Pet peeve: Emergency server maintenance right before we were about to start my first merit party. (I'd been {Taking a break.} from RDM). WHY DO YOU HATE ME, S/E?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

The absolute noobish noobism in Qufim and Crawlers Nest.

When I leveled RDM thought there it wasnt so bad.

Returned to Qufim for DRK and WAR...and jesus christ I kid you not, every single invite I have had...well, just imagine naked summoners (Im Hume I dont need +MP Gear), 4 level gaps, etc...)

Im so glad I have a char to borrow to PL myself.

Crawlers Nest...well. Same stuff!! I mean this used to be Valkrum type stuff, and I havent been in these areas for quite some time, now I have returned its like it has all gone to pot!

Or maybe I simply didnt noticed last time round becuase I was "one of them". Lol.

Let's not even talk about what it's like in Valkurm. I swear, it's even worse than it was a year ago. I didn't even last five minutes in a party. The chatter, my god. The AFKs! Three AFKs in five minutes from two different people! Then we take forever to kill a mob, and the leader goes "All right, 150 exp!"

See if you'd come to Kujata, you could find some people to duo/trio with and just skip the Dunes.

I'm just saying, personally I'm going to try skipping the dunes on BLU since I think I'm going to have no choice but to go there leveling BRD.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

It was a moment of weakness. I've gone back to soloing in Carpenter's Landing.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Damnit man, I need some people so I don't have to go to the dunes as brd ...

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I can't switch servers until I finish NIN anyway. I'm borrowing Kirst's Leapers and Emp. Pin. Otherwise I'd already be on another server. I'm so lonely.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I've been leveling BLU the last week, I've not felt any pain from doing Dunes while I've been there. Well, not as much as usual. But then we are talking about a job that seeks abuse to learn spells, so maybe I'm just numb this week.

One group I end up getting had a PL, which is pretty standard because people are too chicken to go without one. I no longer press the issue, I just shut up and let it happen because someone will always bring a PL to the dunes, thinking it makes things easier. It really doesn't, but I let them have thier insurance anyway.

But a guy in the PT next to us had to take issue with us having a PL and started talking shit in /say, calling us "gimps" and whatnot. Whatever. When some members of my PT snap back at him, he calls a GM. Right after he files this report (aka wasting the GM's time), said moron diagas a crab in his camp, linking a pair of leeches and has to zone. We all chuckle, its pretty clear who's off balance here.

He comes back and keeps trash talking, but starts acting all erudite and is pulling words out of dictionary on his lap to sound smart. Now, at this point, I still hadn't said anything. In fact, I told my PT members to ignore him and just EXP. Well, I just had to say something at this point.

"OK, you START the argument, call a GM on us and now you're trying to take the moral high ground and expand your vocabulary?

Sorry, it doesn't work that way."

I said nothing more to him than that, but after I did, he ran out of clever things to say and got quiet. It is probably pretty hard to come up with a retort to that when someone named Omgwtfbbqkitten is using proper grammar and sentence structure. He actually did use the word "retort" at some point, which, I'm sorry, is not a word a shit-talker is allowed to use.

That aside:

To LOLers - Saying "lolOmgwtfbbqkitten"... its just not funny. Don't try. You're not mocking me at this point, only yourself. I can lolyou, but its pretty hard to lolomgwtfbbqkitten and have it flow the same way. I'm lol-proof. Once you've gone beyond two or three syllables after the "lol" you're just making yourself look stupid.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Just recently from early this morning: IMPS!

This was my first Caedarva Mire group (Lv67-69) experience healing against them, and it was er, interesting...They have:

Deafening Tantara-AoE Silence
Abrasive Tanata-AoE Amnesia
Frentic Rip-Triple Attack
Elemental Enfeebles
AoE Elemental Spells(Thundaga, Firaga, Poisonga II)
Blaze Spikes
*think that's it*

Add in the fact that Imps just don't use these moves...oh no, they can spam them it seems at times. Add in the fact that everyone in my front line either had MP or ninjitsu to cast, silena and divine veil were being abused.

Erase, Curaga, Poisona were also under overhaul because from what I saw, they are nearly impossible to stick Silence on, and that was with a Red Mage. Mind you, I haven't exp'd my WHM in quite a bit, so after the first hour or so, being that busy actually was pretty fun! But Imps are still annoying though

The Imps I found most frustrating aren't the ones who spam TP moves. It's the ones who use them with surgically precise timing. They somehow know exactly when my amnesia wears off, and do Abrasive Tantra immediately.

I'm sitting there with 100+ TP and Berserk and Aggressor ready to activate. The 1 to 2 second window I'm left with just isn't enough time to use to use Aggressor AND Berserk AND Rampage. Sooo frustrating.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I rarely had problems landing Silence on Imps. As said, the TP moves are much worse then their spells.

[hongman]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Imps are annoying as hell but not too bad after 72ish when u can land Silence 90%+. Cake at 75.

A silenced Imp is easy xp!

[Aksannyi]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Yeah at 67-69 it's tough to land Silence on them but past that, it's easy and it goes much smoother. I used to have Elemental Seal in my Silence macro for this, it only came up every 10 minutes but it was nice to have when it was up. They still Silence you and Amnesia you, but that's workable. Most people going to a Caedarva camp bring echos now anyway.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

This just added to my list: People who don't show up to a mission static with no kind of notice, and then get mad that they're behind. Yes a static is a group that shouldn't work without each other, that's basically the point of it. However, when everyone else shows up when they're supposed to, and you don't, and don't bother to send a PM/XBL notice saying you won't be on, don't be mad that the other 5 people didn't want to wait an extra week to finish the mission.

[KingOfZeal]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

People who have statics for everything. City Missions, Assaults, CoP Missions, Zilart Missions, Parties, NM hunts, HNM hunts... you name it, they have a static for it.


I can't get into ANY kind of static. The people who get into every one under the sun just piss me off.
