gorget?"

DIE.

COR: "(Anything to do with pirates in macro)"

You're not Captain Jack Sparrow, you're sending no one to Davy Jone's Locker, I won't be walking the plank. Shut up, "matey."

Anyone: "Search showed 100 people in Thickets, but let's try Mamool Ja Staging point anyway,"

Arrrrrrgh. /slams head against a wall.

Anyone: "Hi.how.r.u.doing.2day?"

My spacebar is broken... I'm too cheap to fix it so I'm going to annoy the piss out of you with my abbreviations and periods.

I don't know that wishing death on a PLD that doesn't know about the Parade Gorget is terribly friendly, but the rest seem pretty on point.

I've actually seen BLM/NIN used vs. Colibri in PT, but it has to be played well and in very good coordination with the tank.

1. If the spell doesn't kill the bird, it is best that the hate be redirected temporarily at the BLM/NIN so that the spell is absorbed by the BLM's Utsusemi. In all cases, however, some /WHM or WHM should kindly throw a Bar- spell of the appropriate element.

2. Ancient Magic should only be used when the bird's death is quite certain.

This BLM performed very effectively vs. the Colibri. The tank did get hit by a Flare or something but the bird died very shortly afterward.

I think I just have it out of PLDs lately, most of the ones passing out invites have been bad at building effective PTs around themselves. I actually prefer PLDs as tanks.

Re: Things you don't want to hear when you're invited to a PT.

I'll agree with you there. I have met a lot of disappointing PLDs in the later levels of the game. It makes me angry (PLD was my long term job back in 2003/4) to see someone so clueless about how to build a party around themselves.

And Taskmage's post is probably my least favorite. Well, right after some random person sending me a tell (when there are no tanks or other support/healing jobs seeking) saying "Hey, let's make a party." I'm like "With what?"

The Pirate thing is a little out of line too....

lighten up, it's a game. I will give it to ya if the reference(s) are bad or otherwise highly annoying though.

Re: Things you don't want to hear when you're invited to a PT.

Oddly enough, the pirate speak doesn't bother me at all. As long as they aren't calling themselves Jack Sparrow (which I've seen a COR do) I don't mind it too much.


Now, I DO need to have chit chat with DRK and their use of song lyrics from Last Resort...

Re: Things you don't want to hear when you're invited to a PT.

I'm a Paladin, and I didn't know about the Parade Gorget's surge into must-have'd-ness.

Of course, I've been away for a good many months, so I've been out of the loop until just recently. I think I've been away since people kept wondering how you spawn the guy that drops it.

Of course I'll go out and get it, sounds nice to me, but sometimes, people just truly don't know.

I'll be honest. I just hate flavor text in macros. I realize that there isn't anything I can do about it, but I'm an essential information only kind of guy for macros. Chatting is another thing altogether, but then again, so few folks actually RP in FFXI.

A /tell that scared me a bit yesterday.

''Hello, want a pt?

I was afk so no reply (No I wasnt seeking. Was a random /tell)

''Please? I really need level 20''

Still afk

'' I just asked a LS mate , he said he can raise us when we die''

My reply: ......

''Is that a yes?''

I log

Well, at least he was honest about the fact that your death was pretty certain.

That one is far too familiar.

Oh he was honest about certain death... Just not mine!
