Non-Wiki Players

Modern MMO: All right, <Player>. We have a dire situation here. Go talk to Maudlin Irontoes in the Dwarven District of Stormwind to find out what we can do about the price of ale in Elwynn Forest. He'll be standing there with a giant yellow question mark over his head. You can't miss him, and if you somehow manage to, check your map and you'll see his position marked for you with a similar mark. You know what, just for the hell of it, keep the quest highlighted and a magic arrow will point you in the right direction.

FFXI: <Player>, Promathia is going to destroy the world and all your friends have scattered to parts unknown! Well, good luck with that! But hey, look at this awesome cutscene!

LMAO. So true.

I bet some guy went "If we don't give them direction, they will talk to all the NPcs and learn about all the other amazing quests and missions we have made for them! "

Then some other guy said "brilliant! That could never go wrong! Let's go eat some paint and celebrate!"

Day 900: "Oh my gosh guys! I keep forgetting how all this crap works! Someone should make a spreadsheet or a website or something to keep track of all this crap! This game is FREAKING HUGE!"

That reminds me of when I first started playing and didn't know how to /heal, so whenever my hp got low I ran back to my mog house - did this for almost 2 weeks before someone found it in their heart to enlighten me lol.


....not to mention trying to target stuff with the mouse cursor of all things.... lmao

Shit, I remember going out on my war and punching rabbits till I died because I had no idea how to equip a sword much less /heal.

I also used to use sword/shield and make fun of Paladins for trying to tank off me. Those were the days...

yes I always liked it when people went WAR/WHM aka the "Ghetto" PLD

This is just sad lol.

/grins Oh it was such a big big world... north gustaburg, (game started in port for my poor bastokian taru) I managed to get so lost. deathga from birds, murdered by quadav, ran in circles thinking it helped dodge, it took forever to get to level 10. (finally managed to get to bastok markets @ day 2.) vomp hil, droping beastmen seals becuase they took up too much space.
(see this this was for you)

waiting forever to learn a spell, wondering where I could buy a "pheonix down". O the days of being new. /em shudders

It was a "wonder" how anyone could know so much about so much and what have you, I still don't know enough to willingly help someone without looking at the wiki/ bg etc. prior to making sure the mission is flagged by the person wanting to do it .. /facepalm lol yeah wiki is gooooood.

I got to page 6 and gave up... basically threads like this is why the dev's can never answer serious posts, they have to read through this CRAP.

Somepage rocked, it had the best search engine of all time. I mean, you could search for food effects, a utility unequaled to this day. How sweet was that?

Alla's advanced search (premium member feature, initially, not sure if it still is) is nearly identical to somepage's at this point, though it's not perfect, since it separates shit like "enhances double attack effect" and "double attack", but it does include food/meds in searches for stats that don't specify a slot, or specify the "inventory" slot. Just sayin'

I guess you can be FFXIs Amish community.

This is a beautiful analogy that caused me to laugh for about 5 minutes.

As much as I think the idea of this thread is silly...

I think alot of players by nature can tell some things, like what wouldn't tank, what would be good to heal, the fact that lv50 is the original limit not 60, that there is better gear than seers in NPC shops... but either way, just sayin. :x

It's funny because bards actually used to tank Faf/hogg way back in the day, before SE nerfed mazurka's enmity generation. Marzurka spam gave some serious enmity build up, and brd does have access to a good bit of melee gear, and by extent, gear to add survivability (in those days, we're talking osode/genboob's kabuto/etc)

I'll never understand why in the world people don't change the default posts/page from 10. 10 posts/page is just stupid, and only causes unnecessary pagecount inflation. 40 posts/page is so much cleaner.
