The server I'm on is not a nice place to be. But before I quit again, I just wanted to try and see if there were any dualbox LSes or servers with people who don't have a stick up their ass about it. My characters are becoming really slick and Shiva does not deserve the fruits of my efforts because of the way they have treated me. Part of me wants to stick it out to spite all the haters but without anyone to play with the game is kind of pointless.

I agree man, shiva is pretty bad lately. Phoenix huh?
-
08-09-2013, 07:40 AMDaemonYeah Phoenix has been pretty good. Haven't seen that much drama for awhile now. I mean its not a perfect server but we do have people. I've never had problems making groups.Quote:

Japs and some of us group up for WoE around 10 am EST. My LS has been doing events and inviting lots of people to do Delve stuff. -
08-09-2013, 07:45 AMInafkingI haven't even bothered to buy Aldouin because all shouts are R/E/M only and I'll never have any without people to help.Quote:

08-09-2013, 08:05 AMDaemonMy suggestion is if you decide to buy Seekers of Adoulin you could join Delve parties and SoA NM hunts with WHM only until you earn enough Plasm and Kis to buy some Delve gear. Mages don't need REM and having Bayld gear is more than enough with AF3 to get you by. Just try to have Cure Potency gear. Some servers don't care, while some may require you to have capped potency 50%.Quote:

Beastmaster/Bard seals can be obtained solo through Stearc Subligar Quest : Brygid the Stylist Strikes Back
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Br...t_Strikes_Back
With BST you can solo dynamis for relic armor for your RDM also solo all your +2's for every job.
I know people hate to hear someone tell you this but rather than depend on other people sitting in town all day you could make progress on your own. I had to do it too because no one wanted to help me with stuff like this.
Now I did write a guide for those who are struggling just like you. Please read it.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...egy-Guide-FFXI
2 articles Networking and Leadership 101. Read up on friends list etc. also wrote a Gil Guide as well. Guide to Beastmaster is included too.
Even Pup does well soloing seals etc.
There's also an article on Emp weapon trials and how you can get these done effeciently. -
08-09-2013, 08:48 AMInafkingI only have WHM on one character. Even if there is stuff you can mail to yourself, that still only covers my elvan and taru.Quote:

All the guides in the world don't help the way people treat me. Once I get my gear I'm not doing much without other people anyway. Considering how much work I've already put in, it's not asking too much for a group to take me as i am and help me with whatever they need that isn't up to par. I honestly think it might just be time to put this one up for good if I haven't gotten where I need to be after 9 years. -
08-09-2013, 08:52 AMDaemonNetworking is important though, you can't expect people to help you unless they know you and know you've done stuff for them. Everyone in this game have a million things to do.Quote:

That's why I wrote that article.
It's like one of my friends said a long time ago, "You gotta know how to play the game"
Not as in FFXI... -
08-09-2013, 08:55 AMDemon6324236The LS I am in on Phoenix does things like Skirmish, Delve, Reives, and so on with anyone who joins. We understand that it is stupid to ask someone to have a Delve weapon to do Delve or have someone make a weapon which takes months of work only to outdate it in a week. As such, we take whoever wants to join, and so long as you show your willing to work on your job and improve at the game, we have no problem accepting you to events even if you do not have the best of weapons. However, if you are lazy or ask for help but never give it in return, you will find yourself doing most things alone, as we will not assist those who are not willing to do the same for others. We want to help those players who are stuck in this game get past the barriers that the player base imposes on one another such as RMED requirements so that they can enjoy the game, but we also want them to be worth the help, not just someone who wants everything, but never helps others or can not use that which they are obtaining, such as wanting an Emp Harp to get into events such as Tojil, when you do not even play BRD, or know how.Quote:

Hey DJ lol I was talking about you earlier, will have to do Yumcax later- gotta spin a 5 hour set in Manhattan, which I'm on my way there now :)
-
08-09-2013, 08:59 AMInafkingThe problem is that everyone I help does not have the capacity to help me or does not want to. I work my ass off for nothing. That is why it is time to quit or change.Quote:

Dual boxing is against the Terms of service isn't it? why is this thread even up...... Also the fruits of your efforts were done by circumventing the system... They are illegitamate and I wouldn't want to taste them even if you offered them. Good day sir :)

08-09-2013, 11:12 PMInafkingThank you for proving my point about Shiva.Quote:

Well as I tried to point out, if you did come to Phoenix my LS would take you so long as your willing to help others as much as you receive it and are willing to work to improve and get better.

Unless I completely glazed over it... (mmmm... glazed donuts...) If that's the case, please point me in the direction that says it's against the ToS. -
08-10-2013, 08:52 AMDaemonWell how do you tell the difference between someone running the game twice on the same computer vs someone playing 1 account on PC and another off Xbox360/Ps2?Quote:

And how could SE do it without hacking into your computer and invading your privacy? To me it sounds like too much work to play Johnny Five O. -
08-11-2013, 10:24 PMInafkingThank you. It's something for me to consider but Aldouin + moving is around $100 so I'm not sure I'm able to do both in the same month. Would you want me to have it before or after I move?Quote:

08-15-2013, 02:25 PMInafking
I asked the support center if my login points would carry over. The response I got said it was untested @_@ If I decide to move, it is going to be after Sept. 2nd with a whole bunch of Black Belt pop items.

I've thought about it for a while, and the Phoenix residents were the ones who started the problems with the "Phoenix > Titan" shouts. So unless more than 2 people are willing to tell me it's an OK place to go, i think I'll just play a different game.

On Bismarck nearly everyone is a dualboxer. You'd fit right in.
