FFXI fixed!

[Arcon]

If you want something you're proud of attaining then perhaps you should look into something of greater reward then pixels on a game. If you want a real reward invent something or do something that impacts the world for the greater good.

Perhaps if you want fun and entertainment you should consider getting laid instead of wasting away on these forums? That's basically what you just said to me. And if you think that's a valid argument you need to go back to your preschool class.

With this comment you've disqualified everything you've ever said on these forums, because merely by being here you've acknowledged you're wasting time that could be used to otherwise benefit society, hence you're stopping humanity's progress by posting this. What a douche!

There's several kinds of games. Those that offer quick and easy entertainment ("Mario Party"), those that require effort and dedication but offer a unique gaming experience ("Final Fantasy") and those that ask a person to improve constantly and reward a player's skill ("Ninja Gaiden"). I named a few games that are archetypical for the respective categories. Note that I meant the Final Fantasy series, not this part in particular. FFXI was special in that it spanned across some of those categories. In ye olden days FFXI was almost exclusively effort/dedication focused, with a little skill involved and almost no quick and easy entertainment. After Abyssea came out it made a drastic change away from its usual pattern and laid out almost exclusively in Mario Party sector. And the skill part it used to require for certain events (like JoL, Odin, Kirin, etc.) is what some people, including me, miss. That's why we suggest the things we do. Right now I'm not rewarded for playing FFXI. I mainly play it because of the LS people and because I like helping them out. I don't look forward to the actual "playing" anymore, except for Legion and Einherjar.

You telling everyone to focus on one kind of gameplay only and that we should be happy with it, and if we aren't we magically fail at real life suggests that you have the argumentative capacity of a three year old who cries if things don't go his way.

Requesting special gear in a game to inflate ones ego doesn't boarder well on the game or in real life. If one desires special treatment perhaps it's not the social norm that has a problem. After all, You should care more about the community balance if you want to feel good about yourself.

I only assume this was directed at me because you quoted me, because otherwise it makes absolutely no sense. I just told you that's precisely not what I care about. I don't care at all how others perceive me. I idle in a red subligar. And not an elite subligar either. I want this game to test my skills, nothing more. And nothing in the game currently does that.

For the record dedication is just as good a recognition as doing something more efficient.

How come? That makes absolutely zero sense. I've rarely met anyone so shallow.
