This thread AGAIN, please, fix WK.

[Daemon]

deamon speaks upon experience.. he's been playing for eleven years... he doesn't need to do an event to not understand it.... why? because all it is is fighting!

Finally someone gets it.... And that's all it becomes once you reach end game. Same routine, different conditions. In the end? Just more reasons to stare at the computer screen endless hours a day trying to watch graphics move.

@Thorbean I'm not even reading your replies. Waste of time lol. You go group up those haters and earn those awesome "likes"

How many times have we been at end game content lol? People thought level 50 was the end. Then 55. Then 60, then 65, and 70, 75.

Gawd I'm just sick of it already...

While you people think Tojil is the end... I was there when people thought King Behemoth was the end...

When Meteor one shot everybody on the map lol.

[Umichi]

Personally I've just learned to ignore people who think their perspective is absolute... sure I'll talk with em but gah.....

Outside of that Deamon I play FF just to have fun it's one of my luxuries in life I pay for. FF has been with me since 7 and I <3 it! I feel your pain however I still play it because it's a game... to hell with getting the gear as fast as possible... specially when everyone tries to be carbon copies....

Yeah that's how I was playing FFXI. Taking my time to enjoy the content than speed right throught it as if DEV TEAM is going to pump out more every update.

Then when they stop adding content those who sped through it are going to complain and ask for more rather than accept that the vision of the expansion has an end.

Most fun I have is playing with JP LS. Can be any job and it doesn't matter. We play for fun. Not statistics. So what if items don't drop lol. We just play again. It's who you play with that counts.

I don't go back and help lower levels just to be nice. I go back to meet players I know someday will catch up and join the bigger groups later. Make friends and get to know the people who are playing on our server. After all its those people you do stuff with in the end.

It's not the end of the world lol. OMG I better get all my items before the world ends!!! Lol that's how I see people today.

[Daemon]

King behemoth wasn't even on my screen when we all wiped out damn that meteor had such a godly range... And people crying over events today that its too hard or too long lol.

I remember when we actually had to rotate parties and drop dead people's to keep the fight going. All the dead people's had to run far off the map to unweaken, regroup and wait after new party formed ready for invite.

Once meteor went off that's when everyone had to reform and compete over losing claim to other HNMLS waiting to steal claim from you.

Lol those days were fun.

Damn lost claim, its ok we'll steal it back once they wipe lol.. Go send a paladin to watch them die. Lol

It's ok my mule is dead in the middle of the map lol..

Then take screenshots of everyone wiped out while KB on top of us.

Earn 75k Bayld to play 1 time is so hard compared to waiting on the map 1 week real time or spam checking Behemoths domain, sounding the siren to get everyone over to the map fast enough to claim boss before other LSs catch on and beat you to the chase.

Yeah I dunno what I'm talking about until I can get 17 other people to kill Tojil for me. Only til then I can make an opinion that matters.

[FrankReynolds]

Yeah, the Japanese shouts this morning really show how much better they are than NA players who just care about winning the fastest...

In case you can't read that, they are shouting for bard, scholar and dragoon... soooooo different from those evil NA players. Way different...

I wonder why they won't take a skilled thief or an awesome Dancer or a super sexy summoner... must be something I'm too culturally challenged to understand. It could't be because they are *Gasp* humans just like the rest of us with wants and needs just like the rest of us.

looks like they are filling the primary spots from the looks of the squigglies and your helpful explaination. Most JP do that vs Filling up then finding the crucial jobs.

and isn't that a shout for plasm run?

[Slaxx]

Every morning I get home from work and this thread is like Domino's.

Atleast you have something to read and reply to. Lately game has been slow? Forums have been dead too.

Yes, it is a plasm run. You can't really control what jobs people come as in WKR. You may have missed that part of the thread, but earlier it was asserted that JP are far superior to players from all other regions due to their ability to beat any event by allowing party members to come on whatever jobs they want and developing their strategies around the jobs they have instead of being stubborn and greedy like everyone else and insisting that people come on the jobs that work best for the event.

There are English speaking shells that don't care what job you come on because they care more about playing together than winning as well. They are generally known as "Social shells" and are not unique to the JP culture. You or Daemon may know a JP shell like this and may not know any British shells that are like this, but that does not mean that all JP shells / people are like this or that all British people are like that.

Using such a small sample size is an incredibly bad way to form an opinion about an entire race, culture or in this case language. It's a pretty bad way to form an opinion about pretty much anything really, but especially people. It really has no place here. Anybody who can spend 60 pages arguing this crap should have poked into the JP forums by now, taken a quick perusal using Google translate (if they don't speak JP) and realized that they complain about all the same stuff we do.

Easy to judge a shout. ... Just looking at that shout doesn't say anything.

Yes it does. It says that they want the right jobs. These JP people aren't just going for fun and camaraderie like you claim that all JP people do. They are breaking your phony ethnic stereotypes and playing the game to win and obtain gear just like everyone else does.

and isn't that a shout for plasm run?

An NM run is a plasm run. It's 9,750 plasm plus anything you get from fodder if you kill the I-V. Now that the general population understands the Delve NM mechanics and has better gear, it makes far more sense to farm plasm this way. Even under perfect conditions, you'd still be limited by respawns if you targeted fodder only. So this shout is very likely targeting NMs with the hope of also defeating Tojil for an additional 60k plasm on top of the 9,750.

With that in mind, he probably can't afford to invite more than a couple of "non-optimal" jobs.
