Is it just me..?

I'd give some of these people the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes things happen where you ready a weapon skill and someone else gets a weapon skill away under yours and you end up with a ruby kill. However, you wouldn't be wrong in calling out the egomaniacs who recklessly rack up ruby lights with no consideration for time when there are not enough targets for Black Mages to offset them with azure lights, which can be done in La Theine, Attohwa, and Ulegurand.

In any case, it would help if people stop treating Abyssea parties as if some kinds of online trophies are being given out a la Halo or some other copycat game played by ADHD teens with no real accomplishments to speak of. You're not the only heroes in this world.

If you're complaining about ruby at all in an EXP group, you're doing it wrong.

If a BLM cant walk around and hit some Emphemerals while the group is killing mobs as fast possible, you're doing it wrong.

If a BLU is in party and can't cap Azure by sniping some weak mobs that con DC away from the party, you're doing it wrong.

If you're actually concerned about timing out in Abyssea in an EXP alliance, you're doing it wrong or half the alliance is AFK which wouldn't be surprising.

Hey BLM, we have some new people, go cap azure for them. I don't care that you're already getting capped exp, it's a BLM's job in an exp party to screw over their own exp.

ITT: sniping kill-shots with elemental magic is hard.

The entire thread is about 1-shotting mobs with Empys. Hard to snipe killshots when mobs are killed in one hit.

[cidbahamut]

One-shotted, really? Every single time? No TP phase, just WS WS WS WS WS all night long? Ok, then pull a mob off to the side and nuke it down. Building Azure light is not difficult.

It's like we're on page 1 all over again.

Cause you aren't getting EXP from treasure chests.
Cause recapping EXP after you cap gold/silver is SO hard.
Cause BLM killing a couple Ephemerals for the good of speeding up one's own EXP is somehow bad.

Yes, im sorry if you come on BLM (or anything that can azure for that matter) that you'll have to do more than AFK to get good EXP.

If you recap Azure fast (a trivial matter in Scars/Heroes), you can quickly get to capping ruby (and amber) which leads to greater EXP, more loot and an overall more pleasurable experience.

It's like no one knows the first rule of Aby Club... New people don't get kill shots.

Dallas has posted something that I approve of. I thought you would all like to know this.
