When I finally got 75 and a shell people avoided me like the plague when I asked for help for CoP. It wasn't like I just logged on and asked for help. I did several weeks of events with them before I asked. I only finished CoP because I shouted for who needed it. It took me 7days of shouting at different times of the day. On the last day it took me 4hours to get 6people because the majority of people already finished CoP. I came to somehow become a sack in a Sky LS whose members said I sucked the leader's dick for w.legs when I lotted nothing of any value the entire year I was in the LS. I became a sack to an HNM LS whose members called me a slut and I sucked the leaders dick for my relic. It wasn't the events I led. Nor was it my work I put in to leading. No. I was avoided because of it.

I have never felt any form of comradery the 8years I played. It was mostly filled with dealing with a lot of assholes, greedy and selfish people. I can call perhaps two people friends after these 8years. Where is the growing together part? Where is the forging you're talking about?

This isn't a rant. I'm showing you that not everyone's journey in FFXI was so rosy and perfect.



I also remember people crying about the game always requiring groups to accomplish anything. That they wished they could just go out whenever they could to solo what they needed. They got what they wanted.

People are never happy I swear.
Wow...you must really like this game after sticking with it while putting up wit that mess. I love this game more for the friendships I've forged then acquiring stuff..if i had similar experiences as urself i prolly wouldve quit.
