That "girls play FFXIV" topic gave me a brilliant plan...
Step 1) Remake your character if you feel like you can afford to do so.
Step 2) Make that character a female.
Step 3) Act like a female. A very flirty female.
Step 4) use your new womanly charms to squirm your way into an elite endgame shell.
Step 5) Level Black Mage to 50 as it's always needed for everything.
Step 6) Flirt with the leaders of said linkshell so they'll take time away from their busy schedule of Achievement-gathering to help you get your Garuda Weapons/Relics/Darklight before anyone else simply because the leader has a crush on you.
Step 7) Recreate your character back into a male when 2.0 happens and have fun with your new stuff while others are envious on how you got it all so quickly!
Bonus) Be sure to exploit every gil piece you can out of the people you "befriend" so you can be wealthy at the start of 2.0, such as "borrowing" some strong, melded gear worth millions!
Tips:
-Never start any ERPs. Always get close to it though.
-Only target the event organizers.
-Don't do anything to give yourself away.
-Reveal yourself as a guy only right after you get your goodies and before 2.0 happens.
