Up the lvl to enter abyssea to 70 PLEASE

[Rosina]

If someone asks me for advice and I can answer them I will. If I can't answer them I'll refer them to someone else. In any case, I'll still provide them with a link to the wiki.

Why shouldn't I provide someone with such a valuable tool?



And people shouldn't learn from the experience of others.... Because?

A couple of things i guess you are not getting, Pretty much asking question is a good ice breaker when your in a LS or meeting people. And also not everyone is on a PC/ has access to a PC. So getting "look up wiki" as the ONLY responce can be seen as rude, or anti social, or even lazy.

If all you do is read wiki and follow it to a T, you may not learn your own tricks on how to do things that maybe no one has tried. I mean all you are doing is mimicing what you read. Only item I ever use wiki is if i'm stuck on a quest that no one has done.

This community has been slowly becoming not as social then in the past. That what I was trying to get at.

I'm kinda doing that on purpose because certain people have been making the same generalizations about others as well. I'm not trying to say it in a rude way, it is more of a personal comment on how much the ffxi community change in how they address people. It does make me wonder how long some of you have been here. Considering a few (about 5) posters infact act so snarky and do NOTHING but post rude comments to anyone who disagrees with them. AkA calling THEM trolls, white knights, telling ppl they suck w/o actually seeing them, making up things about them like being on a crusade of some kind. When in reality people are just posting their 2 cents on the game, about what they see in the game, and only seek to improve the experience for new/returning players.

A few posters don't even post about the topic, they just take comments out of context and make it appear they are being rude. Then people jump on the bandwagon and twist what other posters are saying, which does nothing but start unneeded drama

Here you go again...

Your experience as far as I can tell, is limited to leveling jobs to 70 (or whatever) and then starting another character because you get bored or you have some crippling form of ADD or whatever your excuse of the day is.

For me (notice I am introducing this statement as a personal experience, not as a sweeping generalization about every other player in the game) the game is very social because I work with various linkshells on endgame activities such as voidwatch, neo-limbus, einherjar, etc. Or I work with friends on things like Dynamis, Assaults, Abyssea farming, etc.

The game in my experience is just as social today as it was when I first started playing in 2003.

In my opinion, based on my experienceThe social aspect in this game has shifted over the years from being "exp-party centric" to becoming "endgame-activity centric" because leveling via experience points parties has become less a part of the game due to alternate means of leveling.

@ lynch
highest job before i quit for 6mnths was dnc lvl 95 thf sub. I di just give my personal opinion. But i can only assume as you guys assumed... you guys just skimed my post and twisted 90% of what I said. I only give what I personally see. I do not care of ppl speed level, not against it. I do it on occassion, but I don't leech or try not to leech.

I've personally been playing rpg since I was 6 years old. I'm 27.5 now.

If my posts seem rude, it unintentional. I am just extremely frustrated on how rude i've been treated JUST for playing the game the way I enjoy. I can't even make a post with out someone making a snide or snarky remark on my play style. Which had nothing to do with what I said.

My thing on what deems a bad players is laziness... aka leeching etc.

I also say or me or in my personal experience. You may want to reread some of my posts as I do say this.

I think the only reason people make comments about your playstyle is because your trying to call people out for being bad for theres. You call us lazy for leeching jobs and yet your too lazy to even attempt to gear your characters.

If your going to try and bark and call out people like an elitist, you better be able to back it up and show us that your way has made you better than the rest of us. When it's made you worse, I'm not the "complete optimal, number cruncher" player, but I at least have TP and WS sets, evasion or PDT for some jobs. As well as try to gear my jobs and upgrade it to a spot where I'm comfortable.

If your going to dish it out, be ready to take it. You call out others on their playstyle so they call out your's.

I'm sure I'm not alone here in saying that every thread you post in you manage to derail and turn into a thread about how people are bad and anyone who does not share your opinion are just trolls.

do ppl not know how to play an rpg anymore >.>

Many times, I have pretended to be a lonely Deep Gnome with a fear of falling upward into the sky and a raging foot fetish while playing Final Fantasy XI.

I have yet to be awarded role-playing experience for my efforts by the sadistic weirdos who are running this game.

[Zerich]

Can't Rosa just RP as someone who isn't retarded for one post?

She does claim to be an RP veteran, after all.

I'm sure I'm not alone here in saying that every thread you post in you manage to derail and turn into a thread about how people are bad and anyone who does not share your opinion are just trolls.

or how everyone is apparently out to get her for some reason.

And about her calling people trolls....

Maybe your GM was too busy banning a fishing bot that day?
