SP nerfed. We were lied to.

[Kensei]

I must have missed the portion of the letter where Yoshi said "don't worry Kensei we are not going to touch your Behests"

there are alternatives, you can claim that they are more or less efficient, however you can not argue that pre 1.18 had better sustainable SP as compared to post 1.18... i know you will try but you really cant, good bye surplus.

Ok, so you agree pre-patch was faster. That's all I am saying. Like I told you before I know I can get SP now but it will take much longer and Yoshi said ranking up wouldn't be nerfed. Slower SP gain = ranking up is nerfed. How can you not agree?

slower SP gains was met with no surplus which = the same or a little faster then old SP methods.

you act like SP reduction was made to counter the removal of surplus. I already told you I'm getting less SP now than I did in behest while fatigued pre-patch.

Spit some more of your "numbers" so i can post more of this to my LS forums, they are having a hoot.

I have no reason to lie. You think I'm making this up? Well nothing I can do about that. Those who are going through the same know what I mean.

Oh, I didn't realize we had to work in a video game to be legit. If mindlessly killing mobs for hours day in and day out for weeks gives you some sense of accomplishment and is fun to you go right ahead bro.

Finally you understand how its going to be. Just took you 200+ Posts in this Thread.

But to make it more clear:

Its not about the work, its about dedication.

People who play together in a LS, or in a circle of Friends like it this way to see process. Afterwards people can say, "wow, look what we did, look how many sp we did with old fashioned FFXI grind style, look how we beat the Boss of the Dungeon".. and so on. That is challenge and that is how a video game have to be. Its a game.. so e-peen is allowed.

Did you play an OfflineFF? IF you did.. did you finished the Game by staying around, or doing the same Stuff over and over again? I guess not. Multiple aspects of the Game, will bring you to the Goal, not a Single one and avoiding everything else. And i can say you did nothing but fail-leve's... or you wouldnt complain now, if you would have explored the virtual world pre-patch and would have figured there is more than just 3 leves at BrokenWater.

Learn to optimize your Role, learn to manage other ways to be effective, try out different things, play with other people, get a community and make a Static-pt, put effort into it to see your own process and be proud of it what you did with your mates, enjoy different aspects of the game and also you can hate some ( you dont have to like ALL of it ), be frustrated, be happy, be down, be up.. enjoy, have fun.. and so on.

Yes that is a videogame.. if you want gain things, without doing anything for it, without beeing dedicated, without leaving one Area, without trying other things to optimize or be effective, without trying to meet new people and SP with them, without also putting so effort into it.. then this is not the Game you should play... then you should play Stuff like this:

Wow so many people with this point of view is alarming. Seems like some people really do have all the time in the world. "It took 6 hours to rank up pre-patch that's easy mode, you are not earning it if you don't grind for at least 12 hours per rank" GTFO. Like I said those of you who get a sense of accomplishment of doing the same things than pre-patch except that now it takes 3 times as much time to rank up you got your wish so by all means go grind and feel accomplished and fulfilled.
