I'll Forever be Bronze

[RajNish]

Yeah ok, I see where you are coming from.

Thank you for your understanding. I hope I was able to explain why I do it this way. It's not arrogance or impatience, and it certainly isn't irascibility. These markers for me are now a signal of anxiety. And I suspect I'm not the only one. I am not inclined to attribute my experience to others, but I understand that someone can also have a completely demoralizing reaction to this due to a similar experience. And frankly, when it happened for the very first time, my hands literally dropped. If before that I tried to do the maximum, then after this there is only one thought to quit and leave. None of the rewards in the game are worth it.

Actually, if they gave us back overhead markers that were part of callouts like Focused Attack generating a 5-second countdown + burst marker, I'd like similar overhead markers if used with an ally as as a target that looks like the sprint icon for "Fall back (and regroup)". That would eliminate my reason to use the Ignore mark instantly and I'd MUCH prefer that.

What you said about old markers sounds reasonable and I agree that it would be much better. I don't know why their new system is so poorly designed and why nothing changes. It's a pity.

Also, question of curiosity, how do they message you without having you in FL?

Sorry, I was imprecise. It was "Tell" chat option. Given that we are on the same server, it was not difficult for him to find me and continue.

Sounds like EU GMs alright. Once got pulled into Mordion with an account warning for kicking an extremely toxic troll out of NN (reason invoked: hampering on their gameplay experience).

One of my friends told me that he ended up in Mordion and did not really understand why. It seems that, according to him, they explained it like there was some kind of violation and he allegedly offended someone, but as he says, he did not even play in those days. How it happened I don't know. It's hard to judge because I don't have the details, but I think a little more transparency in their work would be nice. Because the line that cannot be crossed is incomprehensible. What I see is that the people who spammed the chat keep playing. People who have harassed others with markers keep playing and doing it again and again.

And sure, tell me to git gud while you're at it like everybody else on the damn forum. PLD is impossible to climb with compared to other jobs. The fact that it's a team game where nobody wants to work together obviously shows that Ranked is an utter shite show and should be shut down.

I'm late to the party on this one.

Stop trying to win. Start being as annoying as humanly possible. Get in people's heads and make sure they're miserable when playing against you. Seriously, I'll say it again. Your life ideal is to be as obnoxious as possible, that's your new win condition.

You cant count on your team.

You can count on your ability shut down people and make them wish they just didnt play the game.

Purposely overextend and get good at using defensives and stuns and kiting away from people to waste time. It doesnt matter the rank, ff14 players are unsophisticated when it comes to pvp and will take the bait 80% of the time. This will work even up to platinum/diamond.

Get good at sitting on the point until their whole team gets there, then kite around a corner (most teams wont follow) to drop agro, then back on the point when they start trying to push forward. Waste.That.Time.


Climbing will be a byproduct of you just being obnoxious.


Edit:

Also turn off your chat, completely. No channels. You don't talk anymore, you emote like a mime.

It's ultra effective. Make sure your character has an obnoxious laugh. Turn off emote messages to chat. Spam it so that everyone hears. It will haunt their dreams at the end of the night.

Have the squat and pushup emote? No? Time to grind it. Then spam it on people who are dead.

FF14 people have massive egos, they will tunnel vision you to no end if you bruise their egos.

This ends up making them waste resources on you (which you've become a master at ducking out and drawing out fights) and give your fledgling team mates the ability to blast at least one person down.

^ This is very true.

The more you tilt your opponents, the more likely it is that they'll make mistakes that throw the game entirely. Even some high crystal tier players can get their ego bruised.

I always get that smile from "mind game masters" who unexpectedly get either a good focus of the enemy group or a well-aimed headshot from around the corner. As a result, if the enemy team is good, all their art comes down to hanging around behind the walls so as not to multiply the opponent's KO counter. Although as part of the stage image it sounds good. Sorry, just thought.

Yeah... Some jobs are incredible hard to climb. I made it to crystal this season because l want the glowing sage weapon. It was a nightmare to get out of gold with ranged because that's what I like to play. Yes, people in bronze generally doesn't know they can pot while you cover them, And that greatly diminish paladin's value... A guy in top 100 told me that he just hard train on monk so he could 1v3 in bronze silver an gold to get out of it... I think SE just needs to hand out reward like how they handed out wolf collar, so that you will get something even in bronze, But it would just take a long time to get these new glowing weapon.

Do you know TOS is update that using emote on that person after KOing that person is against tos And technically get you banned?

Pretty sure if you're not right ontop of them it should be fine.

[Eastwall]

And l have to admit l don't think it got enforced that often unless someone got reported many times from different people

where is the lie?
Also side note, don't emote ontop of a body it will get you banned. stand at least a couple yalms away from the dead body before emoting.
