Can we haz a merge

You see? You have it backwards and are throwing it in my face. People here were telling me I'm not experienced enough to comment on anything.

I said I've been playing 11 years. I think by now I know the game already.

There's a big difference between saying it doesn't take 11 years to figure out FFXI and saying "you don't know what your talking about because you have never done the event and even if you had, you don't any more so your opinion is of no value".

I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and just hope that instead of being that silly, that you realize that there is a huge difference and are just bringing this up in a futile attempt to win a debate that even the participants are only mildly interested at this point.

What was the purpose of those examples? To tell you that you don't need a PHD to know how ALL EVENTS WORK and that fighting is fighting.

Regardless if the conditions have been altered every event has the same concept.


Kill boss, earn reward.

It doesn't matter how long it takes to kill a boss or what reward drops. The point is, all monsters implemented offer a way to win.

And regardless whether a level 50 boss is weaker than a level 100 boss.

Back when everyone was level 50 and bosses were considered end game. Your gear was capped to a certain power just the same as we are capped now.

Same concept regardless.

I don't need higher education to know how to beat a boss or win a fight.

At this point of the game the balance is tipped on depending on more people to win than back at level 50 when bosses could be done with less people.

Big deal. That's what happens as you gain higher level. Monsters have higher HP and more higher levels require higher conditions.

A fight is a fight. Conditions of the fight might be different but it doesn't mean you need to be almighty in knowledge to overcome the obstacle.

All rollercoaster have different turns, swirls, designs. But in reality its the same thing... A ROLLERCOASTER.

Do I need special knowledge to know what a rollercoaster is if I've seen many of them in 11 years?

Broad over generalizations will not win the debate. sorry.
