Ok why are we still trying to define this stuff? please STOP this thread is pointless..

Holy Carp, the broken clock is right. Who the hell cares? We should be pissed at SE for wasting time with a pointless gil chest instead of fixing actual problems in game. Like the flubbed up targeting, the permabroken spells, the lack of coherent direction.

Eh. People take the definitions WAY too seriously. I'm an ultra hardcore player at heart but am casual about FFXI. That's because I play this with my wife, who is a casual player. For fun, when she has some time to kill with me and nothing else needs doing more.

At one point, we joined a linkshell. It was right before she was starting a new job, so had some extra time on there for the moment. It was absurd how everyone was talking in there about what to do with "new members" and "events" of basically trying to max level and blast through all the content ASAP. I don't see how anyone will stay interested if they've already done everything. Is the point of the game to blow through it all in one sitting or is it to have some fun?

Besides this, I am looking forward to when our characters reach high level. I intend to come up with ridiculous unthinkable strategies to pwn tough battles with unexpected classes paired up. There's a lot of freedom to be found in not just following the pack. The "elite" players on these games can't see the forest OR the trees. Find one combination, one approach that works and then they convince each other that no other way can possibly work. When I play games I am hardcore about, I get my kicks by kicking those people around. Usually in PvP. With methods that they would never consider and can't comprehend how to counter. It's fun.

I Like cake. People who don't like cake are elitists. People who like cake and cannibals. The world is cake. Kneel before ZOD!!!

I can't believe I gave up WoW for this game.

Then why are you still here? Not being mean but if you are so unhappy why not go play the game you are happy with than stay playing something that make you feel this way?

[Bamph]

I can't believe I gave up WoW for this game.

And I can't believe people give up this game to go to WoW...

OMG! If we were roommates we could totally be like the Odd Couple. One of us likes WoW, the other likes FFXI. But in the end (especially with SoA), we can both have fun together while hitting rocks in the respective games we play. (Although I'm new to hitting rocks. Can you guide me through the process since you've been doing it in WoW since the beginning?)
