Need some dragons roaming Eorzea!
Lol of course I played FFXI and lol about 'Not camping it everytime' (works on paper but you know how those no lifers are). Commitment to a game? Sure the psychologists would love to discuss that one with you lol. Who talked about gettting things anytime ones want?
I did all the endgame shit and stopped playing FFXI for one simple reason: Time sink activities that had nothing to do with challenge!
My attention is focused at my work! I play to have fun. About my 'exp PT' epxerience, I was RDM so no problem getting a party or getting to cap. Better gears doesn't mean better players. It just means you have a better tool, doesn't mean you necessarely do better with it.
Actually, I shouldn't even have replied to that post. Just attacks, no arguments whatsoever, uselss post :D
I'm a gamer. I started out playing ffxi under a 2 hr limit. I saved up money from my part timre job I finally got @ 19 to buy a router, wireless game adptor, a second ps2, and a second copy of ffxi just for the HDD so i could play ffxi longer. Adverage time after.... 12-16 hours. Maybe 20 hrs if i can't sleep. I hunted hnm before, ran dynamis, did some sky, and spent days if not weeks hunting other nms for drops. I got sick numerous times doing that. Trust me no item on a video game is worth the health risk. I made that mistake. And also I had kirins osode, ohate, okote, and brown belt. Kirin thingy was borrowed from my ex. I tried them and honestly they are not even worth it. I saw no difference.
FYI Part of the term NEET is No Education, employment and i forget what T stood for atm.
pretty much they are shut in bums. Who have no life and spend every waking moment doing nothing.
Well in this instance, looks like ppl hatin on you cuz they don't want it your way. I'm not sure if this was brought up (every time I hit refresh its like 10 new posts against and 10 new posts for), but I think in one of the polls (I'd have to go look) that it showed that JP players didn't have that much time to do things, busier life styles and what not. So, moving to a harsher-longer system wouldn't seem to make sense on SE's half.
its just about some lame kids who would rather camp all day instead of fighting a real tough NM with a low drop rate.
Its those kids JP player laugh about, coz they confuse skill with gearing and botting 24h pops.
Moth, I love ya but I have to partially disagree with you.
I play this game a lot, probably the majority of my free time, but unfortunately, I have to pay for my house, internet, computer, subscription (eventually), food, etc. Since my parents aren't rich, this means I need to work. I work a 9-5 job, which means if there's an NM that only spawns between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm EDT, I will NEVER see it. That means there is content that I, a working stiff, will never get the chance to see. I admire your position of "those who are the most dedicated should reap the greatest rewards," and to that point I agree, but I do not like the idea that because I'm a responsible adult and I go to work every day to support myself, I get tagged with the label "baddie", as though I should quit my job and play XIV til I get evicted.
I liked this thread when we didn't name call one another.
Lets be civilized ladies and gentlemen, please.
Camping = Skills
NMs, hmmm.
i remember wasting a whole free week once to camp Kreuztet, just for a stupid dagger.
i bet everyone that remembers that son of a bitch knows that he only spawned like every 7 hrs or so, on top of that only during windy weather.
after a whole week of almost no sleep i ended up getting my sirroco kukri to drop at around 6 a.m. in the morning of my last free day.
win win win!!!!
after that week i never camped nms again.
i never had a ridill, but i had enough time to collect beastmen seals to get myself a kraken club.
Dude it didn't matter. NMs in XI spawned with a random timer and if you tried to claim too fast you wouldn't get it. It was all luck. Bots didn't do anything.
Their forums have like 30 something threads.
Ours has like a million filled with people who don't even play. It's pretty embarrassing to be honest.
and vish nolifer don;t ever comment on adhd lighty..... its not really cool to have it. And at this point youh never even read what that per wrote they are not talking about playing 3 hours. they are talking about staying UP TILL 3am then going to work 6 hoursa later. 6 hours is not enough sleep.
It was only a hypothetical. Since we're talking about stuff that has not been implemented in XIV, everything we say is hypothetical. My point is that people with 8 hours or less of free time per day need 1337 g34rZ too.
I totally agree.
With what? A "YOU WIN!" screen?
Is that what you want in XIV? You want to play for a month and feel like you beat the game?
I think it's already been established that you have no idea what you're talking about.
I'll say it again. A PATCH LATER IN XI PUT A RANDOM TIMER ON NMs THAT WOULD STUN YOU IF YOU TRIED TO CLAIM TO FAST. CLAIM BOTS DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. YOU'RE JUST MAD YOU DIDN'T CLAIM.
It took me a minute to get this! LOL
This is appropriate:

and no one is saying that. And what alot of ppl say is true, Japanese have a much stricter life style then we do. Look up the japanmese education system sometime. 1 school year starts in march, and ends in april the following year. Most students stated at school till roughly 6pm depending on activities. Most schools also had weeks going from monday - saterday.
so.... going to school for over a year under about 10 hours 6 days a week. ya... Plus after middle school you had a choice to get a job. or go on to high school which public or privet you had to pay for. So most students needed a after school job. Not to mention they work right after high school or uni. So ya. They don't want a video game to be stressful. And tbh niether do I.
Huge K.O. followed by gold medal after taking down an NM.
I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiting SE.

I don't have the time to do the 24hr pops, my teen/bum days are long over, pulling all nighters going through kings and trying to stall kills to keep the buggers in our time slot, fighting against bots and stupid smug people thinking that their shit don't stink because they can down fafnir in 10mins got old a loooooong time ago.
While the current stuff are ridiculous like killing an NM only to see it pop right after, I'm very much against the 24hr pops, something in between like 3-4 hours is ok with me.
