Can we have a different requirement to be able to have those stars above ppl's head in there? 2100 JP is not enough. Met so many masters today that do not know how play their job xD. (Master PLD Pulling all omen mobs as soon as we zone in wiping the pt, Master BLM that doesn't know how to MB on a Omen Boss, Master SMN who melee's in Ambuscade)
Maybe instead of 2100JP instead it should be 4200 Hours online on that job (about 6 RL months).
That or let us have a quest where we trade JP's and once we traded 21000(yes 21000) JP's then we can have stars on our heads. Maybe add a glamour armor/weapon too.
Master Designation should have a different requirement

08-16-2017, 12:45 PMAfaniaPulling all omen mobs as soon as pt zone in is probably more of a communication/pt organization issue, less about actual playing skill of the job.Quote:

Many leaders (I would say at least 80% of them) doesn't know how to properly communicate nor organize party, they expect everyone know what to do without ever bother to explain the detail, but it has absolutely nothing to do with actual playing skill nor knowledge of the job. -

All that Job Master indicates is that the job has a 45min SP timer and establishes a certain baseline for spell/JA/etc potency/duration/etc. It has no implication that the player knows anything about, well, anything.

In fact I could get ten more jobs completely maxed out with that. That's half of the entire job list.Quote:

Today on a Kei Omen Pug run, everyone has master designation, Leader explained it 3 times what everyone has to do, PLD and GEO both masters said "We going in or what?!". When we finally did Kei, PLD died to Deathly Fullers 3 times, no holy water, didn't even try to run away. Geo just stood there afk not spamming blizz or water to remove regen. His excuse? He was silenced and he has no echo drops. How is he silenced when he's standing next to us and were not silenced. Seriously.. Masters. More like Master noobs. Geo Galka even turned off his buff and stood next to Kei to get hit in a pitiful attempt to make the run fail. Kei died and he ninja lotted all the loot lol.

Job Master stars are just a visual indication for others that they don't have to worry that you are derpy and put all your job points into the less useful categories and/or are not lying about how many you have. The lowered SP recast is mostly pointless given how an strategy that calls for their use also calls for a reset.

As for seeing other people with stars, I don't see it as a indication that they are great at their job . -
08-18-2017, 09:54 AMNyarlkoI didn't say that it has anything to do with "being great", only that others are assured a baseline on capability/potency. You can be BIS for everything your job is capable of and job master and still be utterly clueless and/or afk in the middle of a boss fight after all. XDQuote:

There isn't anything prestigious about being a master.
It's all about gearing and skill...
Maybe they should make training camps where you gain special achievements.

Also, OP.
8 new threads on first page.
Play the game or don't, making a thread for everything you don't like is sounding like rants. -
08-22-2017, 04:28 PMAfaniaOnce again, it's communication issue and I think you overly exaggerate players in your pt being "bad".Quote:

That being said, Kei is not dangerous by any means, if tank dies there's really no big deal. Just raise tank and have him tank weakened.
Silena him then.......Quote:

And yet I have no issues clearing every hardest contents that I want to clear in past 8 years of playing FFXI anyways.Quote:

So they developed strong familiarity and trust in the group to kill the hardest stuff. On the other hand avg PUG complain and complain about every little thing, which destroys morale and lowers entire pt performance.
There's nothing you can accomplish by complaining about your pt member and cling on every single small mistakes. If the pt has issues, try to fix them first, then just move on and forget about the mistakes.
From my experience and observations, outside of knowledge, skill and gears, players with "I'll try my best to fix the issue" attitude is really what put them one tier above players with "we fail because everyone is bad in this pt" attitude.
