So i leeched my job to 90 in abyssea

[tarolin]

i laughed at most people suck at ff11 , you must not have much friends kid. And on that point im not going to bother with your not so valid comments. This is a game , people play to have fun and thats wat im going to do and many others regardless of skill level.

People playing to have fun don't bother me one bit. I'm not bitter, and I have plenty of fun with friends who I've known for a very long time now. But that doesn't mean the average person is good at the game, or plays their jobs well. "Well enough" for people with low standards? Sure. Some people value results more than the actual implementation, and that doesn't bother me. Getting a passing grade may be good enough for most people, but that doesn't make it an A.

Being friends with someone has nothing to do with their skill at FFXI. Friends are allowed to suck at video games. They don't suck less because they're friends. But by the same token they're no less of a friend because they suck. Why is it I always see people draw this connection when they're trying to talk down to "higher tier" players "who must have no lives/friends/social skills"? It's really rather sad.

Only thing sad is that people think there a higher tier and deserve more , im done with this convo. so go hang out with the so called higher tier.

There's a reason it was in quotes... Oh well. This thread is awesome.

anyone who thinks string instrument is unimportant needs to learn about aoe range with nursemaid's harp and lullaby @,@ that's all i'm saying

I'd read most of this thread and figured I'd throw in my 2 cents. I leveled WHM from 62 to 90 in Abyessa mainly because I was sick of the job in normal PT's OUTSIDE of Abyessa which I was forced to deal with gimps who had no idea that level 14 DEX Rings were not going to cut it in Colibri parties.

Now you could say I leeched it to 90 and I wouldn't give a shit because the way I play my WHM I've been told time and again that I play it a lot better then some people who have had it at 75 for years and beyond. It's an easy job that requires you to pay attention so the transition from RDM to WHM for me was just having Cure V and Cure VI which other then that made it easier to do.

Of course one thing which blew my mind a lot was how many WHMs I saw did NOT even have an Enfeebling Build for Slow, Paralyze or Silence. It only took me 3 minutes at most to write out a "decent" build and it makes my job a hell of a lot easier when shit can be slow'd and para'd when an RDM isn't around.

Generally like Greatguardian said, Abyessa in or out makes no damn difference in player skill. If they sucked before Abyessa then chances are they fucking sucked inside Abyessa.

quoted for truth.
but it actually boils down to what greatguardian said in ANOTHER thread here

when he talks about crappy players getting better when around playing with good players.
the environment makes a lot of a difference.

There's a problem with that tho. Even in a better enviroment, some players outright refuse to learn or realize that sometimes the shit they do is retarded and gimped.

There's a reason BG has a thread about gimps that's lasted around 25 remakes with 50+ pages each.

EDIT: Is this you?

if so, you should stop right now.

Well since you are the one who doesn't know that 0.8 to 1.0 is a 25% increase, maybe it is YOU who should stop right now. You have nothing on my character, do you? If so, please elaborate. My character has been ranked mostly in the teens ranked on FFXIAH for years before Abyssea, which isn't amazing, but certainly keeps me from being gimp. Maybe you would be so kind as to show us your character, if you are not too ashamed?
