"I Was Out of That!" (Some Life Lessons)

[Clarkamite]

I'm honestly at a loss for words as to how people are so lost as to what you are saying, Purrfect. I hear you and I think your "argument" is brilliant. For everyone else saying Purrfect is an elitist prick, calm down. You don't understand what is being said. What's being said is fair, no one is being attacked, no one is being told they need to get good, no one is complaining about DF groups being garbage. In fact, what is being said is simply an argument both sides should take note of. Everyone in this game is putting in some amount of time. Everyone SHOULD respect that and be aware of that. They won't but they should.

Agreed. Some people have even admitted that they didn't read the entire OP after getting to a part they didn't like. How ignorant is that? Then they proceed to post their "opinion" about the OP after not reading, bash Purrfect with personal insults, and ignore anything she says because of the impression they get from what little they did read.

Just another day on the official forums!

OP, you are the one who decided to come on the internet a make a post, and whether or not it had the intended effect or not, this is what you did: You went to PUG in the DF. The DF you choose to do, for whatever reason, was Titan EX. Titan EX is a fight many people have problems with because people have issues with the server, they know the fight, they move when they are suppose to, but they get hit anyway. Yes, people will use lag as an excuse, but that's the way life is. 1) You are asking people to adjust to a game design flaw. In today's world, that simply isn't tolerated. 2) Most people don't really have a problem dodging AoEs, but when I go into a private instance with 8 people and one monster I don't expect to lag if I don't in the open world. 3) This is the internet, and every post, no matter how thoughtful, well researched and logical it sounds to you, its going to be looked at by millions of people... when you put something on the internet, it is there forever. You make a decision to post something controversial on the internet and didn't expect 13 pages of people arguing about who is in the right and who is in the wrong. That's what the internet is for. All of your sociology doesn't work because of how you put the information to use. You can't expect to throw around bibles, creeds, and morals around and not start an argument.

TL;DR welcome to the internet. welcome to politics

The OP still fails to understand not everyone agrees with her. The biggest issue I have is the way she made her point, and the way she acted on the information.

If you know you have lag issues (temporary or just for a specific fight), why bother entering DF being a dead weight to the group? Are people really that ignorant and selfish nowadays? If you put up a PF and ask directly for a carry your clear chances are probably higher than getting carried in Titan EX using DF...

Those first groups to clear it weren't in DF. They were in a group with friends who all understood they were new and learning the fight. Once a fight has been out for a while and you are using DF with 7 strangers it is polite to go in knowing what you are doing instead of holding back 7 other players.

Funny thing is, first thing they do when they enter is ask what to do. So they refuse to read a guide yet expect others to write out a guide for them to read. Sense, it does not make any..... Also, what about those who enter with a language selected that they are unable to understand with no knowledge of the fight also?

They don't work out too well ^_^

Come on, that's not fair.

You can't skip over the whole thread and expect us to read your opinionated garbage.

Omg I finally finished his book. It was a good read. If you are in to Ffxi. That's mainly what he keeps referring to. And what's his deal? He so aggressive. Was he in the party that open is talking about? Does he even know what this thread is about? Remove char limit invoke reading skill test to post. Bye Felicia.

... You do realize there is an actual delay between client and actually moving?

That WHM was just bad. keyboard turning, Mouse clicker for everything slows you down a helluva lot. Only lag was player lag in that, not connection. Just look how long he takes to respond to moving out of landslides. He stays within the telegraph for nearly 3 seconds.

Once you get used to hotkeying everything and using the mouse to move and steer, you never look back.
