Fairness (Warning: rant ahead)

You want to know what this says? It says that the sackholder was waiting for that body to drop before leveling blu. So yeah, that leader wasn't just being a jerk.

I'm sorry, I don't care if you have a 99 Almace with the best gear waiting for you when you finish leveling, if person A has BLU leveled up, and person B has it at 1 because they don't have the Relic body yet, the person with the job leveled is getting the body in my shell. Why? They play the job, the other obviously doesn't if they are at level 1, or 15, or really anything under 90, so I would not really do it like that, what I would do is simply ask "Does anyone have BLU 90+ who needs that? No? Ok, take it." Simple as that, and everyone is happy, if my sack holder wants to whine about not getting a body for a job they obviously don't play, they wouldn't be a sack for very long.

I remember the last Dynashell I was in, I had got all the BLU relic pieces on free lot despite being in a probationary period at that time. Why? I was the only BLU in the shell. That is fair. Giving lot rights to someone who only has BLU at level 30 and probably doesn't care about the job but just wants to complete their collection over someone that comes to the event as the job in question is beyond unfair and rude, and I would chuck my pearl over that.

I was 2nd thief in a shell that did dynamis and the hands dropped and my long time friend the ls leader knew i needed them but told no one to lot that rdm drops were to go to one certain person and thief drops to another person. I froze and didn't move til dynamis was over and then warped out and dumped the shell. I had been friends with this person a long time and he knew I needed the hands. This was the second time he had did me wrong and the last. The hands went to a person that wanted them so they could store the set and the next day was the update and we got the porter moogle. To this day I don't speak to this person and his ls isn't that great anymore.

It's up to you and you alone. If you dont like the shell's policy (probational period, no helping in other stuff, etc), then dont join them. The problem and the reason why some people would put up with that is they feel it is the only way that they can get things done. Which is unfortunate. The fact of the matter is that a single leader alone cannot get anything done, it does require a collection of good players to achieve anything in this game. This is why so many people prefer either solo play or small group play.

this is what happens when the jobs are horribly unbalanced and alternative strategies aren't supported or attempted, ex: we need "perfect stuns" else we fail.

the developers are to blame for this with the "top players" remark... the damage is done.

Really Ultimas? That is nice for you but for me all my friends have left me behind and not even bothered to ask me if I want to do Skirmish, farm plasm, or do delves so guess what? I haven't did any of that and as I watch who is doing all these things I am deleting them off my friend list. If that is friends I don't need any! Thank you. I am a loner and have struggled in this game to get where I am. I am disgusted how this expansion has brought out the shitty character of people. I come from a very different generation than 98% of people in this game. I have only found 4 people older than me. The more I read these forums and the more I see who is doing what in the game the less I play or even have the heart to log on. I am almost done with this game. I feel screwed myself I don't know what others feel but I don't see much laughter and fun anymore. Doing anything in the game is a pain. I for one don't care to jump in an alliance with 17 people I don't know and if I did and an ass said something to me rude I would chew them up and spit them out. This game has a way of exposing people's character and I see people throwing friends away for a damn game. /sigh

Well for one with that kind of attitude, how can anyone expect to get anywhere? 2nd your problem like many others is that you are "Waiting" for people to ask you. So again I offered a solution by suggesting that you read my guide on Networking in my post titled "Invitation to Plasm farming"

You might wanna analyze how many times you've said the letter "I" in no means is this intended on criticizing you but many people tend to make more arguments about how they feel rather than look at things from other people's point of view.

I know you in game powder and I like you a lot but its far too easy to be negative over a million things but staying positive actually requires work.

Saving you a million headaches if you choose to stay positive and overcome your disappointments. There's too many people here too busy focused on themselves from trying to get things they need done without analyzing certain points as to why they are overlooking basic social skills.

If you read my guide I'm sure it's enough to shed some points on how you can get around the game better.

By the way you know I'm online often and we've had so much fun in WoE together. You can always ask me to do other stuff with you.

I am realistic I see what I see and i call it self centered, self absorbed. You don't know me well or you would know I help people I don't waste people's times asking for help. I post to speak for I so wth you think I am gonna say we, they, he, she? If you tip toe through the tulips that is your choice I see the reality of like what you said "what people are focused on.....themselves.

Giving lot rights to someone who only has BLU at level 30 and probably doesn't care about the job but just wants to complete their collection over someone that comes to the event as the job in question is beyond unfair and rude, and I would chuck my pearl over that.

So I did that: I tossed my pearl, and I'm starting my own up. In a nutshell it's centered around what jobs you have and what you need for them. I won't waste time trying to do the big end game stuff, I'd rather do stuff I know we can smash to pieces and get people armor (relic) and of course cash in their pockets (currency)

Now more or less its based on a "Reap what you sow" sort of deal, if you come to the events then we'll do our best to farm you the relic pieces you -need-. We have waiting lists but we have to first confirm that people have the jobs at the appropriate levels.

Anyone with their jobs 70+ can lot on relic pieces (since they can still wear the base relics until they get them +'d) but it also gets rid of the possibility that people lot just to collect (as I am now 5/5 on BLU/PLD no thanks to that one ls).

Also tell me if this sounds favorable: We do Einherjar, Nyzul, Assault, and of course we get people's bosses/cats but the weekend before that we all take a vote on what we want to do, that way there's no priority and the majority is happy (and we work in the minority so they can get their stuff done, and if their stuff hasn't passed sometimes the vote'll get overruled if they've been waiting forever.

Sound fair enough?

As do I when it comes to helping others. And I don't waste other people's time either but you should know by now that I'm not self adsorbed or self centered >.>

The. Here let me also cite this:

My Blue Mage on Dolphis is lvl 99, I go into dyna beaucedine in that linkshell, we kill and kill, and the. A Mirage body drops. Now obviously I asked if I could lot on it, but due to that probation period a sack holder who 'needed' it stole it from me. I go Ito gusgen the next day, his blue mage is only lvl 15. So tell me Mist, is that fair?

Well no that is not fair but you did not include that part of it either. I do stand by my post, the only difference is no one in my ls prioritized gear for a job they did not already have maxed. That was one of our rules and our core group were cool with it. The ones that were not and tried a ninja lot or refused to pass simply got a d2, a broken pearl and a blist.

And honestly you would likely have /ragequit my ls too simply because we would not have catered to your every whim the moment you joined which is what your posts make it sound like you are looking for. We did have a "help a newb" thing were we always had 1-2 players we would help with missions and what not but they had to be patient. If they asked for help they got it, but rarely that very moment and sometimes not even that same day. Regardless we got them through missions and whatever drops they needed in a timely manner. It just took a little patience on their part.

Also whats all the fuss about dyna drops? It rains relic in dyna now. Back in the day we could run a zone 10 times and never see one drop of the piece we need (10 runs back then was 5 WEEKS worth of trying too btw). Nowadays I solo dyna (on pup mind you so no th) and its rare I don't see at least 1of every piece drop in my 2 hrs.
