You were fate boting instead

[Kipling]

lol, that was even worse than hunts.

[Ratatapa]

I know lol I chuckled

[Silenka]

Yeah the hunt shenanigans get pretty insane. There are FCs on Siren that definitely have similar experiences to Uryuu's regarding hunts.

Even if you don't want to consider it real drama, it's the closest the sterile environment of the game can give us so far.

I heard hunt drama

You were seriously the most entertaining aspect of Hyperion for a long time. Before I left Waka had almost filled your shoes, but I don't think he could quite pull off the Ketchup Chips amount of server hatred.

It's just because of how this game is structured. Things are purposely designed so people have a very hard time fucking each other over. Gil has no value, there aren't really "rare" drops you wait months or years for, and there's no open world mechanism to pin guilds against each other and give people reasons to hate other groups. We have competition over who clears stuff first each progression patch, but the closest we've ever come in this game is hunts. I loved hunts, that drama was so much fun. I really wish there was open world pvp or some kind of relevant world spawn so we could get out there and have a good time causing a scene. I always tell my FC they are letting me down because so far in our guild no one has:

1) Stolen the bank or a hoard of items and then tried to RMT them for thousands of dollars
2) Sent nudes to someone else then when they had a falling out plastered the nudes on the website/somewhere else online as revenge
3) Met up and banged each other then caused drama because some dude with power is now getting his knob gobbled and gives preferential treatment to his fuck buddy
4) Stolen someone else's account and then demanded a sum of money through paypal for its safe return

As a leader, I am extremely disappointed in my FC.

All humor aside, the drama between shells back in XI really added an element of fun to the game. Even for our backwoods server, the nagging between cae, tal, dh, pixies, etc made everyone want to play a little harder just to piss each other off, and the results were usually gold.

Long gone are the days of sniping a tia, tense moments waiting for DI to pop as everyone runs around like crackheads rushing to claim, ridiculous late night KBs, etc.

I enjoyed XIV, but between the weekly lockouts, repetitive content cycles, and just overall boredom I couldn't hang. I hung on for a while with hope (see the old thread in my signature lol) but alas, it just didn't work for me

Hunt Drama was pretty funny. There was that drama about Angered on Ragnarok paying money for people joining groups iirc too.

You should have seen some of the cuckolding (I think thats the right word?) my last FC's leader did to some of the members.

Meh, not really. The competition was fun, watching people get butthurt over small and useless things was fun, trolling people when it doesn't actually hurt anyone is fun. Legitimate drama was not fun. Hearing about linkshells that split up because someone stole the bank or some gear wasn't really fun, it was just pathetic.

One of my proudest moments in that game was getting called "animals who should be locked up in cages" by Draylo for Whiskering people who got charmed on Croin.

It's not so much about it being "fun", it's about it being interesting.

Nothing in XIV matters enough to get people to care enough about anything to actually cause drama, and that's not interesting.

You clearly haven't seen the fallout from some guy fucking some guy's online girlfriend.

[TheDirtyHobo]

I'm obviously in the minority here, but I disagree about it being interesting, too. I just didn't care about it at all and had no interest in hearing about it, which is why the only reference I've actually caught in this thread was Taj publishing the bot list.

What the fuck does that have to do with the game tho.

That could happen with literally any online game ever.

Because it led to loot drama, because loot and claiming was relevant in FFXI. It all tied together so nicely.

Anyone have that quartermaster screenshot?

Now I'm lost, I was talking about how XIV does not have the means to create such drama, not that XI didn't.

[Zetanio]

I had a lot of stuff typed out til I realized we are in agreement. Nevermind.

I'm nostalgic for drama.
