FFXI for Dummies - My dealings with N00bs, Dorks & Dipsh*ts.

[Ithaqua]

Why should i bother spell check something when its one to four AM in the morning maybe i don't want to bother its not like you have anything on me to make me feel bad. And who cares if you make fun of nubs or however you wish to call it. What some one said earlier "Your an ass" i end my statement and why flame me about my grammar. Go on AIM or what ever shit you want no one CARES its not like your my english teacher end comment.

Edit: [q]First off, being lvl 40+ does not mean they lose their sense of humour once they get past lvl 39 nor does it mean that you've met every lvl 40+ out there. I know a good number of lvl 40 (and 50 and 60 etc) who ask me to do "the Taru dance" as well as knowing a good number of lvl 40+ Tarus that do it themselves.

Second, I never called you a liar and said that you weren't a higher lvl. I said how do I know its not something you are just saying?[/q]

Please just drop this its misconsepted( SP ? ).

And the only purpose here is its not right to make fun of newbs nubs w/e. I was 52 and died to bees from aggroing because i didnt know bees in crawlers nest aggros? So this makes me a newb? How could you know a walking bird is going to get aggresive when you first start ( Yagudo. ) ??? Sure it "could" be obvious, but any one can call some one a newb for a stupid misconseption. If i asked you what kirins osode is and you didn't know does that make you a newb? I have played with newbs who are shitty at pulling and dont know what aggros but are damn good when it comes to making money or in game combat not pulling. I don't want a flame war simply to put this you are an ass who shouldn't make a journal about this. Good Bye and please don't yell at my grammar it isnt my first language you faggot.

edit2( wow ): Like gestahr said, what the hell does job lvl have to do with anything? Maybe I should stop pl'ing people or helping people with Rank quests and stop having a life outside the game.

Yes i do this too and the only reason i stated level before is just to prove since you said i could be this and bla it has nothing to do more than to give proof. You ramble on too much. If you read i already said sorry about the panic part i just "assumed" something wrong 20k is a lot at that level and i commend to you. I think im done now /sigh.

[Nahimana]

Meh, I only read part of your post as I just don't feel up to decoding your English.

Seriously, if English is your 2nd language, then you should slap the crap out of whomever your English teacher is because they did a piss poor job.

You, sir, are beyond stupid. You are an idiot. You continue to post even after I explain to you that you make absolutely NO SENSE and that you have NO IDEA what you are talking about. You simply posted because you had your shorts in a knot about something YOU misunderstood and you continue to fight about the false idea you have. You refuse to shut up and take a look at the whole picture and tenaciously argue a point that is FALSE. I'm done arguing with you. You feel I am an ass because I make fun of stupid people. Fine. You are entitled to your thoughts and feelings. Good day now. Buh-bye. Please exit stage left.

Please stop posting in my journal now, moron.

[Ithaqua]

If you read my whole post and read your own fucking journal carefully there are quotes and you are stupid you continue to flame me saying my english is "that" bad if you can read you can understand what i am saying.

[Darten Balthus]

I actually find reading Ithaqua's posts quite entertaining.

Anyways, I think your journal subject is a really cool idea, Nahi, and you... Hmmm... Were doing a really good job. ^_^

Lookin' forward to seeing your next entry, and good luck against all the stupidity out there!

[dednome]

Funny stuff.

[Ithaqua]

I'm going to assume you called me an idiot Darten. I try. Thank you lol :p

[Nahimana]

Not much to report lately...been sick, then moved to a new house and helping my LS with various tasks.

Although there was a goof in Meri Mountains that was telling me that I could not fight the dragon for the DRG job again since I already unlocked it >.< and then proceeded to call me stupid and retarded *sigh*

Hence he followed us around from Meri to Sandy and then to Ghelsba and wanted to join our pt so he could "help" kill the dragon >.<

This kind of journal I'm not really sure if it should exist. Just from start you can get an obvious feel of why. Even though you are making N00b's the butt of your jokes, the jokes themselves are quite harsh to be doing. Even though some people can be pretty bad and idiotic, the manner and taste in which this thread was made is much worse.

Also seeing the previous posts to this thread, I have to say
Nahimana might want keep her rebuttal in a cleaner manner. I have no second thought in reporting language or actions intended to belittle others on this forum. Same I'd have to say toward Ithaqua, you got pretty close on your posts as well.

I will admit the first one when you explained it more, the joke made more sense. Some of the last comments though I could of done without. The second one is a little tougher to really see as a joke, to me it really is just a counter to the characteristics you claim to be.

With more detail around that situation for your second insult, I could see a possibility that the second player started to "Roleplay" sometime in the middle of it. Ofcourse weather he was Roleplaying or not needs more detail around the situation.

Not to mention I thought you said your focus was around n00b's and not newbies/noobies. However it is very clear on a couple posts that you are also insulting newbies/noobies by your own definition. First and obvious one to come to mind is it seems you calling the player that was chasing Carbuncle thinking it was a monster and not a summons a n00bie.

If a player in W/E Ronfaure made a mistake like that it seems they are most likely a newbie not a n00b and yet you still relay his action in the same distaning manner as you did the n00bie. All that and obvious anger from an opposing post does not make you appear to be a "nice person" it seems quite the opposite.

EDIT:

Re-reviewing the thread again, I have to say the definition of n00b you state seems off from what your actions are showing. It seems a clearer definition would be that anyone that doesn't know as much as another is a n00bie.

So as a curious venture I want to know what stuff you know of the higher levels. I'd love to see what knowledge you have of Dynamis, max number of people, the hourglasses use. How about HNMs, Cursed Armor, Abjuration Sets, Relic Weapons, upgrading relic weapons?

After all if you are not a n00b and yet a more accurate assesment of your definition by your actions would then state you know everything about the game. That is truely the only way you'd know more then anyone else about it right?

:sweat: Ya, sorry about the flaming. It just pisses me off when some one has to make fun of people direct name given or not.

Sixty four players top i think? The relic weapons are special weapons that are upgraded by using dynamis money. Byne Bills etc. etc. etc. Once Relic weapons are fully upgraded they recieve a special weapon skill like the sword is Knights of Round from Final Fantasy Seven. Cursed armor is synthesised from a lot of HNM drops and the scrolls uncurse it at the church. There are Six different sets i believe. There is no Real term for HNM, but i refer to it as a once a day pop with the special exception of certain Notorious Monsters. Kirin drops an osode to all stats and an abrujation. Serket drops venomous claw used for scorpion harness etc. etc. etc.

But sorry again on the flaming when the person hasnt even experienced the annoyingness when you can barley chain with a good PLD at 52 because hes taking so much damage on robber crabs :3

[Garrath]

Yeah, my definition of n00b = someone who harasses others, or otherwise ruins other people's gameplay for their own amusement.

And there are way too many out there. I am just sick of everyone anymore, and it's funny how all the n00bs can never come up with anything better then, "hey, fuck you," when you start to say stuff to them. >.<

What I hate more than anything are people that think they know more than everyone, and even tell you how to play your character, and the damn game in general. People like that are just...how can I say it? Hm, I am gonna have to make a word up for this one... um... scorpomptrilustrant!

Anyway, I love this thread, keep it going. You're funny as hell, Nahi. :D

[Odepa]

Nahi, I do understand your definition on n00b, and I know quite a few of them (I wont post tales because is your thread, not anyone elses). Ignore Siya, just dont answer his/her "vokes". Keep the funny posting, even if you have to change stuff that actually happened.

And btw, before the 1st battle of a ExpPT, I always demand a good luck dance from every taru in the PT.

[Ithaqua]

:D so much love. And you spelled my name wrong so you must not of had read the whole thread

Sorry for the double post. Your third paragraph makes me want to say one thing. Don't party with JP >.>
