Just wait, we'll get a RDM melee debate sooner or later. Rule 0 of FFXI being what it is.

What else is there left to do in FFXI other than comparing spreadsheets?

i replied dozens more times then you give me credit for and you act like i didnt. You that trolled the tread to begin with, the tread HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH GEAR, it was about flagging a wsnm quest, the fact that i mentioned gear in one part of an explanation and your trolled it to death there, trolling here, and your not even did you go back and read the posts before you came here to post, yet you got nerve to call me stupid and act like i avoided you, lol. Enough with the stalking, are you gonna show up behind the aisle at walmart now when I go shopping?



Now, im not going to go back and repost all the quotes that I orginally quoted and answerted, therefor this post above might not make the best of what im trying to say to u, but thats wht i enclosed the threadlink for. Also, this post didnt have your name on it in the orgianl thread, but from what you posted here, I dont see any specific wuestions that you asked that I didnt answer.

The whole point I was making which went over your head was,
1. I already had the af3+2 body before i started leveling nin
2. I didnt want to do the af1 body quest at that time,and was being forced to do some af to flag the wsnm becuase of a glitch, that's why i posted in the bugs section
3. I didnt have a problem doing af I just had a problem being forced to do it then
4. Af3 is better outside of abyssea for the body slot on everything that is not junk mobs and for the future, because (af2+2 wasnt released yet) higher acc, more damage per hit, more crit per hit, better for the body slot. I disagreed with getting af1 to have a little bit more dw when I already had the af3, and 19 other jobs I have to gear so unless af1, as I said, was more impressive then I wasnt gonna invest my time.


Even if af1 is better outside abyssea, and I doubt it is because of not having the acc or crit hit rate for v.t. mobs or new hnm, the benefit of it wouldn't be much greater than af3, and therefore it is not on my list. You miss one swing in your af1 and you might as well be wearing my af3, get it?

ALL this is moot now cause af2+2 body seems to have the best tp gear stats, for the body slot, it boasts high acc for non-trash future hnm, and 20 attack for that hard hitting umph, plus dw. So you see, I WAS RIGHT NOT TO GET THE AF1, because af2+2 is the new hotness and I didnt waste anytime in getting something that's not, so ha. If af1+2 turns out to be vastly superior to af2+2, then yes, i'll go get it. But the difference between tping in af1 and af3 didnt seem impressive enough to warrant getting it.

now pleasae, leave me be in peace and let it go.

You are really ignorant about your job. There's so much wrong and misguided information in your post about NIN it's not even funny.

As nice as it is hearing everyone complain, there is only one thing I can think to say...duh?

A lot of us are unhappy with the Dev Team's choices. ALL of us know friends that have quit because of the Dev Team's choices.

So? What's the use in complaining at this point? Its 100% obvious that nothing is being done (at least not in the right direction). SE has seen an enormous amount of unrest and frustrations voiced on its forums, yet things are getting worse for the majority of the player base.

Yet we keep complaining. And SE watches us as we vent, and keeps throwing shit at us knowing that we have somewhere to vent the next time we feel the need.

So what do we do? Well...nothing. It's highly unlikely that enough people will be on board with simultaneously canceling our subscriptions to show our displeasure with their decisions. As effective as it would be, I'm not even willing to. And any other such massive, timed, cooperative measure is hopeless considering how horrible and disgraceful our behavior is towards each other as it is.

The only thing we can do is wait, wait until enough players have quit that SE either is forced to fix their behavior to save their game (LOL I mean profits), or SE decides to close the servers. Inspiring right? Almost reminds me of our current political state.

Anyway, in the mean time, while we're awaiting to see how desperate SE needs to get with respects to its profits to fix our game, I'd be very interested in actually having a SUCCESSFUL method of communicating with the Dev Team. One in which the communication isn't shrouded in bullshit. I don't want to write and/or read a billion posts and hope that the team reads them and/or that they care. This one sided form of 'communication' makes it extremely easy for us to be ignored.

Now, to be the devil's advocate, but also because other possibilities have crossed my mind...
One of the reasons for my interest in having a better communication system, is that I legitimately wish to hear what SE has to say. I know they spew the word 'balance' to justify their changes to the game, but I want to hear more than just that one word repeated to infinity. I don't see War - Ukko's fury and Sam + Shoha as a balancing act. But anyway, there is a very high possibility that we're miscommunicating with SE and a simple thing such as an interactive communication system could fix our problems.

Also, I'd be very interested in hearing what people think that are not displeased with the game. I want to know why exactly their satisfied, because (I did not read every post in this thread, but from the ones that I did read) the posts I read in this thread from people not wanting to quit have been mediocre and uninteresting.

Anyway...my 2 cents at a point when I'm really frustrated and angry @ SE.

Just wait, we'll get a RDM melee debate sooner or later. Rule 0 of FFXI being what it is.

I see your rdm and raise you a melee smn.

I've never seen a game where a ranger is like a bard, at all.

I'm contemplating a departure from FFXI.

Why? Because I picked up Skyrim this holiday and remembered how utterly entertaining games could be.

I've also been reading up on Guild Wars 2 and it looks like it will be much more flexible and engaging than FFXI. It also helps that the marketing literature does a fantastic job of bringing across the development team's enthusiasm for the game and the new directions they want to take the MMO genre. If that game lives up to even a fraction of my expectations it will have absolutely no trouble prying me away from FFXI.

The grass is greener elsewhere.

Stand around in town checking random people.

It seems that SE actually believes they are good at balancing things.


I've never seen a company talk so much about it, and throw the word around and fail so hard.

Just because the world "balance" is thrown around doesn't mean balance is a achieved, this feels like a crack-head asserting that he's clean.

No matter how many times he says it, it simply is not true.

Touche.

Honestly though I've been having a blast lately low manning dynamis for relic +2 items and -1 pieces. And seeing how Tav absolutely refused to drop my RDM -1 body, this might take me awhile. I've already gotten PLD / BLU / SAM / DRK / WAR -1 bodies and legs, but not RDM, one of the better ones. My plans are to fully upgrade RDM and BLU to +2 and eventually do SAM / DRK / PLD / WAR, but those are way way low priority.
