Misery?

Sometimes I wonder why people bother. My pet peeve /moan at the moment is about people moaning or whining or forever feeling hard done by. - Yes I'm contradicting myself by moaning about the moaners, but hopefully I can do it with a bit of brusque style.

half full or half empty? Which kind of person are you?

Things people moan about

1. Not having enough time to endgame, farm, level etc.

We all live lives that use up time. I choose to watch very little in the way of TV and do what I can when I can. SE have introduced so much in last 2-3 yrs that we have no right to moan. Exp is so much easier to get nowadays. Sub dnc if you want to solo and more exp when you kill ep mobs. Campaign is another thing that we can get easy exp from. Never mind the fact that with ToA, FoV and Level synch, levelling a job has never been easier.

Nyzul isle is 30 mins a run. There are always shouts for it.

ZNM is a lot easier to get pops for than Sky ever was. Some good gear from it and good experience for players who haven't wet their feet in endgame up to now.

Assault is 30 mins a run. Some nice stuff to be had there and most are fun and doable.

Limbus, Sky, Sea, Dynamis, Einenenejjjaaar and salvage are all other avenues.

2. Not getting the gear they want.

Who does get everything they want? Nurturing a job was never meant to be an overnight thing. You can be solid at your job without breaking the bank in most cases. Many people have a 'main' job to put extra special effort into.

3. People who moan about people trying to become better at their main job.

How dare people parse results!!! How dare people seek out excellence!!! How dare people be good at their job!!! If people feel insecure about that then tough. I don't give a shit. To be honest I'd far rather be in a lol LS party any day than a 30k /hr party with strangers. But I'm not going to feel guilty about being decent at my job and being able to contribute to high chains and high exp. Give me PUP, PUP, anything anything anything anything any day if it LS.

4. People who moan about not getting drops.

We all suffer bad luck sometimes. I always assume I won't get anything. That way it's all a bonus.

5. People who moan about skilling up due to Level Synch.

Skilling up isn't that hard. I'd say i spent a max of 10 rhrs doing additional skilling up on my last 75 i took up. Some may take more but I'd rather have that than the party system we had before.

6. People who moan about jobs...

Every job can be good for different reasons.

PLD - beef merchant whahay!

SAM - Sexy dd

WAR - shit job.... It the only job that is absolute ... haggis!

COR - Cool hat

RDM - Another cool hat

DRG - I always think of 'Drag Queen' when I think of this

SMN - Has it's very own cuddly toys

PUP - I want to do a PUP burn some day

BLU - Janko - need I say more

BRD - The I-pod of the FFXI gaming world

RNG - bird death

MNK - Wail away to your heart's content

DRK - Goth

WHM - Samaratins of the game

SCH - My rl job kinda

NIN - A boxer rather than a slugger - full of win

BST - Seigfried and Roy of the game

Come on folks, we playing the coolest game in the world. A game that if you do something it MATTERS. If you achieve something it MATTERS. Characters that you can care about; a community that is strong and stable. If you are lucky to be a part of a LS filled with skilled nice people then it turns it from a game to a place to meet friends. I'm in a LS just like that and feel priveliged to be part of it and this game...
