Fed up

[Vicious]

Read back your previous post for some awkward irony :P

That word, meme, etc.

Sure, I can excuse that if you had made that clear at the time

It's pretty clear for anyone to see - see below my avatar picture, it says "Location: Norway". Unless of course, you are one of those people who have no idea what or where Norway is.

...trying to turn your own (entirely acceptable, given the reason stated above) misunderstanding around to try and make me look like a dick when i was entirely clear and concise in my point is not, therefore my sympathy for you is understandably limited.

I will still maintain that the way you worded yourself, left the statement open to being misunderstood.

But don't mind me, please by all means go ahead and think me stupid for misreading your statement, and for having a different opinion than you regarding voidwatch reward system. Must be awesome being you.

I simply know better than to assume that one's current geographic location is enough information to make those kind of assumptions about one's education, that's all.

I will still maintain that the way you worded yourself, left the statement open to being misunderstood.

Given that you already attributed your misunderstanding of it to your ESL status, the continued attempts to make it somehow my fault are amusing.

and for having a different opinion than you regarding voidwatch reward system.

You choose to ignore the 95% of Voidwatch that's nothing but improvements on the past and focus on the 5% that kind of sucks, declaring that you're 'fed up' and that the system is 'shitty and broken.' Getting yourself worked up enough to make a thread on the subject, while basing your opinion on such a narrow, cherry-picked argument is, yes, stupid.

In short, I find your opinion stupid because it barely has a shred of validity to it, not because it differs from mine; I have no problem respecting the opinions of others when they put some thought and reasoning behind it. Yours is sorely lacking in this regard, I'm sorry.

Let's talk about Voidwatch for a moment.

>Drops the current best equipment in the game.
>Who gets what is taken out of the player's hands; i.e. there's no nepotism, DKP, hoarding, etc.
>Zero competition, zero respawn times.
>Pickup friendly. (Assuming the person in charge is smart and limits melee to those with temps, etc.)
>Rewards for every single fight; guaranteed synthesis materials, a decent chance at a gil drop, and a small chance at the best equipment available.

Now, let's talk about what used to drop the best equipment, HNM.

>Dropped the best gear at the time.
>Items go to loot pool, meaning leaders had to keep detailed spreadsheets of points and deal with all the attendant drama.
>Enormous respawn times; anywhere from 1~3 RL days, HQ kings even longer.
>Batshit insane competition over every single pop, to the point where botting was the only sure way to make any kind of steady progress for your group, which is necessary to keep said group going.
>If you haven't waited in line for months/years, even when what you want drops, it's not going to you; and you get absolutely nothing from every fight until then.

I understand that Voidwatch is a step back towards how FFXI used to be compared to the smash and grab that is Abyssea, but if you think Voidwatch compares anything but favorably to the endgame of old, you're out of your mind.

Case in point; I spent a day off this week doing nothing but Kaggen via /shouts. Out of ~30 Kaggens, I saw 5 bodies and 8 belts drop. That's at least 6 months of old endgame in 1 day, with no LS, no drama, no competition, no standing around for 3 to 6 hours and waiting to maybe get to fight the NM if we manage to claim it this time. Stop your bitching already.

Normally i would cut out some of the quote but i just agree with every single word about it.

There is nothing wrong with that kind of thinking unless you are too used to your LS holding your hand through your advancement and just pointing at what u need to do all the time to get in the leaders good side and ignore the obvious favoritism that goes on in hopes of getting into the elite circle.

been through it don't care to go through it again.

I did not make this thread or any other thread about voidwatch.

I don't think I have said that I'm "fed up" - I've stated that the reward system sucks, mainly because you can work your butt off week after week after week spamming those voidwatch fights and get nothing but 5 Mantis Eyes, 6 Sceamol Bands and countless of logs and ores to show for all that hard work. Not only that, but you also risk seeing someone get more than one of the same body and it just goes to waste.

Have you seen this thread?: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...n-Fajin-boots!

Judging by the amount of likes the OP's got, I dare say I'm not the only one who's frustrated with voidwatch. But I guess everyone who agreed with the OP of that thread are stupid.

What can I say, there's a lot of stupid people out there~

If I and 50 other people don't like getting smacked in the face with a hammer but 1 or 2 of you do, it doesn't mean that the 50 people and I are the stupid ones.

But basically, you have done what many other people do on here, come in, go against what most of the people are saying, and when people disagree with you, resort to calling everyone else stupid and talking down to them. Usually what people with no substance to their argument tend to do.

Proof positive that you're not reading a thing i post. Go bother someone else.

100% agree with Vicious and Rohelius. Bitching about not getting anything from a certain event week after week? Try year after year, unless your ls blew up from all the bs drama before your turn came. I'd much rather spend an evening with the very real possibility of getting some awesome gear and being disappointed than spend months grinding for someone else with no chance of getting anything.

The thing is everyone's been spoiled by Abyssea. Being able to snag some of the best gear in an evening (or the best weapon in a fortnight) still seems odd to me. I love it mind you, but i'm fully aware that not everything is going to be handed to me on a silver platter right $%%^ing now. Perhaps i'm a bit of a masochist, but it doesn't seem nowhere near as painful as it used to be. Stiff upper lip.....

Just so I'm clear, you're perfectly fine with VW as it is because in your opinion it's better than loot distribution 5 years ago?
