I definitely do that. I have my gear planned out for all my jobs all the way to AF at least.

I have it worse... All the way through the 70s.

Re: Weird Habits

For some reason, I always auto-sort my inventory frequently. Even just minutes after I've auto-sorted, and I have nothing new, I still auto-sort it.

I also suffer from the camera adjustment.

Re: Weird Habits

I rest before eating my wizzard cookie >.< and have to stand back up.. eat it then rest again.

I auto-sort alot.

I type ">.<" alot.

And I all ways put to "I"'s when I type in FFXI, like: Iits, or Ii, No idea why I do this...

I use <4 instead of .

I /poke all my friends.

I say "{Word Up} {Home Key}s" in place of Hello.

I do "/sea all shroudy" to talk to him instead of "/t shroudy".

Thats about all my wired things....

>_>a

Weird things I do... I don't ever sell or throw away gifts. As such, I have one of my mules storing about two stacks of roses that were given to me. Not to mention various equipment people have given me over the years.

I always use the same port and upper jeuno AH's. I always use the same delivery box - girl from port san when I'm there. I always go anon when I'm on SMN/BLM to warp. (I don't want people to go "/sea all smn 75... Oh hey, this SMN has BLM subbed, that must mean it's an okay sub!" As crazy as that is.)

I plan gear out way in advance too. WAY in advance. I've had a gluttony sword since about level 35 PLD, and that was over a year ago...I still have no jobs capable of using it. I have my MNK gear planned all the way to 75... I've looked at THF gear all the way from 38 to 75 to plan that out, as well as bugging a few friends about how good certain high level daggers are. I have some gear in mind for WAR and SAM too, but I've mostly been too busy crafting/fishing to look at the AH much.

Re: Weird Habits

I tend to the camera thing when i am crafting.

Usually my cookie wears right after I rest. :/

I do this too! I wish I knew why.

I have it all in an Excel spreadsheet. It's so sad. :/

Re: Weird Habits

i have a collection of weapons for jobs that i plan on leveling at somepoint.... even if it's not going to be for months and the weapon cost like 500 gil...

for instance at the moment i am....

43rdm
24blm
23drg
15war
12whm
10cor
10brd
8smn
2sam
6bst
and lvl 1 everything else

i have weapons for...
43ish sword
30 sword (for level capped)
20 dagger (platoon)
7 dagger (beestinger)
bronze dagger
lvl one fists
lvl 12 hammer
lvl 1 Gkatana
lvl 1 Gsword (admittedly the one for unlocking drk.)
lvl 12 and 16 Gaxe
bronze axe
various staffs and clubs for mage jobs (seriously i have about 8-9 only 2 of which get used with any regularity)

some stuff has never been used, but has been obtained and i don't want to chuck/sell it cause i'd only have to go buy it again when i do eventually decide to go level mnk (or whatever). It's stupid. I have enough cash so that i don't need to hold on to bronze stuff for any reason, but i still do... my MH is packed to the rafters and my delivery box is full to bursting, so why can't i throw away those level 1 claws and my pointless misery staff...

Re: Weird Habits

I still have, and will probably never sell, the first "expensive" item I bought: Republic Knuckles. MNK was my starting job, and the first to 20, and I haven't leveled it since. I used them on THF when I was leveling that, but that's been quite a while, too.

I do the camera spinning thing, too. I also constantly try to "outrun" my chocobo with the camera, to try and get past a side-view. I run into things a lot.

I almost always exit my MH to Lower Jeuno, even if I know I need to go somewhere else. I'll sit there thinking about where I need to go, determine that Port Jeuno is the best exit, hover the pointer on Port Jeuno for a while, and then go to Lower anyway.

I painstakingly auto-translate things that would take me a few seconds to type in English, even when I know there are no Japanese players in the party. Not everything, just... sometimes, for no good reason, I have to auto-translate.

If there are people shouting for different teleports, I'll pick up any other teleport before Holla. (La Theine takes forever to load for me, and I get panicky about being able to type (Thank you.) in time.)

Re: Weird Habits

I also suffer from the auto-sort and camera movement habits. ^_^

I have a thing for killing bombs. I hate bombs. Either that, or I love killing them. If I see a bomb, I have to kill it. You don't know how many times I've died because I just HAD to attempt to kill a bomb. This only occurs when I am solo, though. If I'm in Garlaige helping someone with gate breach, I don't try to kill the switch bombs. I can't let my habit affect others. Killing Dark Spark was such release. I probably should play DRK.

I don't like to wait long to get somewhere. If I'm going from Jeuno to Bastok, I don't wait for the Airship. I look to see which region around Jeuno is controlled by Bastok and I step into that zone, use my Homing/Return Ring, and Outpost Warp home. If no Jeuno areas are controlled by Bastok, I do my Altep - Korroloka Tunnel - Escape trick. There's also Teleport-whatever - Homing Ring - Outpost Warp, too.

Re: Weird Habits

When its crowded I try to target a person who has initiated a trade with me before I trade with them, even when I know I can just target myself with 1 joystick up action and click trade.

I can't stand being too close to another player when meleeing, I feel all uncomfortable when I have to be SATA'd onto.

Sorry to interrupt, but in case you don't know, you don't have to target yourself either if they've initiated the trade. You can hit trade from the main menu (not that it's easier that way, just, y'know, completeness of information).

Re: Weird Habits

I auto-sort frequently, but I don't think that's a weird habit - I've seen "You do not meet the requirements to obtain the <insert expensive item here>. The <item> was lost." one too many times.

I just fiddle with the camera. Tap zoom in, zoom out.

Also as a Taru I'm obliged to walk (not run) circles around the other races. Especially Elvaan, for some reason. Must be the ears.


Also the '^^' emoticon that everyone loves to do drives me NUTS.

P.S. Oh oh oh! The most important one:

Does anyone else feel like Konschtat Highlands is... upside down? Like Bastok should be north and Valkurm south? And Gusgen should be on the OTHER side?

Re: Weird Habits

If you like that, get a Scythe as soon as you can. Scythes are fun.

No. Why do you feel that way?

---------------------
I thought of a couple more strange things that I like to do.

I like to /wave to NPCs and in-animate objects.
Haggai waves to Nomad Moogle.
Haggai waves to the Goblin Footprint.
Haggai waves to the Door:Merry Minstrel.

Also, Windurst Woods is fun for me. Whenever I run by Tosh Hohnay, I have to say her name aloud IRL. Everytime I run by Dazi Nosuk, I think to myself, "I bet she doesn't get many dates."
