I saw this line in there and had to laugh. I played Dragoon in FFXI. The few. The proud. The people who wait days, even weeks before getting an invite to an XP pt. I wrote a freaking book (an embarrassingly terrible one that will never see the light of day again) while sitting in town with my seek flag up, waiting to be invited to I could just get some xp. I'd try to start my own parties, and people would say "fk no, not with a dragoon, beotch!" Having a pretty solid guarantee that you will, in fact, get into a party in less than an hour of waiting would have been like the heavens opening up, choirs of angels singing, a hoarde of nude supermodels beckoning suggestively from the clouds, Beethoven's 9th playing somewhere in the distance, and God offering to buy me a beer, to me back then. No offense intended, but good god, you can't find something to do for ONLY 30 mins while you wait? REALLY? Just sayin' that sounds really, really spoiled rotten to me. I mean, while I queue up on DPS, I'm forum hopping, doing chores around my house, indulging in my hobby of writing, watching TV, and a hundred other things. And frankly, during the hours that I am able to play, after I've put the kids to bed and my wife has gone off for her alone time, I rarely have to wait more than 5-10 mins for roulettes and/or hard mode dungeons for tome farming. I don't really get what you're complaining about.
