lawl. We're diverting from the topic at hand. More illustrations of my taru kicking some bootay please (You don't have to. I'm just bored...)

Well I do need a cover for the TP/MP Bonanza.... Hmmm ^^

[Rambus]

This is the only thread I've followed since day one of the posting that lasted 32 pages of comments lol.

Yep Harp, you were the 5th post ^^/ Thanks for the continued support Don't forget, we'll have to go kill some stuff sometime together /hurray

other solutions for skilling up is nice, can there be a way of doing defense skills (shield, parry, gaurd, evade)? how do you plan of skilling those though? I do like it better then the windy school of magic thread.

Mine was the first post since the first 3 was kingfury XD.

with that said color some pics with blone taru! your mule is my blue hair rival?

While I applaud your thought out approach here I can't support the changes you propose. This game has become too easy as it is. This will ultimately just breed more lazy players. Granted they will be capped skill retards. However they will still be retarded. Seriously tho, not trying to rain on your parade. Just more of an old school (call it masochistic if u like) type myself. Where does this sort of easy mode wave end at? I just hope they implement a new PvP system so I can stab these people on a regular basis.

...a KO resulting in LOSING any skill gained (not in PvP obviously) to prevent "botting", as AFK people should never be rewarded for anything.

Hmm I can see it now...
“That's it! I've had it I'm quitting the game! I just spent another 30min skilling & got my final 5 skill levels for the 15th time! That is until regimen MB Kingsfury 2hr & cast chain spell death on me!!! We see it now! This gym idea was just a ruse! GM Kingsfury was just taunting us for his own amusement! Damn you King! Damn you!!!!!

Lol this about sums it up! My kid eventually just started celebrating with me, not knowing why lol it was great ^^
>My Reaction to Camate's Forward to Dev Team<

LMAO classic!

So far...except this one...here's a summary of the threads i've read or skimmed.
Abbyssea sux...go back and level grind...Abbyssea great....character creation to 90 in 1 sitting...YES!
Relics bad...go away!...Your jealous cuz u dont have 1...your jealous cuz urs is obsolete!
Why doesn't the director of FFXI talk to us....WHYYYYYYY! boo hoo...sniffle sniffle
I've been playing for years...stuff is hard...make it easy 4 me! oh...you did? hmmmm....WANT MOAR EASY!!!!!

then ya have the light-hearted posts, which, while pretty funny 4 the most part....not exactly offering anything useful.
Still a welcome break from the whinefest.

Ugh, can't wait till friday

Not to add fuel to the fire but isn't this kind of a post whining about posts being whiny? lol. I agree though less flaming/whining more winning/kinging!! <-- because King= win! That's right you heard it here first boys & girls the new hot FF catch phrase!

[Bossmaru]

My only question is.. Kingfury is there anywhere to view more of your artwork? it's very awesome.

Did you actually read how the possible skill up systems might work? Thanks to all the feedback from this thread, the system actually would promote education of how to hone ones skills rather than just be a fast track to capped skills. I'm not sure how you equate that to being "easy", rather than being "efficient". Skill up as is doesn't teach you much except how to /run away and zone once your HP gets to low lol(if you're a job that can't sufficiently support yourself long enough to make solo skilling worth the trouble). "Old school" ways to play this game is all fine and good if that's what floats your boat, but it shouldn't be the only option for all player-types in such a vastly rich content game such as FFXI.

Is it ones prerogative to continue to Exp in Uleguerand Range till 90? Absolutely! Is it as efficient as Abyssea? Nope. Can a player choose to play either based on how they enjoy playing/spending their time in FFXI? YES, now they can because SE wants to give us those options versus making something that takes enormous amounts of time to do have limited ways to accomplish. It's a more logical development design is all.

Playing the game over time is what makes you a skilled player, so there's nothing that can replace/outweigh that fact. No amount of skill ups will ever determine such a thing, so your worries can be put to rest. "Experience Players" are just that, Players that have experience playing the game, but it's the nature of MMORPGs that make it impossible to not run into less experienced players throughout your travels.

In my opinion, your argument is no different than the one that shuns players that pay for Relics, or con their way to get access to powerful equipment without even truly understanding how to weld such possessions. Which is a valid argument that I support btw, but if you read over the concept I'm proposing again more closely, I'm not supporting such a thing.

Thanks for your feedback /salute

/kneel ^^/ And a many Thanks for the continued support to you as well Rambus! /salute
My dual-box taru has brown hear, but I'm guessing so long as he has your hairstyle he = your rival lol I'll be adding some more images to "TP/MP Bonanza" and the "Enemy Hordes" sections so I'll be using your blond haired BLU again for sure. ^^/
