Throwing

[Bulrogg]

We have to get over the fact that not every person/party/alliance/linkshell fight/kite/kill the same mobs the same way.

It doesn't matter what mob we are "doing wrong" we are doing it the way we see fit. It's our monthly fee, so we will skin the cat our way. And "In" before "I hope I'm not in line" etc.... because if you're in line for a mob behind us, you'll just have to wait because we all don't do things the same way.

Bulrogg, wish12oz seems to think that we are on here tooting our horn at how good Throwing and Ninjutsu currently are, rather than seeing the obvious, about how we are opting for improvements in those respective abilities/skills.

Ya, we don't all do things the same way, some people like to waste everyone else's time. Saying it's your monthly fee is also irrelevant, because everyone waiting on you to finish, is also paying monthly fee's! You are also right, there is lots of ways to do things, but, there is only one quick and efficient way to kill things, because one way will always be the fastest, and that is the correct way to do things.

...because one way will always be the fastest, and that is the correct way to do things.

Sounds like dogmatic religiosity to me.

You're also assuming "Fastest" to mean the same thing as "Correct"

Ever hear the story of the tortoise and the hare?

Throwing is situaional at best. It could be updated to make it more than that. I am for this update.

Do things your way and just hope you don't get stuck waiting for a ??? behind me. I play the game for enjoyment with the style I choose. So sorry it offends you and your mantra of 'only one way things should be done'.

It cannot be updated to anything beyond a low level damage tool until they make haste affect ranged attacks, which they basically refuse to do, so it will never be good or useful. The only other way they could fix it is to add throwing weapons with 200+ damage, 100delay and 50 snapshot. That option is also pretty much never going to happen, ever, get over it.

I have heard that story, and it is also irrelevant because the rabbit was stupid. If the rabbit would of just ran straight to the finish line and won, it would relate to this discussion.

Yes, it's dogmatic, and yes it is also correct, [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XI FORUM Guidelines.] you will also accomplish a lot more with your LS if you can kill things faster. Accomplishing more is better then accomplishing less isn't it? or did I somehow end up in bizarro world....

Accomplishing more of what exactly?

[wish12oz]

Accomplishing more of what exactly?

Anything.

But generally accomplishments are viewed as mobs you defeated (not so much anymore) and items received/gotten for others.

What I am saying is, your end game LS could get twice as much done as they do now, if you played correctly. By correctly, I mean, killed stuff as fast as possible, instead of dragging your feet and using throwing items, drk dds, pld tanks, kiting stuff you don't need to kite, or whatever inefficient stuff you're doing.

Tell you what, ask your LS if everyone would rather spend the next month gearing 1 job for everyone, or gearing half a job for everyone. I bet you none of them want to get only half a job done, which is basically what you're suggesting by saying doing things quickly and efficiently is bad.

[Greatguardian]

I dunno.

Me and my friends get stuff done and all have at least one Empyrean weapon.

But we have fun.

What could that possibly mean?

Oh yeah. People who don't run around with massive inferiority complexes, linking being good at FFXI to being a jackass, already understand that the two are completely independent concepts. There are jackass, workaholic noobs (TONS). There are chill, laid back elites (eg: everyone I associate myself with, and there are plenty). The only thing you're spreading is ignorance.

People like you are part of the problem, not the solution.
