I wouldn't call being able to skill up Marksmanship earlier than level 22 worthless, and even with Bronze Bullets, 12 D isn't terrible compared to the shitty swords and daggers you can access at those levels.

Still a waste of gil, especially when a COR could just level marksmanship by levelling a RNG sub, you know, like they should be doing from the outset.

From a RNG standpoint, guns aren't really even worth using til 50.

From a THF and NIN standpoint... why ever use a gun?

My RNG was 37 before COR even came out, and at the time I had only used Archery to get to 37 since I had that leveled already from RDM. RNG sub doesn't mean automatic marksmanship head start, lol. That's just a good idea if you are just now starting COR.

Oh don't worry I'm going to be filling in when I get that enspell damage+2 earring to go with my Hollow.

I really need a freaking Justice Sword now.

Every update recently has cool shit that makes me want to play again.

Then I remember sitting in Whitegate or Jeuno for hours hoping for a party invite. And I still consider playing again anyway.

I've just about given up on parties.

Just about any melee dd job can solo now, if you use the right strategy

I gave up on parties years ago.

If only I could solo all the missions.

While I used to whore myself out on beast blood in Zi'tah, RMT were making it practically impossible to gain a real profit there in recent months. You have to remember that with each change SE makes to the system, RMT shift tactics.

SE isn't out to just ban these guys, either, they want to destroy them financially and psycholgically. RMT countermeasures have been a growing headgame for quite some time and its been working, so I don't have a problem with the changes SE is making.

Hell, Sundi made no apologies the other day, he just flat-out said it was psychological warfare against RMT.

They add Goblin Bounty Hunters, change quest level and fame requirements, introduce new ways to prevent fishbots and quest exploits. They recently quashed those unsolicited emails and PMs in POL, too.

Its all an effort to discourage RMT. If you feel discouraged by it, its probably because you don't have a varied means of income within the game. I don't know how I manage getting by, but I just do. My Conquest Points, Imperial Standing and Allied Notes are often thin because I cash it all in regularly.

I think the increased number of chests we're seeing also has a bit to do with the adjustment for NPC sale items. The addition of MMM will also bring a new means of making revenue as well.

I disagree with this for one simple reason: Lowering the prices that these items sell for IS NOT going to stop RMT from farming here. Sure, itll take them a little longer to farm up the same amount of gil, but THEY can farm 24/7 whereas your average player has OTHER things to do............so in response to Sage Sundi "YOU CAN GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU POMPOUS BAG OF SHIT!" Psychological warfare MY ASS! You think this will put a dent in their operations? Instead of weeding out RMT's all you're doing is making other farming areas even MORE competitive, all the while pushing RMTs to go back to farming lowbie areas like Ordelle's Caves, Giddeus, and Vomp Hill. This update has me more miffed than anything else.

Right because guns from 22-29 just suck balls


Last PT I had on COR I was the top DD lmao.

We were WAR NIN DRK COR BRD SCH I believe. With Chaos Roll, Doubler Minuet and Rice Dumplings I was shooting IT Crabs for 140 a pop >_>b

I ended up tanking most of the fights because of this but we were managing chain 6 so it really didn't matter. Gained 3 levels in 2 hours that day it was insane.

This.

I'd kill to be able to experience all the story FFXI has to offer but it just never seems to work out for me, and I don't really want to resort to watching all the cutscenes on youtube or something -_-

I cry on the inside every time I hear Distant Worlds in my car.

yes this.
lfp doesnt bother me at all but
standing in whitegate shouting for members for 3 hours for a mission; finally having everyone ready; traveling to the place you gotta go only so some douche didnt bring sneak/invis then everyone wipes like 4 times getting to wherever bcnm you're headed is; only to have some other tool not have gotten a particular CS so he can't enter and while you're waiting for him to get it and get back someone fake d/cs so then a ls member/friend comes to replace to help out only to have someone else afk to eat dinner right as you're buffing to enter the bcnm then while waiting for them to get back another person fake d/cs then at this point you're all furious so you do the bcnm with 5 people instead of 6 and that 6th was crucial and you guys fail the fight and everyone is ecstatic and leaves complaining
FUCKING AWESOME WAY TO WASTE EIGHT HOURS
legendary run-on scentence i'm sorry
