It's getting really annoying to hear these jerks from BG and the wanna-be's from Alla talking out of their behinds about how FFXI is "too easy", as though they haven't been catered to enough over the past 6 years (Absolute Virtue, Pandemonium Warden ring a bell?). The most galling thing is they have a tendency to cheat their way to the top (see: Rog) and swear up and down that they're justified in doing so.
These folks don't want a challenge in FFXI. They only want the best gear to be accessible to only them and no one else so they can flaunt some kind of artificial "prestige" that they can't get in real life.
