    Nah that's it. Funny how that works, in grade school the parents are usually more deferential to the teachers, but then college starts and suddenly we're throughly rating professors to maximize GPA while minimizing work and stress.

    I'm totally with Gred on teaching style, we just have a fundamental disagreement on what a game is.

    TBH I’m kinda with Gred on his FFXIV take, it was fundamentally designed as a competitive game simply by having NM’s and HNM’s be a thing, if you couldn’t handle the stress than maybe that content wasn’t for you. Same way that not every player in FFXIV is going to be running Savage or Ultimate fights

    No one really had a problem with hard mobs in this context. It was the RL timers linked to them that made them problematic. It was never a skill check no matter how much Gred may want to argue you didn't need bots to compete.

    He would argue that the time and sacrifice needed is a skill, I think.

    I claimed two kings in one day without botting and I never let panda live it down.

    While the people on App slept, I set my alarms to get up every 25 minutes for the windows.

    ngl I also set alarms for kings when they were on JP time

    My mom was absolutely gobsmacked that a teenage boy would willingly get up at like 6am for anything at all, much less that, even much less in the summer lol

    I remember me and Tyrath were getting up at 5-6am for Einherjar for months on weekends too

    Nothing like nights of waking up every hour to check for a Tiamat/Khimaira/Cerb spawn.

    Enrage timer was the best and most entertaining addition ever



    Was this really 20 years ago? If you look carefully, you might see a young Dimmauk running around

    Out of curiosity, did any of you ever apply to become a GM? I always wondered about the process and pay.
