The Official Forums II: Out Here Grindin'

[aduidarnenye]

In essence, he's saying that a person's $12.95/month merely gives them the opportunity to log into the game. In order to actually play and enjoy the game, Starcade absolutely insists a player must to engage in a list of activities that he deems immoral in order to be social acceptable to others in-game and to be able to enjoy the game's content. He blames everyone but himself for his failure to integrate into FFXI's in-game culture and to simply enjoy playing the game.

Since not everyone will play FFXI on his terms, he flipped out and started his crazy campaign. It's the pattern that's stretched across his entire adulthood. Right now it's FFXI, but it's been Debbie Gibson or that Wizards of the Coast thing in the past. His crazy little mind will eventually fixate on something new.

Starcade insists that players must do the following for others to accept them and to enjoy the game's content: troll others, grief others, use 3rd party programs, out-compete everyone and monopolize all content everywhere in the game at once, and engage in RMT activities. I am exaggerating a little bit, but since Starcade's batshit insane, I didn't have much room to exaggerate. His broken little mind fights against these so-called atrocities because he believes that FFXI will be more pure and more enjoyable once these activities are expelled from the game.

It never crossed his mind that all that's really needed to enjoy the game is a relatively normal personality. People shy away from batshit insane individuals like Starcade.

You speak Starcadlish! I'm impressed. Or worried about you. Haven't decided which yet really.

He's a right nutter, isn't he?

I'm a (relatively) normal, rational, and nice person, I swear!

As for Starcade, yeah, the guy's insane. He seems utterly incapable of coming to terms with any kind of impurity or impropriety in anyone or anything he wants to enjoy. That's just my impression -- I'm no expert by any means.

As a neuroscientist, my professional opinion on this case is that a complex mix of social factors and genetic predispositions have created a high concentration of "mad" in the person/player known as "Starcade."

I see you stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

I did a few of these without macros when I had my Taru. I would start casting when the melees' TP was around 70-80. Would shock the hell out of people, that felt good.

[Vandalhart]

Someone should post a link to how to set up a private server on Starcade's Blog.

Apparently that's the only way he'll get any enjoyment out of the game. Because, you know, all those other cheaters won't be there ruining it for him.

[Aksannyi]

Yeah, but he'd be cheating just by logging into it.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Thank you god, Kingfury made another Thread about something. I get worried when he doesn't have a new idea every fucking day.

[Aksannyi]

And a new sig to boot, amirite?

[Cail]

What type of sheer genius has that amazing mind of his concocted now?

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Yep, a creepy ass Mithra with Hooker lips.

[Aksannyi]

I wonder what goes through his mind.

OMG I HAVE TO MAKE SURE TO SHOW SQUARE ENIX ALL OF MY AMAZING ART. I KNOW! I'LL MAKE A DOZEN SIGS AND CHANGE THEM OUT WEEKLY, THEN SE CAN SEE HOW AWESOME I AM /STAGGER /FELLATE /EGO

[Deader2818]

I really get the feeling he just comes up with simple, retarded ideas so he has an area to show off his art work.

Seriously, this new idea is stupid. He wants it so you can label chests in abyssea so other people in your ally/party can see whats inside it without having to check it,

[Aksannyi]

No topic with Kingfury is ever open for discussion.

Lol truth.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

But you have to check the chest to turn on the option for others to see the chest or w/e. lol

This is a troll, right? Right?

Oh god...*cries*

[Dooom]

Yep, a creepy ass Mithra with Hooker lips.

This new sig is fucking horrible. It's almost enough to make me stop liking Mithra

Really dont see the problem is. They are a newer player and are actually wanting advice on what they should be using.

[GoggleHead]

They say they read lots of forums but apparently don't know how to gear themselves. Nine years of forums to dig through and they don't know how to gear themselves?

[Shirai]

That sig is just terrible and should be reported for being offensive

@Above about the gearing,

I agree, most forums have "Gear guides" as fucking sticky, and although most of them are outdated because their respective forums are dead there's still enough info in them to get at least a grasp in what to wear post 75.
