[dev1000] Dyna Reborn!(This is a joke...right?....Right?)

[Alhanelem]

sometimes as you put it"assuming the worst of EVERYTHING" is the best way to go through life

It's never the best thing in life. It's a surefire way to
1) not make friends
2) distance yourself from the rest of the world
3) inhibit social development
4) get anywhere in the world

Sure, if you become TOO trusting, you're liable to get burned, but if you never loosen up at all, you're going to miss out on tons of perfectly legitimate opportunities. I've had my trust violated a few times, and it sucks... but I've also greatly benefited from many cases where I had to trust something or take a leap of faith. You have more to lose by being totally skeptical about everything than you have to lose by being optimistic.

"A lot" of people might agree with you, but "a lot" of people have been complaining about dynamis's design for years now. Some people have said "Just instance it" but I can tell you because of the way the game works, it's not possible, even in the same way that it works for assault or WotG battlefield zones due to the design of the areas. They would have had to have been designed that way from the beginning for it to work. It's not to say I didn't like anything about dynamis- good teamwork is a requirement, but assuming you have people that work well together, it really just isn't a challenge anymore. Making it an open area isn't taking away anything that isn't already gone, and making the event more casual means people might actually do it again.

I think this is mostly a case of simply being resistant to change, but MMOs change over time. it's just a fact of the genre.

You haven't answered my question.

So, let me get this straight.

1) You think you're a hardcore elite player.
2) You think Dynamis is hard, at least somewhat.
3) You don't do Abyssea, despite its gear being superior to almost everything else.
4) You still think Dynamis is hard.
5) You still think that you're a hardcore elite player.

Dude, you're crazy if you think you're elite. Seriously, man.

elite by your near sighted ideals? no...prefers a challenge yes. i have done more in FFXI before abyssea was released than you have done in your little abyssea areas since it's release! you can claim till your blue in the face"I'm the best! i am pro!" but frankly...if you base that off of completing one or two missions in normal areas and doing the rest of it in abyssea...then to quote you

i have beat nearly every storyline in FFXI at least twice,deleted character, made another, and beat them again. and this was BEFORE the level cap on all COP areas was lifted mind you. if there was a way to "beat FFXI" before abyssea's release..i had done it. so think twice before you try to mock someone noob.

Really, you're wanting to get into an epeen waving contest? I guarantee that you'd lose. I've certainly done way more in this game than you.

How about this, do you know what fSTR is? What about pDIF? What are V and M values, and what type of damage do they even relate to?

What does PDT cap at?

What about MDT?

What's the Haste cap for gear? What's the overall delay reduction cap?

No, sorry, you're not elite, you're just a crybaby of a man who thinks their owed something because they've played the game for a while and beaten storyline battles (protip; they're not hard) and thinks Dynamis is super awesome.

And about "beating" FFXI, I hear that in other games you can beat them without actually doing the hard stuff. Ya know like Emerald/Ruby weapon in VII, Ozma in IX, Via Purifico in X (or X-2, I don't remember), Shinryu and Omega in V. Beating a game doesn't make you good, or elite, espeically in this case, since almost everything else that is, or has ever been, considered endgame is much harder.

You need to stop bitching about everything that comes around.

i try to keep my mouth shut...i try to behave like a normal player who is limited...but when people crop up and try to call ME a noob in one way or the other i pull out the stops.

So you are calling the rest of the game easy while having absolutely no personal experience in new zones. Okay.

I bet 50 gil you'd get steamrolled by Azdaja, Alfard, Isgebind, Apademak, or Dragua. As is the case with 90%+ of the morons claiming that everything in easy. I'm not saying these NMs are super hard, I've done them plenty without issue. But I'm also a lot better at FFXI than you.

since i never fought them before...probally.
