The Official Forums II: Out Here Grindin'

So he wants a 100% drop rate on everything. Jesus.

[insert fry "not sure if trolling image"]

I don't know why people are bitching about the Abyssea cap still. I was leveling my THF recently and I got a party in Crawler's Nest. It was synced to something like 33-35. We were getting something crazy like 25k/hour on books alone. Our skills were still gymped so it was pretty much the same result as an Abyssea leech.

The people still bitching will be the same assholes that refuse to alliance or party up in book camps.. i think that makes me more mad than anything i have ever come across in this game.

I'm normally just bemused by the idiocy on the forums - but Rosina or whatever they're called is actually inspiring quite a large wish to be able to disembowl people via their internet connection at the moment with the white knighting for the click and buy crap changes and arguing like crazy things that are completely and utterly wrong (oh you only need to use click and buy if you're paying with crysta lol).

[Dooom]

In order to get exp monsters, players must perform an action on the mob, or a party/alliance member who possesses enmity on the mob.

They tried this. It was called FF14. It didn't work.

Yah, That was pure stupid on their part.

Whats frustrating me is the people who are like "WHY I GOTSTA PAY EXTRA 7$/month With CRYSTA" as if the Extra Crysta Disappears.

you could buy a 10$ then a 5$ and pay for one account with 2.05 left over, and as such in ~6 months time have enough left-overs to pay for 1 month. You don't lose anything it just takes a while to get it back, in the end you pay the same amount, ish...

[Divinius]

Yeah, my complaint with the Crysta system isn't that you have an extra dollar or two tied up in it (really, who cares), but that it apparently isn't automatic. Yes, your account fees will be automatically pulled from your Crysta balance, if you have one, but adding to that balance every month is something you have to do manually, each time (unless I'm missing something).

Granted, if you aren't the type to live month-by-month, you could just slap a years worth of Crysta on to your account, but most people don't really want to (or simply can't afford to) do that.

EDIT: Just realized this post is kinda off-topic, and would have been better placed in the other thread... sorry.

Related but more on topic, yeah, there's a LOT of bitching going on over on the official forums about this new billing system.

[Karbuncle]

I think the entire change is horribly thought out and pointless, But I'm trying to point out there is a less painful (and less shady) way than ClickAndScam.

It requires not having the memory of a goldfish. I iz fooked.

[Karbuncle]

Hoping i can get my brother to take care of it -.-

[Aurara]

I'm probably going to go paypal/crysta way and just buy enough for 3 months then see where i am with school/if i get banned.

[Aksannyi]

That brings up an interesting point, crysta is non-refundable I bet, imagine the QQs when people get banned with a year's worth of that shit on their account.

I've done it that way, slightly less of a headache in my opinion.

which is why i'm just going to do 3 months, because its simply easier and you have no idea when/if you get banned/decide to quit.

[Aksannyi]

Yeah well a lot of people aren't that smart or don't have any forethought.

Then again, SE randomly bans people for doing absolutely nothing wrong on a fairly regular basis so people who think "I never do anything wrong I'm fine" and then get banned anyway will be worth a lot of lulz. I'm lazy as fuck, I know I'd wait til my account got deactivated before putting more on there. Lol.

Yeah, I just have to unlazy and get the CC on paypal and do the crysta crap, then during school i can put money on it from my checking account every 3 months(since its gonna be on my mom's CC for now)

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Is this like the Token where we have a choice or are we forced to do this? Cause I'd rather just keep shit the way it is.

[Gokulo]

You're forced to do it or you won't be able to play after September.

[Karbuncle]

its forced.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Fucking gay

[Mrbeansman]

Do people not understand what this means to some people. This may inconvenience a great many but at the same time a lot people have had a ton of doors opened to them as far as being able to play this game is concerned. Finally we can give SE money without having to go through the retarded shit that is 3-D secure a system that has blocked my access to the game on 3 separate occasions. Also being able to indirectly pay for a MMO in cash is never a bad thing in my boat. Ask yourself if we could keep our old payment methods but they added in all this new stuff would you not be celebrating?

[GoggleHead]

Isn't the problem that they're not just adding things though? Instead of providing additional options they're shaking things up and inconveniencing everyone with a whole new system.
