The Official Forums III: It goes on forever, now.

[Saithorx]

I guess he doesn't understand that regardless of no intended changes by the devs, it's still possible that something doesn't function properly. I don't remember them mentioning the Spell Dia would change in one of their updates, and it started doing 9,999 damage to the undead monsters.

I did however notice that he changed what he meant to say to be...

When I said "there aren't any," I meant "there aren't any new ones."

Got banned again, ends 30th November, possibly perma! Yay. I wonder if I was trying to subcontiously get myself banned to stop me wasting time and brain cells posting there...

[Karbuncle]

I can't get on the OF Right this moment. But for the love of god can someone go to the Second THF knife thread and tell

He should kill himself? his ignorant rambling makes me want to kill a puppy. I haven't hated anyone this much since Rambus

Why do I torture myself by looking at the official forums?

Warping Directly To BCNM Circles

It starts off innocently enough.

Now I know SE does everything in their power to keep us playing this game FOREVER, one of their tactics: putting BCNM circles in far away places to add a time sync. Now I am one of those people who don't like to do BCNM because the main issue I have with them is the time it takes to long to get to them. Another is the terrible drop rates. I could deal with the terrible drop rates if I did not have to walk 10 miles to the circle. It would be nice if they were to let Shami or add an NPC that warps us directly to the BCNM circles even if it was for a fee(like a small amount of cruor or gil) if they wanted to.

"How about something to make our lives a little more convenient?" How silly of him to ask, because the next post very predictably...

They definitely should add this. That way RMT can get to bcnms easier so that they can flood the market with gil items again. Also, they should add a npc to warp you to where NMs pop. But not at anytime. Only right before its about to pop. Lord knows the run to Khim is dangerous. Also since we are letting laziness from real life transcend over into video games, I would like all fight mechanics to be done automatically as chances are high I'm going to win the battle anyways. I won't be as mad when nothing drops if i have to do 0 work.

Yes. The ten-twenty minutes saved by not having to walk to a BC will be all of the time needed for the evil RMT to take over the world. MUH HUH HUH!!!!! *Thunder crashing in the background*

And then we have this gem.

Ever wonder that people can just abuse this to do quick HELM run? If these zones can be instantly reached, yes, it'll greatly benefit a lot of players but it'll also greatly benefits RMTs who can just warp back and unload and then within a min be back at some of the best HELM spots. I'm actually okay'ed if this is something SE wants to do, it'll make many ppl's mule crafting a lot easier for sure (and benefit RMTs at the same time).

A better solution might be: instead of putting these BCNMs in these locations, why not just have most if not all the BCNMs be located within Jeuno similar to the chocobo racing (half of the challenege and fun are some of the BC/KS/KC/HKS-NMs are getting to the battlefields but yeah most are just a pain in the rear time sync).

Oh my god! The evil RMT Horde will be able to get to Palborough Mines and unload their copper and iron ores quicker! Those diabolical fiends! If Lex Luthor came up with plans this brilliant, he would have taken over the world for sure by now.

Can we have a version of Godwin's law about any thread suggesting a convenience on the official forums will eventually lead to a discussion about how it will be abused by RMT or how it cannot be implemented by PS2Limitations?

I haven't even seen an RMT in years.

I would occasionally see a suspicious name with something like "Bah" and then random letters after, but thinking that a large-scale monopolization of NMs and BC drops by Chinese gil-farms is still going on is fairly lol-worthy.

[Kidnoftle]

I was under the impression that they mostly just fish botted while they try and flip currency for 50cents as their personal profit margin.

That's just what the RMT want you to think! MUH HUH HUH!!!!! *Thunder crashing in the background*

If you see any of the 3-5 character names shouting for 50k-100k cleave spots [that usually get around 20k exp per hour,] its a good bet they're RMT. Some of the Brilliant names on my server: Quejj, Queij, Uxy, Uky, etc. Not all shouts, but a majority I'd say.

I'm 100% sure Dova was being completely sarcastic, and most likely imitating the normal posters on that forum. He's a well geared and skilled player [whatever skilled means in an MMO - usually means not a fucktard like the masses of subscribers.]

If that is the case, he should have used the sarcasm tags because he came off like a compete dick in the thread.

Heh, that's Dova. Trolling like a boss.

Warping to BC's? In my Vana'diel? I thought they called that Navbot.

I kid, I kid. My suggestion back in the day was to have Shami/ENM NPC do it for a fee (Since you have to get the orb/quest from them) if you've already been there once. Alternatively, make a quest for it. Beat a fight 10 times, I'll warp you there for free in the future.
Edit: or they could make orbs just EX intead of rare, so that you can spam fights.
It would seriously save so much time in game it wouldn't be funny, and if there's one thing that DevTeam 3.0 doesn't seem to be concerned with it's time saving.

[NynJa]

It would be nice if they adjusted Balgas Dias / Giddeus.
Palborough Mines is a 2 minute run, Ghelsba is a 30 second run...but Giddeus if you dont have escape is a 10 minute run.

LOL . And hes not a troll hes a try hard.Although PJ has been quiet lately maybe hes out getting that great gear vs shitting up the /sh channels.

Thank goodness that is isn't all of the time or the world might implode.

Because making one of the most inconvenient zones in the game more convenient would be an awful, awful thing...

I'm a little surprised that the drop @ H-7/8, on the Diabolos tower level, in Beau (S) isn't mentioned in the thread at all. I think there is one other drop, but it is at a very inconvenient place in the past. If my memory serves me right, it's @ G-9 by a bunch of Imps. Either one or both of those drops would be nice to have in the present zone.

Sometimes I wonder if they aren't back!

I haven't been to the Official Forums in like 2 months and I had honestly forgotten how fucking retarded they are over there. I go back and it's like a retarded punch to the face. Fucking hell.

[Karbuncle]

Its gotten worse really, In our absence the Idiots have come out in mass... No one to control their outbreak.

[InsaniacTHF]

I thought they were getting a little better. Maybe I'm just getting dumber. Or maybe it's because I added Alhanelem to my ignore list.

The average IQ of the posters raised by 5 when you did that.

Sadly, that puts it at 25...
