Ifrit weapons are absolutely not worth the time they take to obtain, they're a small half-step above GC/DL weapons.

Get GC weapon, farm WP for stones and possibly a DL weapon, get some better than AF gear (sans body) from drops and spend some philo stones on DL. Infinitely better way to spend your time to upgrade your character.

Ifrit is an absolute waste of time.

Have they said anything about doing tokens for primals? I'm still trying to figure out why they removed them from V1.

I do not understand all the damn white knighting with mob grinding in FATEs. bunch of idiots saying it's an exploit. I suppose it kind of is but who cares.

I'm curious to see what these morons will do once they run out of quests to do.

Run dungeons...? Cutter's Vale trash mobs were giving me 1800+ exp per kill and 10K per boss.

Sad how true this is. I'm just trying to play the "it's launch" card. I mean XI's initial 50 cap was probably pretty lame too. We didn't get access to the game until it was 70 iirc. However, with the astral/umbral dynamic going on it seems the class will just be a fire spam for all time. Pretty lame. I really think the simplification of no elemental weaknesses was a stupid idea. It's 'less' FF this way and just a spam fest of the same three spells over and over.

This is such bullshit lol. Seriously, you can post this with a straight face?

Can we make distortion? WHAT?! WE CAN'T?! well can we make frag?! OK GOOD!

Seriously, try harder.

And eventually XI BLM just became cast Blizzard and Thunder while someone else refreshed you. Nevermind the "chart" neglecting additional BLM abilities and cross-class options. Though I guess it's funny seeing XI-trained BLMs being too much of a sissy to get in a mob's face, either to tank lesser mobs or better negotiate Blizzard II use. Sort of like the stupid bunny-hopping archers I see, too.

**Niiro** · 2013-09-19 18:09

Elemental weaknesses are stupid, they're a game of rock paper scissors where you already know what the other guy is going to throw.

This is the worst post I have read all week. Spam the same 3 spells over and over? Yeah man FFXI was tactical bro! Please close your mouth when you're breathing, you won't look as stupid.

HI THERE IS A MAINTENANCE THAT JUST STARTED

**miokomioko** · 2013-09-19 18:23

That image came from Reddit... along with quotes like:

Vanilla FFXI's battles were definitely more complex than FFXIV.

Bonus points: You can apparently Darkness skillchain with Warp!

I miss my... like 8 completely different BLM gear sets. NOT.

Career redmage.

I do not miss gear sets. I do wish my FFXIV gear was somehow more interesting, but I don't know how to solve that without gearsets. As long as you can't swap gear in combat, the swaps shouldn't get too far out of control. SHOULDN'T.

**Carth** · 2013-09-19 18:46

The key is to focus on expanding on Cross-Class skills and Materia.

Cross-Class skills are extremely disappointing for the most part, and Materia is very basic.

**amentis** · 2013-09-19 18:51

The real problem is how few sets of gear there seems to be, and how... simplified and dumbed-down stats are.

I mean WoW stats have been simplified and dumbed down like, 4 times now, and it's still way more complicated than this shit is. Also, reforging owns, need more reforging in FFXIV kthx.
