If I ever go back to a MMO it'd be to try to make story progress in 14. I'm still in Heavensward

If I resubbed now I feel like I would be reading the wiki more than actually playing the game

Your BG wiki ad revenue keeps the forums going!

Quick, make him play FFXI to derail his life’s development by a decade

If it was Classic XI, it would give him the greatest peak of his life though

A completely new player can be level 99 and in completely acceptable end game gear in a day or two at most by following the BG wiki guide. If you didn't have to stop and do the level break quests every five levels from 50-95, you could do it probably in 6-8 hours.

That is not the FFXI I loved to hate.

Don't worry being anti trump doesn't stop you from being a piece of shit.

Def has that "sure I hate everything you stand for but I also hate that one guy you stand against" energy.

As much nostalgia I have for the game, it doesn't even crack top 10 of my peak of life :/

Both my N. Legs and my D. Ring rate above winning (as a coach) the national championship in debate and my doctorate.

Since Trump represents/stands for nothing except himself, it's quite easy to get a coalition united purely by animosity for him since it needs no ideological consistency.

But my point was more so that the militarism (the only identifiable feature of this guy) isn't incompatible with multiculturalism. Integration of the army literally paved the way for broader breakdown of segregation.

Hegseth is the outlier. The military, ideally, functions as egoistic meritocracy both externally and internally. Hierarchy represents merit. Results are pursued for the purpose of gain, ambivalent to any wider implications of actions (reinforcing Western domination).

You just reminded me that when I got my Ridill the guy who had our alliance lead was a total douchebag and went AFK without lotting so we had to sit there and wait for it to drop.

You all didn't have officers as designated alliance/party leads only?

I can’t hate on my FFXI life. It led me to having my best family. And I still game with a few friends from there.


Also you wouldn’t have each other, fuckers.

I don't know if this is sarcasm, but with a Ridill I'd be deathly scared that the AFK was an act and that he was going to kick me so it would drop to him after everyone else had passed.

Which is why I always made officers the leaders of the parties and the alliance in general.

don’t know why i just thought of this

at one point my shell went something like 6/8 on khimaira claims/hauteclaire drops (it was mostly like 3am claims with 8 people that were horrible). i had pld leveled at that point and passed on each hauteclaire until the last one

was it because i was a magnanimous leader?

or was it because myself and some of the sack holders joked i was a better pld than most other people in the shell and they needed all the help they could get?

who can say really

[Mertron]

(honestly by that point i had everything you could want in the game outside of a relic, not just adaberk and a ridill but also a fucking mars ring from AV, i really stopped caring about drops at that point until i quit)

When my D.Ring dropped, the only main PLD online was someone on trial. I didn't intend to lot for it, but Panda told me I should.

At that point I had everything I wanted as well (Hecatomb Cap and Hecatomb Subligar were literally the only things I needed from Kings for my "main" THF that I never got to play). I had more DKP than anyone else though because I camped religiously, even after getting both my Cap and Subligar. Like I was still setting alarms to wake up every hour at night for Khimaira and Tiamat.

The guy immediately left after he didn't get the D.Ring, but there was a 90% chance he would have left if we gave it to him as well.

[Mertron]

oh and before i pass out, when i did get my adaberk, i only got it because i was the only person in my linkshell keeping track of fafhogg TODs for like two months straight, usually by myself. i did it on drk/whm to try to cast cure on myself to stay alive as long as possible through hurricane wing spam. in fact, i know there were multiple times it was just me and ryko (different shells) partied up to track TODs, and it wouldn’t surprise me if zealot was in those parties at some point too. one time our whole makeshift TOD party wiped and we were like WELP

there was one guy who was in the shell longer than me who was quite pissed when he got told to pass on the adaberk when it dropped (he got his like less than two months later i would guess so whatever)

our linkshell saw three drings drop

I believe in order it was gilean, killer, mrbliel

all three of them quit the game within literally 2 weeks of getting it lol

[Gredival]

Funny enough that PLD was someone who was like "Kings are a joke and having to get drops from them doesn't signify anything. Everyone bots and you not botting doesn't make you legit." Yet I was the only person with over 1000 DKP in the entire shell (D. Ring was 500) because I camped so much and I was one of the most prolific claimers because I made an effort to be at every window.

And I did in fact GM report him for making that admission to me using in game chat. Don't know if he got banned for it since he immediately rage quit the shell after he didn't get the D. Ring and that convo was only a few days within the camp.

He recently tried to call me out on Reddit saying I was the worst player in Zerg cuz I had no self-reflection. As if that matters for counting shadows?
