So again, what's that about Behest locking out people? It's available for

[size=8]FOREVER[/size]

You would expect people to wait patiently 18 days for a chance to get in an event because they get locked out? Players log in, they are not to be locked out, for whatever reason. Unless maintenance.

It's not right dude. What's with the language, can't you make this a civil conversation? Hope you like getting emailed by the Devs.

I still don't see the point of your complaint. You say the event is fun, so you must have had fun doing it. Following that logic, the leechers there didn't have fun because they were leeching, so at the end of the day they missed out on the fun. Seems to me you have therefore no reason to complain. Anyway why exactly do you care? They got their swimsuits, you got yours and you had your fun. Again, what's the big deal? It's not like they made it impossible for you to do your own thing...

This. If you were gonna do it anyway, the people standing around at the emergency intelligence incinerator were incidental. They took nothing from you.

They didn't hurt anything in the game play/enjoyment ways.

But i've seen a few of them were also selling the ash at a the quest npc.
In that respect they are hurting other players by profiting from doing nothing other then just having a macro looping and standing at the npc. (hmm... that's almost like RTM/botting )

**The ones just not running the bomb are just meh.
I still don't think they should get something for nothing but, they just a little annoying imo, i've more the issue with people selling the ash.

Simple solution is ash/fire works is bop, or make the ash require participation in some event.

I'm really getting frustrated with this event. It seems unless you're a level 50 its impossible to obtain all of the swimsuits. The bomb run in Coerthas is littered with rank 30+ mobs, with level 35 enemies attacking him. To even get there, I have to dodge the aggro of level 54+ mobs (Raptors, Boars etc), and if I die (which I undoubtedly will) the nearest spawn point is a spot on the map which is surrounded by yet more raptors.

/end rant

Seriously though, can't SE make an event which more people can actually complete? I get that a lot of people have their rank 50's by now, but thats no excuse for making an event which can't be completed at every level.

The event will happen again next year.
You can complete the parts your able to, that or get people from your LS to help you.
R50's just happen to be able to solo the event, its a world event, a group thing really, not solo.
Its content, not R20 content but just content for all ranks if the right situation.
I get your frustration but if it was doable solo at R1, they might as well just give you it and not bother making any event of it.

Sorry, but thats junk. They've had many MANY events across FFXI which were completely accessible to all levels. And no, they weren't just 'given' you had to work for them too! Just because an event can be done by rank 1, doesn't mean it has to be quick or easy. There are countless ways to keep things interesting without requiring a trek through rank 60 mobs!

Mentioning hogs and raptors tells me you went to Falcon's Nest rather than Owl's Nest and all I can say to that is: lols. Owl's Nest is easy to get to as any rank and with the event going on, any aggro should be dead or being dealt with when you get there.

It's an opinion, not junk, your I wana do everything! at whatever rank is junk imo.
I think all events should have community parts you cant do solo.
And some you have to do solo.
An yes playing with others in a mmo, such a bad idea lol.
