It's not really my thing, personally, but I've known some folks who were into it.

I went to college to study Religion and practice to become a Minister.

I currently work in a highly stressful Operations Control position in one of the nations largest airports. (dont ask me how I wound up working here in relation to what I studied in college...)

I mentor special needs kids in the city.

I helped run a Youthe Leadership program out of the YMCA for years.

I run a LS in which I openly welcome brand new, needy, clingy players with an abundance of questions.

... and I do it all with a smile.

It's hard to make me

... then here's my best shot. And I'm only gonna do it once cuz the mods might lay the smack down upon me.

Ready?

Okay... here we go.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Going back a bit to what Cid was talking about, and also thinking back on my time as a RDM, I'm honestly really bothered by the "Just go solo it!" mentality. This game is, at least ostensibly, a social one. You should, but do not necessary have to, team up to do shit. In the past this was pretty much required, and I can't say I'm sorry to see that aspect of things change. But maybe I don't want to do EVERY SINGLE THING by myself. Maybe, just for fun, I'd like to do things with other people, regularly, and in a way that builds some sort of sense of teamwork.

I was toying around with the idea of doing a static exp trio or full party, but when talking about it with others, the response I got was "Why? You can just solo to the cap, so why bother?"

FOR FUN. GOD.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I'll join that static.

I need:
WAR 15-49
RNG 17-49
BRD 1-49
WHM 78-90

Lemme know what you need me as job-wise... and when you want to run this thing.

Just because you can solo doesn't mean you should. Heck, not everyone is even up to the challenge of soloing stuff. Maybe I don't want to have to figure out how to solo entire events because it makes a hell of a lot more sense to do it with a group, even a small one.

On the other side of the coin is the problem of being that guy who gathers up a group and then goes "Ok, now who here knows what they're doing because I sure don't since this is my first time doing this thing". I don't want to be that guy. Ever.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I got the "just go solo it" shit a lot with NMs and even HNMs. Just because some well-geared and experienced RDM can solo Genbu and Charby and shit like that doesn't mean that I WANT TO, or even that I should be. That's a personal decision to make for myself if I want a specific challenge. The challenge I more often was taking on was just getting people together to do shit.

EDIT: And along with that is "Don't worry about mission/quest right now. Just wait until 90 and solo it, or have a friend who is 90 solo it." AGAIN, If I wanted to do without this item or mission reward until 90 I would obviously just do that. But that seems pretty freaking lame to me.

@Yyg - I'll talk it over with some more folks and see what I can put together.

Charby

That reminds me. I want that ToD so we can start collecting those for the LS. It's such a versitile sword... so many jobs can use it.

I've watched videos of NIN who were worse geared than me soloing it at 90... so I have no problem showing up daily to lay a smack-down on that sucker if enough people are interested.

Meh, just go solo it.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I can't use it on BLU, but I'd still like it for future other jobs (WAR, PLD, maybe RDM).
