What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

Yeah CM's pretty easy, especially once you're at the cannons. Never thought of doing that to SB.


SB itself hardly seems profitable anymore though. I seriously hate the legacy server economies, it says a lot when myself and several others I know on my server have all crafts & gathering at 50 with very good gear and yet we can't make a decent profit to save our lives because the markets are just that awful.


It took less than a day for the new PvP gear to all drop to 1k for HQ... basically selling it at an extreme loss. People have devalued the shit out of everything on Excalibur it's depressing. I'm hoping that housing takes a massive bite out of the excess of gil.

People who are interested in spirit bond usually run CM. I'm never surprised to see somebody in full crafting gear doing nothing but following the group.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

Spirit bonding seems to be alot of people's peeves. I was going to make some HQ accessories for my whm and then overmeld it to the desired stats, but then i thought about spirit bonding and how many runs of WP and AK I'll be doing to acrrue tomes. How many of those runs does it take to typically spirit bond? Do most people spirit bond just accessories and use hi grade armor on those runs? Do most people not spiritbond there? I'd hate to invest alot of money into overmelded accessoreis and then find its best not to use them.

yes i know they changed it with abyssea, I played until 95.

-__- doesn't change the fact the game worked that way for a good 8~9 years. SE screwed up both games by leaving that model (though as i understand it, the recent patch updated older content like limbus and now you can get AF1+2 that's lv99)

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

You clearly never played FFXI after Abyssea came out. The gear progression was as vertical as you could get, and Seekers constantly released new gear that obsoletes the old one.

Contract with XIV which has new gear as more sidegrades than anything else to tweak stats. They really need to switch to a token exchange system like with WoW or SWTOR though (For Example: glove tokwn drops, you go and exchange it for gloves for your class). I swear if any more Monk gear drops in Coil, our Monk is going to end up a pile of ash from the hordes of casters in the FC.

Endlessly grinding NMs while randoms steal your seals and endlessly grinding NMs on a lottery pop?

I meant the horizontal (or w/e you want to call it) progression as opposed to vertical and you damn well know that.

Also with only a chance for the mob to drop the loot, then a chance to get it from others who want it.

Oh, Yea and the arguments that always happened at the end of the loot drops.

As much as I hate to say this.... I liked how wow did their gear progression. Atleast you could run multiple dungeons, and multiple dungeons had one set of gear, rather than one dungeon has one set.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

They're still stalling, even though people have already been doing coil for a while now. It's kinda sad, and this is exactly why I prefer XI's form of gear progression.

Re: What's your pet-peeve in FFXIV: ARR?

Called it. You get one drop from CT per week. If for whatever reason you get stuck with item you didn't roll on, you're fucked.

And that's why you hit pass if you don't want it.

But, they should change the loot rules... Atleast make it so one drop a day. How do they expect people to use the gear to get their subs leveled if they are using that set of loot rules

I haven't had a chance to check out the Crystal Tower. It might be what end-game needs, but I don't think it will be.

Instantly popping into the last boss of WP or AK is fucking awesome, why are you whining Takeli? You get 90 Myth for less than 3 mins of work.

I'm not whining about the point of getting the myth pieces, I'm just tired of WP over and over again.

Duty roulette...

It isn't random, it's WP over and over.

I wonder if it puts you in a group that's using the DF to do WP or close to that.

We use DF to fill a dps slot for a specific content, which means the people using Duty Roulette is still at the mercy of those with a near complete group. Unless you're a tank. Then you can pretty much control the way Duty Roulette works in that case.
