SE and their insanity

Simply put, this game is literally impossible to advance in for casual players, unless you have high-level-help at your beck and call.

If by casual you mean have limited playtime, then yeah this game really isn't for them without linkshell help.

Or if you mean having to spend as much time & effort as those who play long sessions and/or are simply more dedicated, well yeah they're not going to advance (as fast).

Even then, I may play long sessions but I still wouldn't camp Argus. I know better ways to make money.

I have very limited play time. I still find the time to lvl and I've been playing this game almost 3 years. It's all a matter of perspective. If you have limited time then you have to have infinite patience. LOL As long as you can put up with doing things slowly, you won't have a problem. But if your one of those "I gotta be uber fast!" people with limited time, then FFXI is absolutely not for you.

Yeah I have been playing for a while as well (1.5 years) and I admit it take time to do things, but when it takes you a while to do something, the reward is much better, and you feel like you have acualy acomplished something.

So who's the necromancer who raised this undead thread from the grave? ;/

Just to take to task a comment near the start of the thread "yet we all still play"; do they? How many people do you know who've played the game and have left.

Imagine all the people that you don't know and have left, because they were way below you in level; you never had contact with them, and they quit early.

Yeah... look outside the box to better percieve the full truth of the situation.
