I'd hate to see someone politely offer you job rotation advice, if this is any indication as to how things will go.
Sure time is important in an MMO, but when you play like that all the time it stops being a fun pass time and becomes a job. I grinded my butt off in BDO to keep up with my hardcore PvP guild, then the buggers changed pvp but that is neither here nor there..

I doubt you have read every one of my posts so I will say this. I am not vehemently against someone doing more at all. I use essences if I have them to spare but I am not gonna go out of my way to get them, simple as that. And I am not going to grovel and apologise to someone who feels slighted I have not done so. I have not asked anyone to use essences to speed up my runs.

As for job advice, when I wanted to get better and get that glorious orange dps I went to the balance, read up all the guides etc. When I want to 'try hard' I can. I would love to do more savage but I simply cannot commit to any schedule for such because as said in a previous post, I have work, studies, a high energy dog and an elder to care for. You don't need to tell me that time can be hard to come by. Hence I am not gonna sit in the zone shouting for a cluster farm that usually nobody responds to, I will not spend the gil I am trying to save either. It's not fun for me. I play to have fun. I'm not afking, I'm not doing douchey pulls to cause wipes. I am simply playing to enjoy myself. Not rushing to meet another persons timetable.

So many people in this thread are crying about carrying people like myself, I could clear without them using the essences. I did not ask them to spend their gil or go and farm. If you chose to do something for your own benefit don't cry at me for not doing the same. First and foremost you are using those essences to help yourself, you want the faster run. The fact it is speeding it up for others too is secondary. I am being preached too as if I am so awful for not caring for others time.. as if they are not doing such things for their own benefit, not mine.
