Am I the only one that dislikes the procs setup?

Please, for the love of god, go with the general consensus and call it yellow. That G word is an abomination and should be destroyed.

Back on topic, I do dislike the current system, it makes finding/forming pugs an arse, thus making acquisition of gear dificult for those without an LS/friends willing to get them for them. I do like that above idea about needingonly the job it drops only be the trigger, though I'm hoping these battlefields will make jobs more useful for finding remotely any kind of seal you may need.

I hate it because well I have PLD and DRK leveled well PLD I have pretty much lost all hope in. Anyway I have armor pieces for both but can't get the seals because the way everything is setup.

Please don't tell me to quest I should not have to do a quest which may or may not give me the seals I need I should be able to join a few people to kill stuff to get the seals. People who are happy with the system like it because they have a job that can join.

Edit: Not everyone can leech jobs in Abyssea FYI... I tried a few times but the only way to get a leech spot now is to pay gil which not everyone has a ton of.

I have got almost all my seals from quest, 1 body seal for blu from op 4 feet from NM 1 leg farming the KI pop for the zone boss. I did it that way cause of the freedom it provided not having to bother with pugs at all. Also put your own group together to leech.

You make more gil leeching even if you pay for it than you pay to get in generally.

People have been leveling other jobs they don't like in order to be able to easilly achieve things for their main jobs for years, this is nothing new.

Case in point: Anyone who leveled War, Sam, Rdm or Brd in order to get merits on their real job. Almost everyone who leveled Bard in a Ground King hnm shell.

I love it... but then again, I'm a BLM.

It doesn't take skill, but it does take an attention span... which the vast majority of players seem to lack. You'd be amazed how many mages don't even bother trying to interrupt themselves when the monster is clearly casting/TPing. (I understand that sometimes TP moves or magic casting occur right at the end of a spell, but I'm talking about people who cast Burst and keep casting despite the monster reading up Waterja.)

It's very easy to sit and wait patiently for the monster to use TP moves and magic spells before casting. Start casting right as/right after the monster does it thing and you'll usually be golden.

I must say, after leveling my Elvaan to 75 BLM solo (because of ToAU), and then leveling my taru to 60 during ToAU prime, it's very refreshing to finally be a black mage who gets to be a black mage! I'm finally wanted and that makes me happy.

The best thing to do? Don't level another job you don't want to, but make friends. Make friends with people in linkshell, or join an abyssea linkshell. I'm always very happy to provide my blm or whm for linkshell mates who are hunting seals or +2 items.

Besides. the flaws arent in the !! system for several instances. The flaws are in the jobs themselves. DRK and PLD for one can proc all red !! with a ninja but it doesn't help them in the end because compared to war(and every other job tbh but war in this case) they are inferior. BLue is only "flawed" because mnk can do all at once during a certain time and after all those years of regular lotto and 21~24H waits on NM the idea of just waiting until a "proper" time isn't a very painful concept to all of us. SE probably should have forced lolpup ws into blunt hours to give it some variety but I'm not exactly screaming with rage over the fact that i don't have to ask random noobs that will probably cause or nearly cause a wipe to help out.

Greelow was just sheer luck on blm's part.

I have problems seeing greens and even I can see some green in that image. I figure calling it "Lime" would make more sense, but when did internet naming conventions make sense?

Not to toot my own horn, but I made a post recently about expanding the weakness system without going out of the way to harm the current incarnation. I won't claim it a perfect idea as is, but simply something to get the ball rolling and possibly get SE to consider later.
