The Journey - Is It Still Wanted?

[Jynx]

unlike you all the above was already completed (quests, AF etc). And exploring, what's to explore when you've been everywhere, done everything?

You did all the quests and explored everywhere? I call BS I spent seven years playing XI and there was always something to do even with just one level 75 job.

"Ditching my effort to level my own class"? That's just you being selfish, when did doing something for your friends need a reward? I solod tons of merits on my THIEF if I can do it, anyone can, and tons did. Get your head out of your behind and look beyond your silly objective opinion and realise that there were tons of people who enjoyed XI for exactly what it was, and those same people are looking at XIV to provide a similar (If not slightly different) experience.

If you still think that only new players had tons of stuff to do in XI, then I doubt you ever truely played the game at all and just wasted a few years of your life not even playing all the content available to you.

Do you actually read before you say anything? I mean really. So you're calling BS on something only I would personally know, then proceed to tell me I'm selfish because I want to level a job after I get home & not merit? Seems like the jokes on you, because you don't seem to know a thing and dropping a bunch of assumptions like this forum normally does without any solid facts besides your whole self proclaimed crap.

And also good job not reading like 90% of what I said, we aren't talking soloing at 75 (seriously why would I be soloing on a 75 when I want group on a 40?), not even in the slightest so there's another nice little assumption gone wrong. The only objective opinion I see are the people here, did I once say I care how you play your game? Nope, yet here I am arguing about the most pointless crap over some people trying to defend something that I gave not so "omg so nostalgic" opinion about.

Moral of the story, actually read my posts before you start running your mouth instead of skimming through so you can grab some out of context quote to try and look witty.

Let's go through some points.

-You are not selfish if you want to level instead of help a friend. You are selfish when you whine about having to level instead of helping a friend because you had every option to do either and choose the former.

-I solod on Thief well before 75, getting a party was rough for thief for...almost forever. When I wasn't making my own parties I was soloing (Great way to keep your marksmenship capped.) Any class can solo pre-75 it's not the best exp under the sun but it's better than sitting around with a thumb up your behind crying about the lack of parties. On this notion, lowman parties always worked as well. You are to blame if you just went with cookie cutter camp/party setups and didn't go beyond the little box you define as the "Norm"

-I stand by my assumption that you let 9/10ths of the game pass you by while you wept gently into a friends shoulder about how bad you felt when you had to merit on drg.

-What you thought about FFXI is irrelevant, you have no place to come in and shit on everyone elses opinion of the game who don't agree with you. I haven't said anything about your sad experience in the game aside that I feel you missed out on some of the greater things the game had to offer bassed on what little information you have givin me to go on. Was it the wrong way to play the game? I might think so, but all the power to you to sit in town for hours on end waiting for someone else to make the game happen for you, "Grinding" instead of playing the game.

-I frankly don't give a damn wether you liked parts of XI or hated it all, calling people massochists because they like a certain playstyle. I guess I'm a bit guilty on this front as well as I called you selfish for not "Ditching" your merit parties to help friends, I'll bite the bullet on that one.

I did read your entire post and my points all stand, your half assed assumptions about my posts aren't helping your post either.

It's like no one here has reading comprehension I swear, let me break this down for you. I never whined about not getting parties I gave my opinion of how it WAS when I played, when I couldn't get one I did something else I really didn't feel like doing to pass the time over the 5 years of playing that bs, this is how I got everything explored/done because I was always seeking so damn long. And about me leveling ? Here's where you clearly once again can't read worth a damn, I've said multiple times that my version of helping a friend was joining a merit party instead of leveling because of course all my friends mostly only did that till an event. So once again let me break this down for you, no one actually needed my help, but I had the choice to merit or seek a few hours getting pretty much nothing done but your crappy quests that are completely meaningless to me. Got that now? I'm sure you got it after the 3rd time right?

Like I said, know what you're talking about before you run your mouth, you just make yourself look like an ass. And I haven't shit on anyones opinion just because I have a negative one, never once did I say no one can play the way they want, oh but wait I think you did a few times. Swear these forums are so ridiculous. And please show me where I assume anything about your posts, all I've done is point out the flawed 90% of the crap you're spewing about knowing what I've done or how I've done it.

Anyway this'll be last post at you, just another ridiculous fanatic making up the most ridiculous crap to try and get a point across that will never go through. All I see you saying are creative ways to be bored, and ineffective ways to party. I shouldn't have to sit there and tell my entire "life story" of xi to make a point, but as I said you're one the types on these forums that will just keep coming up with more of the same excuses every time no matter what I say so I'm leaving it at that, take it for what ya will damn hypocrite.
