I see THFs still mainhanding THFs knife (or TP in it for that matter) and using full Dragon Harness set/O hat.

Aurore is lazy troll gear.

I've seen several post already where someone has posted something (a suggestion) and a more Skilled player has decided it was a good idea to bash the player for his/her inabilities.

This forum was started for general game discussions/suggestions. Not meant to demean a player for his/her thoughts. You either agree with them or you don't. No need to make yourself feel big because you can do something another player can't by telling them how pathetic they are.

I really don't think SE started this site to read about how good you are and see how much you rub it in to those who can't. I'm pretty sure they started this site so people can give they're suggestions to things they think need to be changed. Idea to improve game play. Pass on your knowledge and skill to inexperienced players. Not constantly bash them.

So please. Keep it polite. Try to stay on topic. If you agree, but want to add something to the idea to make it better, do so. If you disagree with it, disagree and explain why the CHANGE wouldn't increase game play, but keep it civil to other players and stop bashing them b/c they are having difficulties with something.

lol
Good luck Amerylyn if your goal is to create civility on an internet forum. You have your work cut out for you. They don't even do that in congress, really doubt it's gong to be done here.

uggh..more Haste debates.

Here's something to chew on. At @200 delay, you only need about 5.5% haste to gain one extra swing per minute--so stacking in increments around 6% on a job like THF or DNC provides a substantial benefit. Not only is that increasing your DoT while TP'ing, it gets you to 100TP faster, which again increases your DoT b/c you can WS more often. As long as you can keep your ACC high enough and swap to maximize your abilities/WS consistency, Haste is a BIG boost to your DoT. There is no denying the math, and 6% (or another tier of it) can easily be done with just 1 or 2 pieces post 78 for any melee job.

And don't start that whole blinking and curing thing again. That horse has been beat to death about as much as this haste debate. It's all about setting up your macros right. Even if you didn't know about <stpt> and <stal>, <stpc> was still better then using <t> in macros. I used <stpc> for years and didn't have much issue curing people with gear swaps.

Macros, they're so complicated!

Ironic, seeing how they're all just as bad. BG is completely worthless for finding any kind of useless information (and their wiki is even worse), 'cause you have to sift through 500 pages of garbage, people being stupid, insulting, trolling and just random without any kind of actual contribution to the topic to just find one remotely useful sentence.

100% wrong. Isladar mops up that shit with the quickness.

Now if you're talking about general discussion, spam, or media, yea, you'll find all the trolling in the world. In the advanced section, you'll find more useful ffxi info there than you will on any other site.

oh oh Bieber might get banned!
he said the bad word: Isladar

You know who the worst ones are? People who pretend they were "bashed" when they were being jerks themselves are the worst of the worst. They ruin things for everyone and make it harder for legitimate complaints to be heard by the mods/admins.

People who deliberately walk the fine line of not actually breaking the rules are just as bad as the people who occasionally do. They intimidate many nice players who then are too scared to post suggestions 'cause they fear being bashed and made fun of.

Also applies to being painted a villain - the knowledgeable folks will get run off by posters who who troll/flame bait them then start hiding behind the rules or pretend they were attacked.

I hate back-seat moderators to - people that try to act like they are one of the staff but aren't.

^. If you antagonize someone, they are going to respond in kind. You can't waltz into an informative thread, say "lol you guys are nerdz..." and then get mad when people jump on you =/.

+1 for armchair economists who think their high school macro-econ class makes them expert enough to tell the Community Team how the game needs to develop in order to keep players.
