You people are a strange breed, maybe you should stop attempting to breed and let natural selection take its course. I'll accept there's a chance you could possibly meet someone in this game worth dating and can meet them to do so, but when you're on third in-game girl/boyfriend that's just a cry for help.

But Mithra are hot.

Re: Things I've never understood in FFXI

The only thing I have yet to rationalize to some degree in FFXI, is why does the O Lance have Ranged Accuracy on it?



As far as the idle outside of the MH thing, that's more due to their HP being set there then any other functionality. People get warped when afk after a BC or a Dynamis etc will just end up afk there. It can get annoying though, especially in Whitegate.


edited: my brain hurt enough thinking about it I got the wrong lance.

Like Jei does, I like to watch for shouts. I usually will move off to the side if short time, further if I plan to be there for a while. Sometimes I set myself in Lower Jeuno in the corner by the Tenshodo, expand the chat log and do some housework or watch TV. I check back every now and then to see if anyone is doing something I also need.

Sometimes I'll go outside the moghouse in sandy and /sit at the tree 4 steps away nearby to Bazar stuff I just like leaving my character in a picturesk spot ^..^ also sometimes in lower jeubi, but I will get out of the main trafic flow to the right or left a little. (I hate people blocking the entryway).

Sometimes the /say and /shout going on can be amusing to listen to if it isn't someone spamming his teleport service every 30 seconds. (hint If I need a teleport to xp as a melee or tank job I will should [teleport-exc] [can I have it] [please] 3k or whatever the going rate is at the time I will not reward a spammer by /telling him specifically and waiting for him to get back from his curent teleport I'll shout it and get 1st whm to invite me and be on my way)

Edit *opps sorry for the mini rant the same thing shouted every 30 seconds realy bugs me*

Regarding ingame boy/girl relations:I don't get it there is at least a 30% that girl talking to you is a guy so I'ld think it would be easy to resist going for. Then again people use the 1-900 style pay for text chat services which have the same odds so who knows. /shrug

Re: Things I've never understood in FFXI

I only understand the reasoning for a whm to stand right outside the MH in (usually) Lower Jeuno, which is, obviously, listening for tele shouts. I suppose a BLM listening for D2 shouts works all the same tho.

Other than that, I get thoroughly annoyed when there's a crowd of 1,000,000 (not whm or blm) people standing in front of the MH and I have to make my way thru them. :\

And I'd agree with your statement on in-game boy/girlfriends. Like you said, I can accept that fact that maybe you have met someone exceptional and do prefer their company more than that of others... but this isn't the OC Online. If you're "dating" more than one person in small periods of time, I definitely urge you to consider the seriousness of the disclaimer message displayed each and every time you click Play.

Re: Things I've never understood in FFXI

Sometimes I exit mog house and just leave my char there to watch for shouts ^-^;

[Omgwtfbbqkitten]

Why do you idle outside your Mog House?

Wouldn't it make more sense to idle inside you MH? Is it some social thing, like those annoying people in real life standing in a doorway to talk?

Melees and Link Management

Sorry guys, but unless your melee jobs comes with Charm/Leave or Sleep, there's very little you can do. I don't care if you're a level 30 DRG or a 75 WAR/NIN that wants show off how awesome his Spampages:

Let the BLM do his job.
Let the RDM do his job.
Let the BRD do his job.
Let the COR do his job.
Let the BLU do his job.

These guys can sleep stuff, let them do it. We'll save more MP/cards if you let us do this, don't make us waste more MP because you woke up something we slept and its now killing you. Don't be a hero, I don't care if you're RPing - just stop smacking slept links.
