Titan [Extreme Mode]

[Enfarious]

I understand why you wouldn't want content that is nearly impossible with lag issues, but that is no reason to be selfish. There are more people who don't have regular problems with lag (at least on my server) than people that do. Making toned down content that is boringly easy for people without lag issues just ruins that content for even more people.

The longest and most posted in threads on these forums address lag. One of the topics in the live letter was addressing latency and server update timings, you really think that "most" people don't experience these issues. Personally my latency during peak times is around 50ms, but that doesn't stop those momentary spikes where stuff just stops happening for 2~3 seconds. If your one of the few that hasn't experienced any of those things than good on, but don't assume that your in the majority and not the minority there.

That said.

I'm among those looking forward to eating new Titan's punches, and getting annoyed by new Garuda sisters, and wondering why Ifrit is still boring and a stunfest (gods I hope I'm wrong here.)

And gods is the 1000 char limit annoying as all get out, who's idea was that, and for that matter the char limit in in-game mail, what's that about, how is mail useful with 200 chars. Saying "Here's that website: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/121627-Titan-Extreme-Mode?p=1592294&posted=1#post1592294" gets cut short ...

Can't wait to start helping people for free and strengthen the community by helping others in need.

How does helping for free strengthen it anymore than helping for a cost?

Both of them you carry the guy who cant do it.

Same result...... He still cant do it but now has a Weapon.

My body is ready.

Looks easy. Is that all?

I can tell that alot of the people who complains about lag does not know that they can use an ability to force the server to update their position.

Not true.

I got helped doing Titan HM two times.
Being helped, I feel like repaying the favor, and help whoever I can, with whatever I can.

Also, if they're paying, you're not helping.

Because it's unfair and mean to ask someone incapable of doing content to pay for it! Just because they aren't skilled enough doesn't mean they shouldn't get it for free like everyone else.
What are you, an elitist who wants to increase the gear gap between skilled and unskilled players?

Helping for free would actually mean helping, offering hints, tips, tricks, teaching, etc. with or without winning, or with multiple attempts to actually get the win.

Carrying is saying, "Just go off the side so you don't get in our way." This is typically what is being paid for, and it's kind of sad since it "helps" under-geared/under-skilled players get relics who later go on to do other things claiming that relic/+1 but being dressed in AF/WP/AK/DL mix cause they bought the win.

On the other hand there's those that just buy them for collections, alts that they don't actually play those jobs, so they can say I have every relic. Meaning they can do it on some jobs, probably all if they really tried, but just don't want to put in the time/energy on all their alts.

Kinda think you guys are being a bit ridiculous about paid wins. People who pay for wins are typically encouraged to actually try their best in the fight and not told just to go off and kill themselves. A decent portion of them actually do pretty well in the fights up until they get killed by a mechanic.

The only real difference between carrying for free and carrying on a paid run is that when you're doing it for free the person you're helping is generally expected to not drag the group down and contribute to the fight's success. In fact a less skilled player probably faces less hostility/frustration from the group if they make a mistake in a paid run because their contribution is more of a bonus.

TWO Landslides indicators on later stages of the fight? AWESOME, time to see who'll get pushed into that edge.

I'm trying to build a house. Damn, idk how to do it. I tried to do it myself a few times but it didn't work out. Gonna ask for some help. Hmm they are gonna charge me? It's not fair, they can do it so easy. I can't do it myself and need their help but why are they charging me?

Just how life works. Pay for something you otherwise can't accomplish with your own merits. not to say you can't do it, but everyone is different. Don't hate people who pay for Titan nor the people who charge.
