triggering weakness

[Lanette]

I'm sure many of you have noticed the direction end game has gone for FFXI. Hunting NMs and standing around till the weakness is triggered then kill if it hasn't died already for even killed the party. Many of you are angry that your Main job can't trigger anything so you just stand there until you are given the go to kill. Small groups with only the jobs that can trigger, so expect to level one of those and make it your main. We have to do this to get the gear we want so expect to do this alot....... how do we all feel about this?

I think it is great.

Almost everyone hates it, as almost everyone said in almost every other thread about this.

Then again as the population starts to drop and servers consolidate due to the popularity of FFXIV, it will all work out fine. :/

In old endgame in FFXI it took years to get your gear..killing over and over and over again, now they make it easier and you complain? It took me 2 years camping HNM to get the then best endgame gear, enjoy just having to bring a specific job to proc a !! and get your stuff in a fraction of the time.

Looks like it's never going to work out then D:

How you could say "popularity" in the same sentence that has "FFXIV" is a paradox. You forgot the "non-" part.

Anyway, we're screwed. Why are we collecting this gear we never get to use because they're for jobs...we never get to use...to get the gear...

Two paradoxes, one post. They said it was impossible...Oh crap, that makes 3 paradoxes.

It makes complete sense,
level another job that can proc everything to be able to gear up the job you want to play but will never be able to.

wat? FFXIV has like a tiny fraction of the players FFXI has, and struggles to keep hold of those..

popularity / FFXIV

These two words do not go together, at all..ever.

LOL I know that "other" game is crap and should be scrapped. FFXI should have been given a face lift to bring it up to speed but.... (*cough* PS2 limitations) I can respect spending years going after gear because it took years for me to gear up my whm and smn. The areas where different and the battles engaging. Yes I was whm for most of it because I was good at it and it was needed more than smn. Not because smn could do nothing useful. I certainly didn't have to stand there and do nothing wile a monk tanked it wile we figured out who needed to poke an NM before we would kill it.

Almost everyone hates it

I assume you have statistics to back this up?
