Sorry, but must rant
Anyone else notice the hordes of people in places like Garlaige Citadel and Crawlers Nest that have lvl 1 (besides being inapproriate) subs, all rank 1, have no ls or part of the same ls, and only usually have 1 piece of equip close to their lvl unless they're a mage, then its all 20-

Its quite annoying as I'm trying to take nin up and its currently 42...if the gilsellers keep lvling I'll have to compete with them the whole way up, and since they cover atleast a 15 lvl I don't really feel like waiting for them to out grow it. I just wanna lvl nin, is that so wrong ; ;

Also, in the legit ptys I've been in in the Crawlers Nest, almost all of them have said "I have a pl". And I'm like, what....???? Ok, I can deal with it through Qufim...but...I have Utsu Ni now, and quite frankly, I'm pretty darn good at the whole blink tanking thing. Theres no need for a PL. I'm also too nice for my own good and stay in these ptys anyways, which is my own fault I know. But, a lvl 42-44 pty...pty make up: nin, mnk, drk, drk, blm, rdm. I swear the drk and blm were trying to take hate too. But, since we had a pl, why did and of that silly controling hate matter? -.- These were all rank 6+ players too...it was really quite sad.

So far the best pty I've had was in West Altep Desert, chaining V-IT beetles for really good exp, got 2 lvls, exp was fast, no compition.../hurray for people that know diff exp spots.

So, yeah, sorry bout the rant, just needed to get it out.

The real point is, this happening to anyone else?

Re: Sorry, but must rant
LoL all those crappy looking players with crap for gear, crap for subs, an crap for rank are all gil farmers powering their chars to 75.

power levelers are lame, but why pass up the pt invites, just milk them, an talk to the pl, that you want to do most of the tanking/curing. most will understand........




Nin75, Bst75. Drk61, War61, Rdm40, All other jobs are 37. All 3 starting city missions completed. All Zilart missions completed. All CoP missions completed. TouA completed.

Re: Sorry, but must rant
My dunes party the other day had an RMT WHM. I could tell as soon as he got to camp (level 1 RSE, nothing else, gibberish name). The rest of the party didn't care. So the PLD pulled, and then the WHM used Benediction. I just laughed hysterically and disbanded.

Haha

I think the leader invited her along because there wasn't a single Whm in our level range seeking. It was pretty good experience.

Re: Sorry, but must rant
I have it on good authority that Telal sucks, guys. Totally. Like, a lot. I mean, I thought I knew what suck was. But then I met Telal. And I was like "Wow, this totally opens up a whole new world of suck."

Telal: You suck!

Re: Sorry, but must rant
I like it especially when they're at the entrance to the Aggas area in Boyahda with four of them following one and the sixth pulling in mobs. You're so tempted to wait for the hearder character to change equipment to see four gillsellers run in all directions.

Was waiting for them to start pulling so I could call a GM on them, but apparently they don't pull if someone's near them. The puller (only one moving) kep checking me, so I kept activating my change equip macros. Anything to irritate them.

Re: Sorry, but must rant
There's nothing wrong with having a PL at any level as long as you have a good party that can do their jobs anyway. I have two characters, one of which is a 75 WHM that I keep around on my laptop to help PL my other character while I'm leveling low level jobs. There's not a thing wrong with having a PL to keep chains going, it just helps the exp. Now if you've got a PL and all the people are like "I don't have to do my job now that you have a PL around," then you run into a problem, but it's with the players, not the PL.
