When can we buy a second level boost?

[mandodo69]

I dunno why you have such a chip on your shoulder about it mandodo69, are we going to ruin your game by having more characters at endgame?

Commendation on spending time with all 6(1 pending) kids AND working AND being able to relax and play games. I have trouble with just me and my job making time for friends, immediate family and games.

So far, 90% of those I play with who use jump potions honestly suck. They cause dungeon wipes on the basic pulls and seem to forget some abilities are locked behind job quests. Do you know how many smn\\'s that are 70 and still don\\'t have bahamut? A lot. I mean a lot a lot and it\\'s getting worse. So yeah, it effects me. Had a healer yesterday in all ilvl 150 gear trying to do doma. They met the bare. When asked, they bought a jump potion. Sigh.

But jump potions give full 260 shire + the 245 filibuster for the second ring. Something else is happening if they only have ilvl 150 gear.
As for the bahamut-less summoners, I have to agree with that one, even sub 70. I've had multiple SMN in the last week or so who keep showing up in 50/60 roulette without having finished their class quests for the level, my personal favorite being one in Pharos Sirius wearing their level 45 job quest gear, the chestpiece from Dzemael Darkhold, and a random smattering of level 5-20 jewelry along with the ilvl 49 Pupil's Book of Mythril from Aurum Vale. They had less HP than a Bard with minimum ilvl sync for that dungeon. They died to -everything-.

Alright, new players suddenly at endgame are trying. I gotcha. I'm with you there, they're annoying.
Older players who are leveling alts are NOT going to be these people. Having more than one boost available per account isn't going to result in more bad players, the players that "lol oops, I don't have those skills" in dungeons are going to do the same with any job, and statistically you're going to run into them at the same rate.
What you might like though is there are going to be more Healers and Tanks from players who didn't want to grind those classes up from scratch but are very aware of what they should be like at endgame. They'll make queues faster.

Also, the 150 ilevel newbie, how did they get to Doma Castle and not have any quest gear?.. or dungeon drops from ANY of the dungeons from 60-67? That's an achievement at least to get there with NO upgrades.

PotD maybe? Idk

You've been busy...but not with this game lol.

That is true lol. This 7th kid was a surprise, hell, they all were lol. Although between me and my wife we pull 20k a year in taxes alone from kids. It's easy to have kids and play, my sons, 3 of them, actually play this game too.

7 surprises? Contraception?

"Surprise" in this case is a euphemism for "couldn't be arsed". I also think it's incredibly gauche to brag about how much taxpayer money your kids net you, as though they're assets to be written off.

I understand that players are anti-potion, because of the bad players that it can create, but the truth is, bad players have always been here. This game has given us options on how to combat the players that are bad and dont want to improve, this option is: Vote Kick.

If a newcomer wants to spend his/her money to skip alot of the game and prevent themselves from enjoying the ARR/HW storyline, then this is their choice. I had a potion user in my party few days ago, he was bad, like BLM that never used Fire IV/Blizzard IV etc. bad. I gave him advice, even asked the tank to pull 1 small group so the BLM could practice. He refused to accept our help, BLM did not care about his preformance, did not care about the group and was fine with being carried. So we took the next action and booted his ass out!

Simple realy, if you think they are bad, kick them out. Its called playstyle differences, GM agreed that this is a valid reason.

But I jumped... and I like to think I do my best. :c I even ask for tips on various forums. Is it that rare? I'm sad now. - I just wanted to play stormblood. T.T

Sadly, it is rare. I've seen very few people when the first timer thing comes up at the start of a run actually ask for assistance with anything. And unless they are REALLY struggling, I won't say anything since I've tried before and people have snapped saying they want to do the dungeon blind. When someone speaks up, I will do my best to help them(even going so far as staying in the synced Ifrit EX - got it from Mentor Roulette - until the timer runs out to help them learn it) and give them what advice I can, though it's not always the best of advice since I'm not that great of a healer.
