Non-Wiki Players

[Eric]

Is it just me, or has the number of these ridiculous players and threads greatly increased over the past month or so?

If you don't want to play with the wiki, don't use it. Simple as that.

If you want the feeling of "exploration" and being able to discover new things as they come out, then simply be there to try things out as soon as they're released.

I know Heroines' Holdfast isn't a very good example, but while doing it on the test server, I had a fun time figuring out certain techniques like how to avoid Mumor's instant death move, and I had a lot of fun, not only because the event itself is fun, but also because I knew I was one of the first people to experience it.

I have something for you.

The brady guide was for noobs. The hardcore elite bought the atlas too which only had maps in it you could purchase making it an invaluable adventuring tool. Mine was so useful its still in perfect condition.

I think this is an awsome IDea SE make a server for all of these guys

Also send them Starcade and Rosina also make sure that server has no connection to talk with outsiders

When you're all on your own server, in your own happy linkshell, and one of you works out how to do a quest....

...remember not to tell anyone else about it, because that's basically all that the wikis are doing.

Good Luck!

Depriving yourself of knowledge is never a good thing.

In fairness, there's a flipside to what everyone's saying: were FFXI not so frustratingly opaque about what it wants you to do (it's probably among the top-five most opaque games I've ever played, and not just in terms of mechanics), I could easily see wanting to play without a wiki for all the same reasons as I try to play without walkthroughs/guides in single-player games. If you don't absolutely need the assistance to progress, why ruin it?

We need to unite.
We should declare a server to be *the one* for non-wiki players and form a Linkshell for us.
That way we know we're playing with likeminded players.

And in said LS, we shall ask our fellow player, "Where do I go next?"

Yup these boneheaded players who long for the dark ages seems to increase in greater numbers lately. First all those who wanted to have lvl 75 caps, then the old school party where you are so dependent on xyz jobs or no party, then all the abyssea haters, etc.... Personally I am all about people abandoning abyssea in droves and run away from it, leave the zones alone, so I can have ZERO competition and can claim NMs all day long and have no lags. I was hoping voidwatch would draw the crowds away from abyssea but seems like people just cannot get enough of it. Please leave abyssea so I can have it all for myself

I may not choose to play this way but the guy wants a real challenge where the answer isn't hit the easy button. I don't see why the same people seem to post such negative talk in every single thread that isn't OMFGILOVEEASYBUTTONSGIVEMEINSTANTGRATIFICATIONLIKEAFIVEYEAROLDDEMANDS!

Yes because a quest giver asking you for an 'item', and not telling you what it is, or where to find it, makes sense.
