Ok, this has been an aggravating topic for me for years. I don't know how many of you out there have been in this boat, sunk it and wanted to cry but... (lol)

I digress...

I had gotten into another discussion with a buddy of mine and we were seriously laughing about all the times we got hosed when we were paralyzed and what kinds of things we'd lost throughout our years of playing FFXI. Well tonight I heard that a friend of mine lost a Primeval Brew tonight because he was paralyzed although I'm not sure if he realized it before attempting the use of it or not.

Regardless, there has been many a time where I have lost items/timers and whatnot due to paralyze. Personally I'm ok with getting paralyzed and losing a recast time or whatever but any consumable item for starters that is used while under paralysis seriously SHOULD NOT be lost due to paralyze. I feel that this item should just simply be reset back to your inventory for another try and for it to just state that you were paralyzed on the screen in the chat bar like it normally does. I mean, there have been times where I've used a Signal Pearl or Tactics Pearl and reset the timer on the stupid thing without even getting a use out of it. Or losing a food item, stack of Shihe, remedy (which aren't exactly the easiest things to come by, yet are one of the few things that rid you of paralysis <ironically>), or the example of the Primeval Brew which isn't exactly the "easiest" thing to just waltz on out and snag another. This I personally feel for YEARS should have been addressed and would very much appreciate someone implementing a change that could eliminate this issue altogether.

SE:
If you don't think that it's an appropriate action to take or you just don't want to do it, can you at least give us a good enough reason why you won't change this problem?

Imput/change would be very much appreciated.

For all you other people that might read this post, did you see anything I missed or think I'm a bit off base on my opinion of this matter? lol please feel free to let me know. If you got sad stories of what you lost, I can tell you I feel for you. Heck, throw them on here too so that SE can see how much of an annoyance it can be to lose your "Preciousssssses" LOL!
