The Flame Geode Thread...... Again.

[Lisotte]

Congratulations on proving that it is easily doable. And for old content, you don't need 6 people. You just need 2-3 well geared players...

Easy for me since I have semi-decent ways of earning cash because I've played a while; not so easy for someone newer. And glhf on old nyzul with 2-3 people when you get order lamps; you'll get 5 floors for the tag only if you don't have more people.

[Mirage]

so tl;dr: you have absolutely no interest in this content and just want to spread crap in the thread for fun.

[Theytak]

I love how he continually ignores my question about how changing this for the better would negatively impact him in any way.

[Fupafighter]

Good luck getting weather changed while it's still relevant lol. Just like how metals aren't in supply and we should be able to farm those fast too lol. Goooooooooooooood luck.

[Mirage]

Thank you for wishing us good luck.

Now what I'm wondering is why you insist on comparing these to heavy metal plates, when one of the items is used to upgrade certain mid-tier weapons, while the other is used to upgrade the best weapons in the game. I don't think you ever actually supplied a good reason for this, but I'm a reasonable person so I'm giving you yet another chance.

Mocking Cammie, who in another thread was complaining plates were not readily available either. Seriously if ya all can manage to get the devs to change flame geodes in the next 6 months while it's relevant, bravo, otherwise good luck. I'm just expressing their view that it is not necessary to change this, and there are more important things on their agenda. Like you know that paladin and red mage thing that no one ever gets to use anymore, and how enmity is completely boned. They really don't care about people having to pay a few mile for a magian weapon with the economy in this game.

Mocking Cammie,

Camiie. At least I'm worth mocking. I wouldn't even bother with mocking you.

who in another thread was complaining plates were not readily available either.

Compared to the number required, no they aren't.

That's what the community team is for. What you, and they, constantly fail to explain is why. What's your real angle on flame geodes? At least be honest and tell us how it hurts anything for there to be more fire weather.

Like you know that paladin and red mage thing that no one ever gets to use anymore, and how enmity is completely boned.

Fixing fire weather/flame geodes should not be so taxing that it stops them from fixing broken jobs.

Then I guess we'll just keep complaining until they do. Whether you like that or not is irrelevant. You might as well get used to it.

And also I have given my suggestions in other threads on things I would like to see changed, or I have supported other peoples ideas on what should be changed.

And I'm not pissing in YOUR Cheerios, but here you are standing over mine with your fly open for no apparent reason.

If these are the issues you face in FFXI, man I'm concerned for people that have to play with you.

They don't have a problem with me. I kind of wonder what yours think of you when they see you trolling the forums. Maybe they enjoy it as much as you. Maybe they think you're a jerk. I can't really say.

If it's so taxing to make a fire trial weapon why don't you make a different type? Others have mentioned how you can farm the geodes if you're so set on finishing one. Even if you're only able to get 1 each firesday you farm, that's only 55 hours of work and it's scattered over a period of time. If you farm a mob that also drops gil or another sellable item, you're increasing your efficiency and expanding your options. It really should not be difficult to finish the trial if you put some effort into it.

If you're complaining about doing the geode trial multiple times, you'll get no sympathy from me.

The rep has already pretty much told you the fire weather won't be changed. The design of the expansion's zones are most likely complete by this point, so asking for extra fire weather is pointless (that's not to say they didn't already build some of those zones in already).

The person who asked why it would affect people negatively if the drop rate was increased... Yeah, the only reason I can think of someone seriously asking that question would be if they joined after abyssea or if they somehow never looked at the market.

[Camiie]

The person who asked why it would affect people negatively if the drop rate was increased..

They should increase fire weather to a level in line with the other elements, and leave the drop rate as is. The market is a concern, but it should be secondary to people trying to complete content.

It's not like crafters won't still be able to charge an arm and a leg for gems and rings. Heck the demand for flame geodes could actually increase as more people find fire weapons more reasonable to obtain. Right now you have a lot of people staying out of the market entirely because it just isn't worth it compared to the alternatives.
