Really really sad that maintenence is 2 hours before normal time

[Galactimus]

I don't recall him saying anything about wanting to off himself or anything. He just said he's really bummed. o_O Also, maybe he works 80 hours a week and he just didn't have the time to cap esoterics, and the early maintenance cut into that last bit of time he had to play. You're making some pretty dramatic assumptions about him based on a forum post that doesn't reveal enough information for you to know that he's just lazy and waits until the last minute to cap tomes. I really don't understand why people are so hostile here about everything.

There's absolutely no hostility at all; it's just logical assessment. You are bringing emotions into this but it's simply looking at the facts. You have more than 160 hours to cap Esoterics. At the most basic casual-level it can be done in "30 minutes a day." Through whatever circumstances the OP decided to cap at the very last possible minute; even though maintenance messages have bombarded us for the last 24 hours.


It doesn't matter if the person heavily procrastinated, completely forgot about capping, or worked for 80 hours. One simple dungeon a day caps your Esoterics. There's absolutely no reason to feel pity for someone unable to accomplish this; especially when it tried to be done at the very last minute. It's logical to say that anyone who can't sign into FFXIV for three hours a week to cap their Esoterics are either extremely lazy with Esoteric farming, or simply don't have the time for one of the most casual MMO systems in existence (Esoteric Capping.)


In either case, if the OP is THIS heartbroken (re: over-dramatic 'bummed out' sentences begging for GM's reimbursement) about capping Esoterics then they need to procrastinate less or make a lifestyle change that allows them at least three hours a week of game time.
