Give us CP!

[RAIST]

Yeah... I still leveled everything to 76 the old way so I could keep my skills somewhat up to date (barring level-synch parties....spent a lot of time in Sky during the last few levels). But once I hit 76--it was aby-time to 90. So, yeah...it's really easy to justify when you were in game for a while pre FoV/Aby/GoV and such. ~850k xp the old way was more than enough to justify taking the fast track for the next ~750k.

What amuses me is the new players running around in low level gears that get into a leech spot and leap-frog large blocks of levels in one shot. Then they flood the LS with questions about all their job abilites and whatnot, need gil, CP/AN/IS, need gears they can't find on the AH. It can get kinda old after awhile.....

IF SE is going to keep tweaking the fast-track approach...they are going to need to do something to make all the other stuff (gear, CP/AN/IS, etc) more readily available for these players that aren't taking the slower route that makes these things more available as you are leveling/crafting and completing Rank Missions/quests/story lines and such.

there is more to ADD then getting distracted. And yes spelling can be an issue, just ADD doesn't effect everyone the same. It can effect spelling by what I did, which was a word merge ( I typed mmorpg and rpg at the same time. since i was thinking of typing it and it got jumbled.) Also was a case of faulted hand eye coordination. Which I press the wrong key w/o realizing it.

Yes... I know. I've been diagnosed with it too. I keep a notepad next to my computer with reminders of gear to double check before I head out to events, and I do occasionally merge words and omit entire words due to thinking past where I'm typing. As I said: Proofread your posts. ADD should not be used as an excuse to be ok with sloppy work. Work hard and get past its problems, take your medication, and don't use ADD as a crutch.

Back to the topic at hand, I also level semi-traditionally, soloing GoV for the most part. Really though, my pet peeve is the huge imbalance in difficulty in getting those. I can spend an hour soloing and walk away with 2k CP (And that's assuming a rather generous assumption that I'm getting 15k xp/hr on kills alone, WITH the proper moghancement). I can spend an hour in campaign and walk away with 15k AN. Or do beseiged and get 4000 IS.

I never once said you can't get the CP for stuff if you spend months levelling the old fashioned way. The problem is the CP to buy an aketon? I can get that in a DAY for allied notes. I have relatively little trouble getting IS too.

Yeah, I really wish they would do something about this. Trying to get all the titles and this would just take way too long.

ADD should not be used as an excuse to be ok with sloppy work. Work hard and get past its problems, take your medication, and don't use ADD as a crutch.

As yet another FFXI player with ADD, I completely agree with Urthdigger. I try as hard as I can to prevent myself from making sloppy posts, and I often go back to re-read my posts.

That aside, I also have to agree with Urth on his opinion that getting CP is very unbalanced compared to other forms of leveling. I'm not sure what the math for gaining AN in campaign battles is, but with the lowest medal I usually get around 1/2 of the exp I gain. If I got even HALF as much CP (so 25% without bonuses) , it would definitely encourage me to solo, duo, and trio more often.

Gotta love how a thread about something has turned into yet another "All about Rosina" Thread. Why hasn't she been banned yet? She adds nothing to any topic and only derails it when she does post something.

OP>"How can I get more CP"
Rosina> "I have ADD and don't have to type properly on an internet forum that isn't in any way texting or instant chat"
Everyone>"What does that have to do with CP?"
Rosina>"I have ADD, STOP INSULTING ME"

Anyone who hasn't read the thread and only the last post, I have now caught you up on the last 5 pages.

I like the idea of earning a chunk of CP everytime you complete a FoV or GoV. CP isn't very useful anymore but some people may find a use. Making it easier to get wont break anything either.

Some people benefit.
No one is negatively affected.

Why would you be against it?

I'd much rather more IS. I'm on 150000+ already wheras I only have around 1300 IS.

I shot my 6th final-full of bloodsweat/orphen Tears Patriarch's arrow back in the 75 cap days, right before they made it into a Quiver and Abyssea and the cap went up. I used my Free "Token" retrieval from the GM on the second one. I haven't been to normal EXP areas since. My CP is 6k...

I know there's probably a better arrow now(RNG is temp Shelved ATM), but I like to collect things and I want an Aketon on me and all my mules. Going price on those babies is like 300k on my server for a Run to Dbox NPC run back to Mog house body armor. Time is money

You got my vote, they should bump up the CP gained by a lot and I'd really like to get my Manniquin someday too so yeah, Garrison too. Also, whose done Eco-Warrior? That craps been in my quest pool for 6 years and not a soul wants to do it with me.

Old content needs new paint, also, needs its lead paint(Level Restrictions) stripped too.

Hell, I'd be happy with being able to trade 2 AN for 1 CP. I got so much AN, My Moogle Slip 03 is near full in the Campaign Section.

I'd much rather more IS. I'm on 150000+ already wheras I only have around 1300 IS.

So go do a besieged, it gives about 5000 each time. Hell, I got 1500ish from being AFK in al zhabi, getting KO'd sometime after it started and being dead for the whole thing (auto-HPd from 60min timer afterwards). You could prolly set your HP to al zahbi and just leave the game running for a few days and rack up points with no effort at all.
