Ok...let me level with you here SE...

[Babekeke]

I'm so brilliant that I have to slag people off whilst hiding behind a level 1 mule

Another add to /blacklist... These forums are getting quieter by the day.

[Kimble]

The only people that think that leaders deserve more then others, are leaders. Which is why they make a LS to begin with.

[Nordya]

I'm probably the only one that likes it when Anewie gets mad

But I do agree with some of their points.

[Daniel]

please stop derailing this thread with your stupid squabbles about how hard/easy it is to run an LS... its not relevant.

These trials are stupid and I can already see that its pretty obvious that only a few relic holders will get the 99 upgrade done, instead of the intended "Most". Should be kill DL 10 times or something like that, DL isn't that easy even with a group of 6 you still need a pretty specific setup to do it reliably.

[SNK]

Um.. one person at a time? Sure, the leader will go first, but the leader obviously does the most work and shoiuld have priority. This is not selfish, it's common sense.

What version of FFXI are you playing again? LOL

Assuming that the requirements stay the same when the trial goes live on all servers, in 6 months time, 3 people on each server have the trial finished, and SE decide that it was maybe a bit hard afterall and add the items to more mobs or make the trial only 5 items. When the trial first came out for HMPs to upgrade everyone Q.Qd and said there was no way anyone will get 1500 of them. Maybe SE will add pouches for these items too? Who knows?

[Greatguardian]

please GG.You are not folling nobody.

Lol at your "linkshell" counting as a large scale endgame ls. Aww honey, bless your heart1 (aka B**c, please)

Running a ls that did sky,sea,einherjar,various hnms,dynamis 5 days a week. Yeas that took work and patience and im sure leaders of the legendary endgame shells back at 75 would agree.

It makes much more sense when you know who GG was before abyssea. Lolz. W.e im done arguing with u. Ur ls was so amazing gg! And it was SO EASY to lead too.

Because ACLARITY AND WINGSOFVANADIEL were SO AMAZING, SO PROACTIVE, SO ELITE! right GG?
AMIRITE? Lol, bless ur heart booboo

edit: yeah most ls leaders have IT EASY! AND THEYRE NOT EVEN ANY GOOD. gtfo. Its an embarrasment to the hard working shellleaders who did well by their members w.o taking advantage of them. U go around spouting bs about how easy their jobs were and how theyre still not any good. I could hav been the most hated player in xi, but at least im not a joke player kidding myself into the thought that i was so amazing and leading was so easy. dude ur ls was never that good, u were never that good and that hasnt changed since abyssea. its just no one cares how good u are now and u can sit down trying to front. ur ls was never large scale and you know it. so stop lyin.

lol wat. Wings was always a social shell that I took over after a friend quit. Or does ElectricMayhem not count now? Probably not, considering it did, you know, everything that you mentioned.

I don't need to front. The endgame scene on my server knows me. They've known me for a long time. You're just some piss-poor leader who feels the need to shove her self-pity on everyone else and demand priority on crap because "leading's hard work, guys".

Yeah, right. The FFXI population figured that scheme out years ago. Leaders in a competent shell don't innately deserve jack shit. Praise? Sure. Props? Sure. Respect? Sure. Higher pay? Naw, son.

If you remember Tanaka's interview that was posted to Alla's forum, that is exactly how he operates. He make things extreme hard initially and then slowly lessen things out. If you look at the history of this game, it is exactly how it operates in most instances other than Abyssea - to those ppl who wants to comment about abyssea, please dont. my post is about the idiotic thinking of Tanaka and not about the good/bad on abyssea. Let's discuss the idiotic thinking of Tanaka and the dev team regarding how they think. Somehow they are still stuck in the 2004 mind frame.

[Raksha]

I see what you mean.
But hey lets think outside the box for a second. Gives us an ammo item that gets inscribed with the trial. The item is all jobs so youncan go whatever job you want for the fight. Get the kills on any job or combination of jobs and hand itin. Voila problem over.
It seems we could do it this way, and party setup would be no trouble at all.

The best way to do that would be have Arch DL drop a KI to everyone in alliance, then you turn in the KI to an NPC for an Umbral Marrow. Unles you can turn in the KI itself somehow.

Good old "My ls is better than your ls (besides I get all the uber lootz first cause leads rule)", which has absolutely nothing to do with the topic what so ever. This Anewie person seems to lavish the anonymity of the internet by purposely attacking individuals and dropping bait to incite fighting, so I just ignore them. If something of value or worth comes from people I pay attention, but if they prance around with their asshat spouting nonsense then on to the next post I go as should anyone else.

Back on topic, the whole "balance" act SE is going through while trying to add content is really starting to show that the dev team just doesn't have the resources to keep it up while taking feedback at face value. They should be working on the game like they used to, but adding content then do refined adjustments separate from other content development. Trying to do it all at the same time is having painfully obvious negative effects on the game as of recently.
