It's time for crafter level boosts

[Awha]

I wonder if they parse higher or lower than MPK?
Whatcha say MPK, does WoW beat you in the logs? Or have you got him whipped?

Which of you is the more elite of the two?

Yes, we need to know this info. Who is the better player?

That's awfully big talk coming from someone who probably hasn't done any of these things.

Argumentum ad ignorantiam.

WoW is a pioneer in the field of raiding. They do not just define the meta they are the meta. His clears are legendary or so I have been told. My causal eyes cannot comprehend their logs.

Do not lose hope. For one day you too may gain the insight to see my logs. Just as how mother kos did for the vacuous Rom, you too may be granted eyes!

Of course you won't meet respected raiders like us. We don't indulge in illegal RP nor visit their venues rofl. So you're already judging from a bad sample. Talk to me again once you start doing actual game content like savage and ultimate.

Nice try and nice bait.

Considering how gross Orphan of Kos is (in the entry sequence atleast) I‘m not sure if her giving me eyes is better than staying blind.

Hey, haven't looked into this thread in a while, wonder how it's going.

:::reads the last three pages:::

Yep, about what I expected.

I boosted my CUL from like 20 to 71 from just really cheap levequest turn ins, All pretty much in less than a day. The gil it cost me, was refunded by basic roulettes I did that day.
I dont think its really needed.

I boosted my CUL...

With this meaning what it does in French, I always giggle as I think of people boosting their butts!

Something something 2B pants.

Yeah that is not a healthy mentality and it is the dominant one in WoW, such people who obsess over ‘things necessary to succeed’ end up becoming miserable, negative, hating the things they are ’’’’’forced’’’’’’ to do which turns them into even more toxic tryhards that can get mad at people not forcing themselves into things they don’t enjoy because ‘omg you haven’t done x so you are only 95.2% optimal!! Scrub!!’

It is a video game, you are meant to have fun in it, the grinds and many types of content some hate I enjoy which is why I like mmorpgs over most other games but then you have the hyper optimization people who only raid log and choose to whine about how they are forced to play the rest of the game.

Thankfully Ff14 devs don’t treat raiders as a protected class so I know they won’t gut all forms of content and rewards like the WoW devs did recently so their protected class doesn’t feel ‘forced’ to do anything other than raid log but that mentality only leads to ruin for the player and the community.

What I am saying is that this mentality is unhealthy, it makes people miserable(but since their ego depends on clearing elite content they can’t just quit and play something fun) and more importantly if the devs ever pander to it the game is gutted for all other players.

A raider here isn't forced to delve into crafting to get things they need for raiding. They can farm up gil instead and buy from crafters. If they don't want to do that, then they level their crafters up like anyone else has to for things they want or need. This keeps the market healthy, unlike other games where crafting is not just side content but has also had its economy completely destroyed. The suggestion here by the OP, troll thread or not, is they want to get the benefits of crafting for their raiding because they only like raiding. They don't care that they would destroy the crafting economy with this suggestion because only raiding and things that support raiding are important. *That* is what's unhealthy.

I think you didn't read the rest of my post if you somehow thought that was advocating for raiding above all. What I said was that anything except MSQ is side content with its own requirements. Players either agree to those requirements and progress through the content, or choose not to and don't progress. Some folks don't have a single Triple Triad card. There are requirements to taking part in that, but they've decided it's not for them. Some people like to do the sightseeing logs or achievement hunt. Those also have their own specific requirements. The nice thing about a theme park MMO like XIV is that outside of the MSQ, we can pick and choose what we want to take part in. We just don't get shortcuts with it because it's not our preferred content. Everyone has the same requirements for the optional content.
