Man, I bet you could finish an Empyrean in the same amount of time it takes to document all this!

I'm actually looking at that Cure Staff path with mild horror at myself for considering it…

That's really cool Areya, where'd you find this!!!

Haha, I don’t know what you’re talking about Zeri.  Dual boxing can be a nightmare, as soon as I allot more than 10% of my attention to Fzi I’m going to start sucking at w/e else I’m doing.  It’s fine if I’m just worrying about curing and hasting myself but once bitches start whining about paralyna or something I usually start face tanking on the mithra and miss procs and party chat etc.  Fzi will always be a supplement to my mains so I won’t lot on him or go out of my way to develop him (usually), I’ll rarely do the focus on healing thing like Noogies either since I play to play my mains.  Not to say that I won’t if the situation calls for it but it’s not something I set out to do.

Kyuuketsuki sighting!!  *shackles to POL*  praygamenao!!!

Did you know there's a KYULU in the linkshell now that dares to go by Kyu??

Haha, there's no need to rail him for the way he types.  So long as it gets the message across.

The cape is the best DD and WS piece available for all the jobs that can use it, hence the contention.  And while Ken does need plenty of Orthus, I don't think it's going to get the same kind of attention Apademak and Isgebind will in the near future.  (I do have 2 Orthus pops though if we want to do those sometime).

Anyway, Green's admitted to a couple slips in judgement.  I think we agree that so long as we all exercise a little discretion when lotting there shouldn't be any problems.  If people have issues with the amount of work someone's put into a run, they should address that.  Scapegoating something like multiple characters is just going to confuse the point.

I'm grumpy, but I'm tired of hearing about this conflict so my two cents are going to come in a bit curt:

I see no issue with lotting on multiple characters so long as they aren't going toward the creation of a duplicate item.  Like in your example of creating WHM AF two times (which you aren't doing), or in the instance where you got two Atheling Mantles, which is clearly in the wrong.  Like you say your lotting items for Greenwood's WHM BRD WAR; Tabby's THF RNG RDM DRK; Myric's NIN is no different than someone else who has all those jobs leveled on one character lotting.  I'm really tired of hearing otherwise.

I think the real issue is situations like your #1 above.  A lot of time and energy can go into generating pop sets and when someone hops onto the tail end of an expedition after all the KIs are collected they really shouldn't expect to lot.  If you can't set aside a chunk of time to contribute to an Abyssea run then you shouldn't lot on the contested items.

I'd help... if I came back! Though I'm still not so sure with all the work of getting jobs from 75/80 to cap...

And the work of finishing Maat's cap because I was close and it would LOOM over me until I finished.

And all the abyssea stuff that I never touched...  I dunno, it's a bit overwhelming!

*Looms over Ketsuki*

COME BACK!   

 Should come back!!!  All the cool kids are doing it! 

GEM IN EYE!

Beautiful jewel capturing my sight!

It all finally makes sense!?

Wut wut hi!!!

And...  Did Rey just suggest that we're all made out of cookies?!  God forbid the massacre that would ensue...

WTF!

Peanut buuuuutttteerrrrr fiiiiiiilled??

Haha, yeah the Lucky shell is
pretty empty these days.  Something to do with nobody recruiting I'm sure :p  We're all in a shell called Diamond Adventurer, though we're all still registered in Lucky so you should see us!  I'm on pretty frequently, gimme a tell and I can get you a pearl!

Haha, I might swing back around and see what's going on.  I'm still mostly 75s with one 80 though w00t!  Not enough time in the day for 2 MMOs! 

Let's do stuff that drops Tantra items!

Oi!

Sorry I missed this, woulda pitched in.  Thanks for the hosting Fzi and thanks for the donation Zeri!

Party shots!

Yeah, there's definitely a lot of frustrating aspects to the game, and SE without a doubt rushed this out the door way before it was ready.  But I'm still having a bunch of fun playing.  My biggest concern is that, like you say, the fanbase is going to be turned away because of all the problems, and that'll cause irreparable damage.

I've been meaning to throw some stuff up in here but Rave's a little camera shy and I've had trouble getting her to cooperate!



Anyway, here are some random shots I took:


Ishgard!  I think...


Limsa Lominsa, if you haven't seen enough of it already haha >_>;


The oh so controversial market wards, there's like 20 of these zones per city that you have to wade through to buy stuff.


Leve counter, where you pick up most of your quests.  Also the dastardly <t> continues to haunt us even in our fourteenth incarnation!

BATTLE SHOTS!








Then I stalked Fae (Kageneko) for MORE BATTLE SHOTS!






Here's a pretty lake near Gridania!


Aaaaand for good measure:



Kekeke 

Sup Fury,

Moved your topic because Help Desk posts are showing up on the front page for some reason...  As far as your question Iunno cause I'm not playing too much myself either!
