Back in my day...

[Pirika]

Back in my day, marmots were actually marmot sized!

[Martumal]

Back in my day we didn't have no fancy dark matter, no sirree. We had to look for branches and other criminally expensive materials to repair our equipment. Back then everyone wore Bronze Hauby's and used Ash paddles instead of swords because they thought it was cool.

[Leyza]

"Back in my day, we headed to Ul'dah in a sandstorm, uphill, no tutorial, BOTH WAYS. And we owned at it, too! Now get off mah lawn!"

[Lyssa]

Back in the day, 99 arrows were a stack. And you had 80 inventory spaces.

[Rydin]

Back in my day I hit physical level 50....
And All my classes shared one set of attributes... but you could change a few stats every few hours....

Back in my day, I got my last battle class to 50 the week before they removed fatigue... lol... (True story)

Back in my day.... not only could you not search the market wards... but they didn't even have sections... everyone just sold everything in the first ward, and you had to browse retainers for HOURS to find anything useful....
People actually had to post their retainers goods and location on YG if you wanted to sell anything....
In retrospect, that was SUPER fail... How did we even put up with that?? Looking back, that is the most broken mechanic ever... Want to sell stuff? Go to YG and update your bazaar list... SMH

There were good times... the first time we 15 manned Uraeus or Dodore....
Getting a Vintage Hauby was baus

Back in my day... a +3 crab bow (That's right... +3) did more damage than ANYTHING else on the server....

Back in my day... food didn't matter and potions barely existed

Back in my day people thought there was a recipe for the Vintage Jester's cap

Back in my day a pugilist could wear a barbut and mitt gauntlets

[YuriSan]

Back in my day we had crafting support and people thought
that the synths would get easier if they used them, even if the synths they
where doing required no support at all!

[Jinrya-Geki]

Back in my days we had conal AOE and could toggle AOE on or off, and could move while casting...

[Arkhana]

Back in the days, healing spells would cost little to no MP and Sacrifice III was the best healing spell of the game.

Also, back in the days, as a low level caster, I would have no MP regen whatsoever, I would have to carefully plan my MP consumption and visit an aetheryte every 10 minutes to replenish my HP/MP pools. At mid-levels I'd have ONE way of regening MP and it was called Syphon MP.

Edit : And Exaltation (THM) and Tranquility (CNJ), 10mins cooldown. (Thanks Rydin )

[crystalfire808]

Oh, stamina and fatigue. XD

[Colino]

Remember EFT parties?

250SP a kill that was the shit. I remember being elated for getting 10k SP an hour.
