this is getting Ridiculous

[Taruranto]

And you can still play with your friend every night now. What were you doing every night anyway in FFXI that you considered raiding to begin with, seeing as to how Dynamis and Limbus were both at 3 days lockout each at release and for quite awhile after ?

No, I can't. I can't do Coil every night with my friends and I can't help them with it. I could do Sky, Sea, Dynamis, Limbus and Odin's Chamber in XI with them though. You are not playing a MMROPG, you are playing the 8 men lockout game, log in every monday.

"B-BUT SEA AND SKY ARE NOT RAIDING!!!"

Who gives a shit, they were worthwhile and signification endgame content worth doing. Unlike CT and Ramuh.

There is a big difference between content that you don't want to do and lack of content.

There is a big difference between content worth to do and content not worth doing.

Using hyperbole won't do you any good. It takes 10 weeks to get a full gear set of soldiery, weapon excluded. Also, you are throwing myths on alts when you don't even have a Novus yet so I am inclined to believe that you are either ignoring content unwillingly or are just ignoring it because you don't want to do it but again, this refer to my previous statement: There is a difference between content that you don't want to do and content that exists.

46/75 Alex for Animus, riiiiight.

I'm sorry but I really can't take you seriously with a statement as ridiculous and childish as this. There is a plethora of things I think Square Enix did wrong so I highly doubt me disagreeing with you makes me some kind of white knight.

Sorry, but the reasons why content lockout is bullshit are been examined multiple times. Only the worst SE fanboy are willing to defend this bullshit. Them or casual that afraid hardcore will progress too much leaving them behind.

You can easily pace yourself at a decent speed and play with your friend everyday,

No, you can't. Don't you read people complaining they can't play with their FC members every day on this forum or how they log and had nothing to do because they capped Coil on first day (or they have static and can't join random pug or friends and progress with them)

"Hey friend, can you help me with T6?" "Nope, sorry, cause Yoshi doesn't want me to gear that much or play you ya :^)"

Heck, they could also solve the problem by using a model similar to CT for coil, but again, NOPE.

"B-BUT PEOPLE WOULD SELL RUNS!!"

2 words: who cares.

just not rushing and getting everything done in less than two weeks.

Actually, you can do everything in less than two weeks. 2.1 complete extremes the first week, complete CT, complete the new dungeons... after it just became the "log on monday" game.

I mean, if you are complaining right now about lack of content with lockouts, one can easily figure out how even worse it would be with no lockout.

Or maybe it would be better. People would log out to do coil with their friends. Gear up their alts.

With hunts, that allows me to play and gear up as much I want,I'm playing more.
