God, nothing like a good Xylia bash.

Don't feel like looking for it, but there was a thread way back when Taj did the zone DC then alerted GM's with the maint. Someone linked BG thread and shit hit fan. Xylia rolls in with his zombie troops and starts preaching, then Divisor and I come in and start working him.

Good times.

There is nothing wrong with most alla posters that getting smacked in the face with someone's junk wouldn't fix.

I mean, coma hard.

That Senhra or w/e Guru who just has nothing but bashing for Avesta just makes my brain hurt.

I know a lot of people on alla are idiots, but people actually apparently respect this persons opinion? God damn...

Next up:

'Nerf Cure! Recovering HPs = game exploit!'

Ah, denigration via net jargon, The cycle of trolling is now complete. A price one must pay for saying truths people don't want to hear, I guess.


Nonetheless, I don't care about your literal face. I don't run to ffxiplayers to look for the picture of anyone that ever picks a fight with me. You are a faceless wonder with what was 1 of your now 10 posts kicking off as backhanded insult. And you haven't been the first in this thread.

For the most part, I know the regulars here. Sometimes we butt heads like this. Sometimes we poke at the newbies (Shut up, Naygor~). Sometimes we, honest to goodness, unite on something. Obviously, this isn't one of those times, but of the few old timers that have poked their head in here, they actually agree on Bind's brokenness.


Furthermore, as the faceless wonder you are, you wouldn't know that I'm all about making this game more solo friendly for every job. The recent Signet patch helped that out a little, but I wouldn't exactly call being able to solo EPs with a bit more ease any more comforting when you're 30000 EXP tnl and the mob only gives you 41. It's more a low level thing.

Don't confuse solo friendly with wanting everyone to be able to take on tough NMs, though.

Therein lies the crux of the issue. I don't care if it's one guy or one hundred thousand doing it. It is a mob, in principle, to be amongst the elite of its kind as a servant to an even greater power. In being soloed, it fails to live up to that mythos and has obviously failed from a developer's standpoint.

Unfortunately, I know the concept of "roleplaying" is lost in this stat crunching, parse-happy, e-peen swinging world of FFXI that we know today. The same perspective of roles is what has had me frustrated for years in regards to how RDM is played out in parties. In other words, not as a warrior mage, but often a WHM substitute and sometimes preferred, at that.

Bind threatens that ever being remedied.

"How so, dumbass?" I'm sure people are thinking. Of course, I already said why before amidst my myriad of replies to this topic. In recap, opinion drives the evolution of this game. Opinion dictates that with the existence of Avesta and RDMs like him who perform and advertise these solos, the RDM job is already overpowered and is therefore unworthy of any future improvements.

As a whole, I obviously don't believe RDM is overpowered and is naturally still lacking the means to realize its full potential as the fighter mage class it is supposed to be, or at least as the pinnacle enfeebler through variety and potency if they're so deadset on finalizing a niche. The opinion on being overpowered is a fly that must be swatted in order to bring the acceptance of a rejuvenated job class. Time and again I've outlined how life will not change for us, as the majority who will both never try or never succeed, with Bind adjusted. However, it will do its part in serving as the fly swatter while simultaneously restoring the good-natured difficulty of select NMs where it was abused.


Consider this my last post in the thread. The only worthwhile alternative to a Bind nerf in adopting Rage modes all around has already been discussed, and that is a punishment to everyone as opposed to a fix to RDM. So, sit back and take pot shots if you want. I've said my fill by now.

tl;dr summary:

So noble, taking his punishment for telling those hard-to-hear truths about how bind needs to be nerfed! Of course 2 paragraphs dow he questions the legitimacy of a poster based on their post count, and name-drops an alla-regulars to prove...something? In any case, being able to solo seiryu is all a part of how the elitists and their godamn parsers and their numbers have taken all the role-playing out of the game. By the way, bind threatens RDM's role as a support class job ever being "remedied", apparently it makes us too much like a whm :(. Why? Because it disguises the fact that RDM is obviously in need of improvement to catch up with other jobs! It makes it look overpowered! Anyway, he is totally washing his hands of this thread and its stupidity (until 2 posts later :D).
