Man, ChatGPT is working overtime for forum trolls.

This person gets it, please people stop engaging with these chatbot posts…

Really ? Are you going to compare fishing to doing ultimates ? Lmao

Your ignorance is blinding.

I honestly think you should google what the pteranodon and wivre mount requirements and rarity are, besides the mounts you have to pay 30/50 million gil they are the rarest...
And you don't need cheats to get them..

You're mistaking "difficulty" with "dedication to finishing a mindless grind", because that entirely sums up the requirement to obtain the Pteranodon mount. You'll spend about 176-200 hours farming materials in the Diadem to get the amount of points required for the DoL part, which gets you more than enough materials to craft enough G4 Artisanal items for the DoH part. Current melded DoH gear even allows you to 100% macro these expert recipes.

This doesn't mean the Pteranodon mount is anything to scoff at, as a grind like that isn't for everyone. I just wouldn't describe it as "difficult".

Oh, and the Wivre can be bought at roughly 32.5 mil (~65k per bicolor gemstone voucher).

And you're mistaking "dedication to finishing a mindless grind" with "easy."

People on my server had to log 13+ hrs a day during firmament rankings to get the Saint title. Don't tell me that isn't difficult to do.


And while we're at it... don't tell me ultimate titles/weapons can't be bought either. I'm glad SE cracked down on the ads in PF for it. But let's not pretend there hasn't been a problem with that.

You missed this part of what I wrote, my goal-post moving friend: "This doesn't mean the Pteranodon mount is anything to scoff at, as a grind like that isn't for everyone. I just wouldn't describe it as "difficult"."
Nowhere in my post do I mention it being "easy", because that would imply that there's a difficulty range to the grind in the first place. The Pteranodon grind is a simple case of "put in enough time gathering/macro crafting to succeed".

Anyone macro crafting expert recipes for the Saint title was probably going about it in a questionable way, because they definitely weren't hitting anything but minimal collectability for turn ins. Also comparing RMT-riddled content sales (Ultimates) to tokens that can be bought off the market board (bicolored gemstone vouchers/Wivre) is hilarious.

Only because you keep cheating to clear said content, if you didn't cheat the content didn't need to have strict dps checks were you need to be using a parser or whatever you use...
They should just release a version of the FFXI absolute virtue but impossible to beat without cheats, ao they could ban everyone that clears it

They... they did? It took years to beat AV "legit" because people figured out strategies to beat it and SE declared the methods as cheating and banned people over it... Absolute Virtue

I'm not the one defending the use of third party addons which are against tos, you are defending cheating.
No grey area, if it isn't part of the official game or developed by square it's forbidden and a cheat.

You are ridiculous, saying that players on console cannot see their damage output is supporting cheating? So youre one of those ppl who thinks that a parser is a cheat . That already tells me all I need to know. Show me where the bad dps meter touched you.

am and have always been pro parser, there should be one in the game. Was pro parser when I was on console and will remain that way.

"If something is against TOS its a cheat!!!" LMAO so all of you bibo body amnesis users are cheaters too then? Show me exactly how you cheat with that miqote eyebrow upscale

[NoctusT]

NGL I was actually about to post a serious response to this bait post lol.

"Let's remove crossplay completely because of a world race that's run by less than 0.1% of the player population. That'll show those 10-15 cheaters. "

FOH LMFAO

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAH Ban that person for using Noclippy they shouldn't be allowed to play MCH with high ping.
