A Little Pain with my Pleasure

[fusional]

I rather have gear break than lose exp. Gear I can fix pretty quick and makes more sense, losing exp I have already gained feels like a waste of my time.

and here you've hit the nail on the head. while exp is technically extremely easy to get in this game (and in XI now), and while hitting a player in the wallet (repairs) technically hurts worse- the exp loss is more of an insult because it costs us time, and we have better shit to do with our time.

you can only stockpile so much exp, then you have to waste time to get back to cap. buying 10 stacks of grade 5 dark matter, by comparison, is far far less of a net loss of time. and so we prefer that option, as it doesn't needlessly distract us from what we *want* to do in the game by making us spend extra time doing something we *don't* (and shouldn't need to)

You're right, of course. I never tackled any difficult content in 1.0...

clearly. your lodestone history doesn't lie. unless you'd really be audacious enough to imply killing great buffalo like 2 years after it was ever relevant was somehow difficult, risky and noteworthy?

...and hence haven't died yet.

no, i'm sure you've died quote a lot, even on your trivialized content. which may have something to do with you never doing 17min speed runs, darnus hard, ifrit extreme... or even lowly garuda. and truly, i don't bring any of this up as an insult. people play at their own pace and that's perfectly fine.

i bring it up to give perspective, and to point out your lack of it. because it's easy for someone to talk big about things which they have little or no experience with. which leads me to this last little nugget-

Sorry, did you have a contribution to make?

yes, actually. my contribution will be to continue to push on the bleeding edge of new content, releasing videos and strategies and DPS rotations and healing tips so people can, you know...

...finish these fights with minimal deaths. and maybe improve as players!

should we discuss your contribution now? because all i see you doing is making shitty suggestions about things you have no understanding of.
