Rant About Current End Game - ADL and Voidwatch = Old FFXI, No Thanks

[Nala]

up firmly where a proctologist's specialty lies.

[Fupafighter]

There is a line between difficulty. And definately it's out of wack in ffxi. Abyssea = bit too easy, then they introduce voidwatch and it's way stupid hard and demanding. Needs to be an in between and it will be just right. Along with decent drop rates (1% shit = needs to go). ADL is the same thing. Too difficult to be called (quote by SE), "majority of people can do this content"....sorry SE...no. Dunno where their head is.

Abyssea is only easy if you have skill and proper jobs...

300M+ bank a month from SW/DI/Tia says you have no idea what you're talking about, sound mad like you couldn't claim.

system is/was total utter shit and you know it. SE just can't find any type on medium.

I like how gimp han brags about buying his BB items. Why do you even play this game? Why not just log in once every update and buy everything on day 1...
Do you expect us to think you are cool now?

[MarkovChain]

Because I couldn't count on you to supply me with marrows obviously. I can count on you to supply me with cinder & and metal plates though <3. The game is going back to being balanced.

I see. Do you agree with this:

- a monk that buys his BB items is gimp ( @ 4Mil each it took ~ 3 weeks to farm the money. In 2 weeks of camping I only claimed three NQ turtle and it didn't drop). Its much better to spend years enslaved in a LS to get one's item, or enslave 17 other people to do a ks99 with utter crap rewards besides BB items.

- a fisherman who buys his 10,000 moat carps is gimp. Yea, fishing 10,000 carps on your own totally teaches you how to be a good fisherman.

- real fisher men fish all their ryuugu titan and lik for their Ebisu. Also they do the brigant chart, get their dwarf pugils and drill calamaries there, and enjoy losing the baits to monsters while trying to catch liks. Real fishermen do not catch those with meat balls and minnow, its too easy. Btw, @ 10k each, ryugu and lik are not worth farming yet people sell for that price. 5/hours back in the day with Lu Shang and WW mules repairing every 3 bite, sucks. but it was 30k/fish at the time so good money.


- a crafter who buys his mats on the AH is a gimp crafter. Farming all your mats all the way to level 100 is how real men do crating.

By extension:

- If you burned at least one job to 99 in abyssea you are a gimp. Real player get their level 99 in real parties. Oh wait! Nobody has been doing high levels parties since levelcynch was introduced, and that was long before abyssea. I burned at least two jobs in colibris synch PTs, and I rarely exped lol.

- If you used atmas, cruor buffs or primeval brew in abyssea you are gimp. Real players fight those mobs like real mens.

- I never buy food off the AH. I farm the mats and spend 3 hours crafting my red curry buns and my shiheis.

- I never use a chocobo, or outpost teleports. Walking there is what real players do.

ITT: learn to play the game, economics, and how to take advantage of other players with the means the game gives.

What this game needs is harder content that involves strategy (Temp items and zombie), no proc systems ffs, and for treasure toi drop off the f*cking mobs again.

Allowing players to distribute the loot lets groups organize their events far more effectively.

Removing proc systems helps small groups and stops you from being forced to drag along useless jobs.

Limbus/Sea were perfect examples of strategy and loot distribution. A smaller group with a good strategy always did better than a larger group using numbers and zombie tactics.

Buying a BB Item is acceptable to me, Because you're still working for it in some way (Making the Gil). But trying to make it sound like people who do it legitimately are slave drivers and takes "years" is not helping your case. I got all of my Black Belt items from KSNM/HNM, and I slaved no one. My friends helped me get it, they were after things as well, it was mutually beneficial.

it took me all of about 1 month to get my Black Belt items, probably about 10 Man hours of work, the only reason it took so long is because I got lazy when it came to my Adamantoise Egg and stopped doing KSNMs for a while.

Though, People who get BB Items through ways other than their Gil are not Slave Drivers working people for years, There probably are SOME Examples of this happening, but if you're going to use the Worst case scenario for "Not Buying" it, You should probably use the Worst Case Scenario for buying it. "Joe used Mommies Credit Card to buy Gil to get his Black belt Items, which were suppose to go to an LS Member, But Buyers come first".

Just saying, Make it a fair comparison or don't make one at all, Your argument holds water on its own, no need to demonize people who didn't buy their items.

A real fishercat would know ryuugu titans are not involved in the ebisu quest.

Also they do the brigant chart, get their dwarf pugils and drill calamaries there,

I wasn't aware this was more effective than fishing sea zombies/cave cherax's or just using meat balls/minnows.

and enjoy losing the baits to monsters while trying to catch liks.

only liks steal your bait!

Real fishermen do not catch those with meat balls and minnow,

Yes they do.....

its too easy. Btw, @ 10k each, ryugu and lik are not worth farming yet people sell for that price. 5/hours back in the day with Lu Shang and WW mules repairing every 3 bite, sucks. but it was 30k/fish at the time so good money.

Get an ebisu, but seriously, hand in gugrusauruses, not titans.

- If you used atmas, cruor buffs or primeval brew in abyssea you are gimp. Real players fight those mobs like real mens.

Your boy pchan said this, are you disagreeing with him!?!

- I never buy food off the AH. I farm the mats and spend 3 hours crafting my red curry buns and my shiheis.

That's a smart move, you save tons of gil if you use lots of this stuff and can make it yourself.

ITT: learn to play the game

I couldn't agree more, you totally should.

[MarkovChain]

I could be wrong but I think mdk has ebisu, level 100 goldsmithing, lvl 100 fishing, level 99 verethragna, lvl 99 daurdabla, level99 gjallharhorn, level 99 spharai. Your are miles aways from this so listen carefully to other advices lol.
