Abyssea End game shells and my thoughts and oppions about them

[Krystal]

Okay..so to start off...i figured "why the hell not? try out some of the abyssea stuff...maybe i had the wrong idea?" boy....was i *** wrong....

i decided to join an abyssea end game LS...it seemed nice at first....UNTIL it got to the point of getting some of the rare drops...players in this LS were and i *** you not"at each other's throats with their lotting" if one got a higher lot the other would all yell at them for it and act like a little immature brats who just saw the other kid grab the last cookie off the tray and started to bawl and whine.

this...i could deal with...to a point...as i had no interest in lotting any of the items because i didn't need them. then came the *** .....i have been leveling my war for some time now and aim to take it to 90 soon so when i saw this one rare axe drop i lotted on it...i got the highest lot..woot right?........right? WRONG! no sooner i got the highest lot THE ENTIRE LS(minus the leader who i know and a 2 others) WERE SCREAMING TO HAVE ME BOOTED FROM THE LS. yelling and complaining and throwing every single insult they could muster at me. they even went as petty as to attack my puppet master's hand-to-hand skill which was under-skilled at that time. but the LS leader thankfully said"freelot is freelot" now here's the straw that broke the Camel's back for me...today...i'm in abyssea attow chasim..or however you spell it. we were killing the moth MB for the zone and a epic pair of hand-to-hand weapons drop. and i ask as nicely as i could ever ask"May i please have those? i need them. my weapon sucks!" well apprently these people in end game LS shells don't comprehend the idea of "being nice" is a "good thing" THE ENTIRE LS(minus the same few mentioned earlier)LOTTED ON IT leaving me without a single chance. i ask again before it finally drops"come guys...i need this weapon...mine sucks! please can i have it?" and you know what they said?"freelot is freelot!" i'm sitting here thinking...."no way in *** ....they blow a gasket on me the other day for lotting an axe...but change their tune when it comes to something they will never use and i need?" well the LS leader planned on killing it a few more times..so i figured"okay..no need to get pissy...it'll drop again...i'm sure of it..." well it dropped again alright and once again THE ENTIRE LS LOTTED ON IT and fed me the same line. finally it clicked with me...they were holding a *** grudge against me for that axe the other day. when it finally clicked i was like"no way in *** ?! they can't be serious?!" apparently anyone who won the lot tossed the weapon so they could lot on it again to make sure i couldn't get it. apparently the ENTIRE LS was in on this with the except of the few i mentioned earlier. after three more times of it dropping and the LS poking jokes at me for not winning the lot and other BS i finally said"*** it!" dropped the party,tossed the pearl, and used a scroll to warp out. if this is how end game LS run in FFXI....I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!

EDIT: for all those who have replied with something constructive to say: THANK YOU! you do have a point..one LS doesn't mean all are ***. i'll try to look for another.

On the bright side you can kill pretty much anything without an ls, and that one sounds epicly horrid.

Not Abyssea NMs..at least not if you want an organized way of getting those triggers.

that is not a ls lol.. useally there is some type of an agreement before lot falls

byw abyssea is not endgame ffxi has no endgame

and i dont understand some of your words, rare axe? epic? h2h weapon?

it was a rare axe that dropped from an undead NM in abyssea,can't recall the latent effect it had and the"epic hand-to-hand" as i called was one that has a nice little latent effect on it called "final Heaven"

the relic weapon skill weapon drops? people screamed over that? >.> find a new ls -.-

they are good but why call them epic?

I do not understand such a word for FFXI, i think they use it in WoW though as a gear type.

1)Get some Savate Fists for your Pup =/ Heafon Knuckles are absolute crap.

2) That's not a real linkshell. That's a bunch of whiny brats who probably all suck at FFXI if they actually give a *** about those weapons that the NMs drop. They sound like the kind of *** who complain about Abyssea being too easy, all while being unable to actually finish basic Abyssea gear.

3) Out of courtesy, I don't lot *** I can't equip anyways. If you want to scorn courtesy and lot *** early I really don't care, it doesn't even bother me. Random people will probably get upset at you for it though. It's probably because I only do *** with friends anyways, but we never have that sort of issue. I'll pass Nin *** to people with 75Nin because I don't give a *** about Ninja.

4) For clarification to point #2, "Abyssea LS" are not endgame ls. They're a bunch of shout-tier *** who jumped on the "Abyssea is Easy" bandwagon and manage to throw entire alliances at things that most competent players can kill solo. Because of their endless ability to throw bodies at things, they'll generally actually complete some armor pieces and, occasionally, Empyrean Weapons and thus conclude that Abyssea is Super Easy. These people are worse than shout-tier shells if only because they actually think that they're good at FFXI because they kill Orthrus with 18 people with only 12 deaths. In reality, they probably only have 1-2 good members in the leadership, followed by 15-20+ absolute garbage bodies to throw at things.

If you're going to join up with trash, don't complain about the smell. It's par for the course for them.

I suspect we're not being told the whole story here. What exactly was the freelot axe you took? How many career WARs did you outlot? I doubt anyone in that shell wanted those h2h but they definitely wanted revenge. Greed lots from new members usually aren't received well and tend to result in that kind of behavior.
