Yeah, the mob claiming is so out of hand, it's ridiculous. I've even had mobs claimed before they even appeared on my screen during FATEs that only had 3 or 4 other players in it. I'm going to assume there's so many different kinds of scripts (If it's LUA, then really, it's just simple JavaScripting) you can d/l from those "trainer" sites, like they had for games like Diablo II, kind of like a cheater's boutique. Just d/l the degree of exploitation you're willing to engage in, I suppose.

I don't know how I'm going to level WVR to 50.

It's going to be bad enough just getting LTW to 50. Thankfully I don't need too much more wool, but WVR is just going to suck.


Linen Smocks are the cheapest option, but even then that still means I need more Velveteen. Either way I'm hosed.

If it's a problem with diremite web, do the leve in quarrymill--gives 11 diremite web for 1 initiate's slops (I was able to HQ them easily at level 30, I did HQ cotton turn-in's prior to this) and I can usually get about 3-5 turn-in's before it changes. I just check the leve guy periodically to see if the reward is diremite webs, though some times I do it for the 44 lightning shards as you go through them so easily. With some patience, it's not hard to farm up diremite this way; I ended up with like 6 stacks of 99 direwebs via this leve over a period of a few days.

You can go the even more lazy route and farm up like, several stacks (probably 1000 or more) cotton and turn-in triple HQ leves and bypass the velveteen stage completely. Well I'm not exactly sure this route is lazy given it'll take a long time to farm up 1000+ cotton bolls....and then craft them all into HQ yarn and etc.

*sigh* So that finally happened. This is after deleting all the (Deleted) entries. I've had to blacklist at least a dozen tell spammers today, and it's not even prime time yet. I know this complaint is so last month, but that just makes it worse that SE hasn't fixed this spam problem yet. The wall of shouts in town has stopped, but I think that's less to do with SE as much as RMT realizing that everyone filters shout and yell now and redirecting all their efforts to tell spam.

Too bad you can't counterspam them ... would be interesting if everyone did that would they d/c? Hur hur.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

I've kept mine under 100 by deleting older entries. I haven't ever had an old one reappear either.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

Deleting down to 180 every morning is what I've started doing. The one problem I have with that is that there are some people on my black list who are not spammers but huge assholes, and I'm having trouble remembering which ones they are among all the stolen account names.

SE may actually be doing something, though. I've noticed the tells I get no longer contain URLs. They'll name the character after the website and then reference that in the tell, which indicates some filtering might be taking place.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

I believe the list is arranged by "Date Added" with oldest at the top. It's not exactly an asshole filter, but maybe it will help you keep track of where they might be in the list.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

Levelling my SCH while also farming the Battlemage's Set for Roleplay Gear. Every single Tank I have been getting on the last boss doesn't understand the concept of running out of the breath attack. It's getting ridiculous, it's not exactly a hard fight either. Here are the tactics:

1. Keep the boss out of the puddles.
2. Don't stand in shit.

I inevitably end up OOM every time and we wipe.

I just got finished with that myself recently, and it was hell. Eventually got all of it (minus the belt, never once saw it drop) and honestly it wasn't really worth it. Only the body and coat are really amazing and hard to replace. For the moment, the major overcrowding in Northern Thanalan is my peeve. Getting my ACN to 50 (or at least 49 so I can start to finish the story) is going to suck balls.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

Recently gender-swapped my character to a female Miqo'te (which actually looks pretty damn cute). The only issue is, that even though my name is the same as it was before, I'm still getting at least 10-15 creepy tells per day asking if I'm a girl.

In two days I leveled from 31 to 41, which I hope expresses how insignificant these dungeons are in the long run. I wouldn't sweat them, too much.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

Yeah the dungeons aren't huge in the long run, it's just frustrating to deal with idiots when trying to farm Roleplay/Town Gear.

I might just form a farming group with the FC, or go bug one of my Linkshells later.

Dungeons are actually not bad for leveling, but not to farm for gear (at least not pre-50) You will eventually get every piece of gear to drop and roll on over the course of the next 3-5 years (depending on how long the game will continue to be supported by both SE and the playerbase) and since the game is not like other games, where you may roll alternative characters to try a different class or profession, you can bet that you're going to be running these dungeons eventually at some point in time.

My current pet peeve is that people are dog piling the markets on 10% of the total listing, gutting the market, but you have so many "niche" areas where the price for the items are borderline-criminal.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

44 runs of Garuda and 31 runs of Ifrit and I have still not seen the lance drop. I've been told I can't go to any Titan HM attempts without it, even though I end up out-performing people who are better geared than me. Thinking of just telling them off and trying to get a DF group for it at this point.
