Late night getting one more than soil 3 before bed. This little bastard http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/1598001/ aggros the coblins that spawn in that area (while he's on Miner) and the AOE proceeds to interrupt 5 or 6 of us during the gathering process.
I want my dirt, 12ice clusters, and 20min of sleep you little bastard!!!
haha wow that's something else right there.
Oh dear god it's on Leviathan. I thought the name sounded familiar.
Sounds like a pretty nice invitation for some full-scale trolling right there
As someone who wasted a ton of time leveling and actively using FSH, I completely understand their viewpoint. It's not so much the drops that matter; it's the experience itself that holds the real value.
After insanely long days working and looking after my family, I grew to appreciate small pleasures like gathering/fishing in the more lovely parts of the game while listening to podcasts or chill, downtempo music. I also understand that others nearby, especially those who can make better use of the area's mobs, can find this unbelievably frustrating. It's a collision between two completely incompatible motivations.
Extrapolate this little, insignificant exchange into the real world, and all sorts of parallels become apparent.
Although, to be topical, I suppose my fail is reading far too much into this.
Screw those spiritbond parties. A few times now I'm off solo-spiritbonding in urth's gift and group comes barreling in and steals the site.
This is why you use the Sahagin T3 daily boat and never finish boat objective. Slightly worse (lv49 mobs) but nobody ever goes there.
It sounds like something his therapist recommended. Being one myself I can see it.
I understand the whole metagaming 'muh efficiency' mindset, sure, but that doesn't mean the lady's wrong for wanting to do something that relaxes them. Obviously the most cooperative thing would've been for her to find her to go to whatever her second favorite is, but sometimes you're only in the mood for a specific thing. Hell, I even agree that Urth's Gift is a pretty damn relaxing place, it gives me a bit of a nostalgia rush for Macalania Woods.
There are plenty of as-good-if-not-better SB spots that I've discovered myself while dicking around and avoiding the Urth's Gift rush.
Honestly, if you're still SBing at Urth's Gift instead of finding a place where killing everything gives you mats you might use / sell and dual purpose it you're pretty fucking daft.
I think part of finding a relaxing activity is finding a place where you're not likely going to run into other people to compete with. Dude was claiming mobs and having Titan hold them just so we wouldn't have claim. How could that possibly be relaxing? Go take up yoga or something.
Bonding i45+ crafting gear on other mobs to acquire mats... I've done that before, I find it too slow for getting multiple sets of gear spiritbonded. I was bonding to make materia to do melds, not sell for gil. Sheep and raptors are too low-leveled, hippos are too spread out for my taste and boars... people are often farming them or running through the area and aggroing stuff. Money is not hard to come by, if I need to make some, I'll do that.
Gonna try out that Sahagin-ship-quest trick, though!
So, I had a rather...uh...interesting day as far as drama goes.
First drama:
Second: the idiot debate. Spoilered for longer than longcat ever was.
Spoiler: show

random fail: thinking i was going to finish that
