Best thread of this forum for all of eternity.

How do people miss the humor in this? Stop being so defensive about this game. It's okay for people to lighten the forum up now and then.

Well guys we have seen a lot of arguments over the last week since the forum opened.. and I think, you know what, we have to work together if we're going to make it through. So I say that anyone who subscribed to FFXI for more than a year should have access to the following FFXIV game mode called Loyalty Mode, "Available exclusively to our most valued customers".

A partial list: (and feel free to add to it)

-Up to 10 retainers (but a total of 7 bazaar slots regardless of how many retainers you have)
-Removal of gil from guildleves or any other means
-Chocobo rentals for 10,000 gil
-Airship pass for 500,000 gil or a fetch quest that takes 7 real life hours to do
-Can't equip other classes' abilities
-Anima permanently set to 0
-Jump mode permanently disabled
-9 1/2 minute wait to get on each and every airship linking the 3 cities
-Removal of aetherite plazas and guildleves
-Skillpoints reduced to 100 for even match enemies defeated and capped at 450 for full parties
-Manual skillchains and exp chains enabled
-Party flag feature and party range reduced to + or - 2 levels
-Level caps at levels 30, 40, and 50 with difficult 6 member party quests to do to unlock them
-Removal of local leves
-Looking for party feature compatible only with other Loyalty mode users
-Triple Triad minigame available on the 45 minute manual runs to exp camp
-Removal of teleports to the major cities
-WHM teleports added and crystals placed at a 20 minute run from each major city
-Mailbox added with 8 mail slots total
-Mog House added
-First city of the new expansion requires a 10 hour quest just to unlock and must take ferry there for a 15 minute boat ride
-Weapon upgrade quests that require you to go to a far away area on foot and wait 5+ days for a weather effect to appear while you kill a certain type of enemy
-Linkshells reduced to 1
-Endgame gear collection area that you can run twice a week with 15 people and that drops 6 pieces of gear total, 1 million gil entry fee
-Dev Q&As disabled on the Lodestone
-Removal of map icon and journal updates for quests
-Random cutscenes enabled in a random place on the world map once a random quest is flagged
-Best sword in the game dropped by an NM in a cave that takes 30+ hours to spawn, so your entire linkshell has to stay logged in to that exact cave for 2 weeks camping it and killing it so that a few members can all get the sword
-Storyline missions no longer soloable. Requires shouting in Ul'Dah for 4-5 hours a night hoping to find someone on the same mission as you so you can complete it
-At the beginning of the game you pick what class you want, the game starts you out as another class and you have to level to 30 to unlock the one you originally wanted
-Basically any important item you need in the game to level up takes a large party to obtain, and the monster only drops 1 of the item, but only sometimes
-When you die several times in a row, trying to solo, bad luck streak, or on a tough boss, you lose a level
-Run speed reduced by 50%

Did I cover everything?

EDIT: 5 more added

This post just turned my frown upside down! I mean really... all of you need to stop being such one-minded serious sams and take a moment to either read the full post or just to plain out get some humor into your system! XD

[Kazza2003]

All that´s posted there reminds me of XI ^^.

[MagicofGaia]

I got about 4-5 items down before I just started laughing. My fav is definitely run speed reduced by 50%.

[napalmninja]

Words just cannot explain how epic this was.

[Ostia]

lol... now i feel really sorry for Yoshi-P and the FFXIV team,
like they dont work hard enough on this already.

They been kinda enough to let us play the game for free up until now,
it would be rude just ask for something like this.

no thanks, i dont want any of that...

I want SE and rest of the japanese population to be safe & have a good life.
Now they gonna have hell for the upcomin months, rebuilding things, lives, economy etc.

Because SE lets us play FFXIV for free out of the goodness of their heart ?

[rbrogue]

He is listing what are generally considered the worst, most boring,timewasting and painful parts for XI as a joke, the fact that some people are jumping up and saying "OH MAN THAT IS AWESOME" has me worried.

Yep... smh.

Funny post.
