Go ahead.... Admit it

I didn't know about Focus Target until I got to Hydra and needed it to know when Fear Itself was being cast.

I didn't know until like two weeks ago that if you're on a mount and you run across the border to one of the cities it automatically dismounts you as you zone. Those one-tenths of a second add up!

Took me about 3 months to learn where the aggro meter is (found out during titan hard mode run).
/facepalm

There's an aggro meter?!

My friend started playing MNK a month or so after release, and always played late at night. We are on different schedules, so I didn't get to play with him much. By the time I finally got to play with him on the weekend, he had just hit 50 and was going through the last few main storyline instances. After he got out of the cutscenes & credits, he asks me the following question:

"So which job gets teleport? White Mage?It really sucks having to run all over."

I about died.

All through 1.0 and about a month after release of ARR I thought it was Camp BluefRog. Turns out it's actually blue fog.

:O It's not?!?!?!

Before I learned what the party window shortcut was, I was always teleporting trying to find party members to promote them to leader (by right clicking on their name in the HUD) so they could invite someone...and then I found the chat command.

When I was leveling ALC, I ended up buying tons of Cinnabar from the city Tradeskill Merchant in order to convert it into Quicksilver, for use with level-equivalent recipes. Sometime well after I had reached ALC50, I scrolled down the vendor list a little bit more and saw that he sells Quicksilver too, at practically the same price.

I tried to convince myself that "at least I always had HQ Quicksilver" in order to lessen the pain a bit. ^^;

This. But to my defense, I'm a healer and I never really personally target boss unless I'm using focus target.

MY BRAIN, I CAN'T EVEN. NO. I DEMAND A NAME CHANGE.

Took me a couple months before I realized I could manually sort party members. Healing 8 mans became so much easier. Although now they have auto party sort....
