      At least the drop rate for Lynx hides was improved. That's good.

        Good update, BST pets were a pain in the new areas. Surprised they didn't increase Gnole Claw drops though.

          I wish they had. I hate when farming quest-items are like pulling teeth.

            They were up POST update, not pre. That's my issue.

            And given that campaign battle seems completed screwed now, I forsee another one tomorrow. Joy. Oh and don't forget the problem on Hades which will need resolving across all servers no doubt.

                My only real problem is between a freezing Xbox, shitty internet service from Comcast, and the constant maintanences, I haven't been able to keep my bazaar mule online @ the Batallia Swap Meet for more than 5 hours at a time in 2 weeks.

                  You make it sound like they are doing these updates for fun. Like arbitrary updates just to produce downtime.

                  Any online presence strives for as much uptime as possible. You can bet that if they have to schedule downtime that its pretty damn necessary. But I guess being able to possibly exploit bugs in the game before they fix them is ok though.

                  They give plenty of lead time. They let us know when and how long the update will take. They give us a detailed explanation afterwards. Not sure what else you can ask for.

                        I'm not super picky, chocolate or yellow. Pretty much anything but carrot cake.

                          Deal. I don't like carrot cake either.

                            I'd buy it.

                                Seriously, I'd probably not know anything about FFXI game mechanics, photoshopping, or GIF animating if it wasn't for the fact that I have a boring desk job and superiors that can't tell the difference between me putting in 5% effort and 80% effort.
