What's disgusting is your reading comprehension. Also, stuff

Speaking of reading comprehension Insaniakk, here is my original post. You're welcome.

I'm officially jumping the shark, to team Pigmoa. WTF?

Now I get it, You want some things to be impossible to obtain. I understand and respect that. Seeing as how it doesn't really effect me, as I couldn't care less about shit I can't do and I understand you guys want some players to be special or elite but wtf?

So basically you want people to do 100 PWs and 300 DLS to have a glow effect? And a sphere effect that is virtually useless to the person who persued such a ridiculous and crude trial?

I'm not pissed at all, i find it rather humerous. Where is the logic in this? WHY WOULD ANYONE DO IT? To glow? LMAO I'm sorry but you guys have lost your minds.

I can see people doing insane trials for amazing stats and increased damage or some special trait that boosts their playability, but if you honestly think any group will waste time doing a trial that long and hard, to simply glow (which can be turned off via effects if a person doesnt wanna see it) you guys really are as crazy and looney as the forum says...

Yes, i can understand 100pws trial if you want a player to gain some amazing stat or something, the people who want to be the absolute absolute absolute best would try for it (altho they have too much free time and are crazy, but i understand the want to be special in game) but to make a trial like THAT for something that is USELESS other than to glow.

I am officially team "WTF SE".

I totally support this trial being reduced/erased/gtfo IF THATS all it offers. I am aware SE only offers small rewards for long trials anyway, but this trial has to be the MOST SHALLOW and ridiculous trial from a payoff-reward ration in all FFXI.

I'm not suggesting they make it the only stage, im suggesting they rework the whole thing to just be as easy as people want it. That's a way better strat than doing this. This is truly alienating. It's like you guys are running so desperate for idea to keep people playing? No one is going to do this trial. People do relics for themselves. No one is going to do 300 adls so they can glow. People would do 300 adls for increased stats and proc dmg. People do relics to be stronger and better at their jobs... not to glow. At least not to the extent of 100 fkin pws.

I would rather there only be the easy trial. At least It gives me some comfort the dev team hasnt completley lost it. I used to think maybe people were whining a bit too much, but with this trial.. honestly.. are u that desperate to keep us playing that u would dare ask us to do 100 PANDEMONIUM WARDENs just to ...glow?

Just GTFO

More reading comprehension for you bro. You're welcome.

You're going off on tangents about entitlement and whining but the focus of your first post was how this was a stupid decision. My argument is that you lack the critical thinking skills to understand why they would have done this and why this option is the most beneficial to both the players and the company assuming they HAD to make some insane trial.

Im sensing anger from your posts or frustration. I'm not taking this as seriously as you obviously, but again, you are the one having trouble with reading comprehension and putting words in my mouth. I never said making an easier trial was a dumb thing to do.

I'm saying the trial for afterglow relic was already ridiculous, but it's even more ridiculous now. Your opinion on it is biased because you are one of the "people who would quit over it" etc etc. So It's no surprise you are thinking about it from a very naive point of view.

"This trial will keep hardcore of the hardcore playing and satisfy them for their e-peen items!" is basically what you're saying correct?. Fact check, this is just you being naive. You are beyond delusional if you think any hardcore or "no lifer" player will be happy with this.

I'm not suggesting they take the stage 1 off either, so don't get so hot under the collar. I'm arguing with you only on the basis that it makes even LESS sense than before. You don't see it that way, but your opinion is so biased, I can't take it seriously. In the land of marginal upgrades, a trial this exhausting for somethin that offers no benefit to the holder over someone who didn't work nearly as hard, makes less sense to me than having to do something ridiculous for an increase.

I'm not saying you or any relic holder should feel bad or anything either. I'm simply stating you're not giving hardcore or no lifers enough credit. I'm going to bet, unless the afterglow is amazing in what it does to the party, almost no one will attempt this.

Going to use mythic weapons as an example. Back at 75, alexandrite wasnt so hard to come by. Why did so few do mythics? Mythic quest is arguably LESS exhausting than lv99 afterglow. So why did no real melee attempt mythics? Here is the answer: They sucked. If your assumption is correct, people would have done mythics to look unique and e-peen right? Sorry hun, but that's delusional thinking. Sure, people go after e-peen, im not arguing with you on that, but the line for it is very paper thin as opposed to sanity and wanting to actually gear your job well.

If you honestly believe there is even a handful of people who are so desperate to look good, that would do this to feel good about how they glow, you really are as disconnected with the xi base as a whole than the devs.

I can respect your opinion, you just respect mine and we can debate peacefully.
