    I was paid for being on-call at my job, since you're treating the game like a job you should account for it the same way.
    Being called to fight Tiamat.. which is fun is hardly a job for me

    This is the stupidest shit I ever heard.

    Being on call for a video game?

    I don't want to be hanging out with my girlfriend and get a phone call and have to be like:

    Me: "Oh sorry babe. I have to go play a video game."
    Her: "What? Why?"
    Me: "My LS claimed Tiamet and if I don't get there we might wipe and we won't get the gaiters."
    Her: So?
    Me: Don't you understand...without the gaiters WE CAN'T GET ANYMORE RELICS!!!!!

    The 400-man hour thing is a pretty stupid assumption, like others have stated. You only need to be at your PC for like 30 seconds every 1 hour, so who really cares?

    I do think it's dumb to bring more than a stall party out there. While the 400-man hour thing IS a dumb statement, gaiters are definitely not worth bringing a full alliance out there to camp. I'm all for camping with a stall team of 4-6, though.

    Ah well see, when your ls is good enough to be able to kill tiamat with 6-12 people and you have 20 members, you can NOT come if you are busy.. it's this cool thing we have as humans called a choice. It's nice when it pops 4am and you need some people on.. always get atleast 12..

    Don't hate.. just because we play at the next level.. don't hate..

    lol btw, it's "Tiamat" Not "Tiamet".

    Perhaps they do it because they think it annoys the rest of us, but to be honest I don't mind one bit when the entirety of the bottingest LS on the server is in Attohwa during day 8 Nidhogg. vv
    Sweetiepie, I've been in r0 for two years now, yet I don't have gaiters. I (and numerous others) need them way bad irl asap though, and so we still kill Tia when we can, if we're not too busy botting. The thing about leaving Aery to kill Tiamat is that instead of wiping to her for 3 hours like your LS, we kill it in 45 minutes and then head back to Aery (to bot). The process is self-regulating; that is to say, even if we didn't rush out to kill Tiamat, another LS would just hold it for a while for us unintentionally, wipe at 85%, and then we'd still kill it. Maybe we're doing you a favor, by saving you exp!

    right, we spend all this time with tiamat to sell gaiters for gil so we can go BUY gil.. you make sense. Go figure that you'd think IGE with that comment first and foremost. gtfo.

    Actually I thought of IGE too. I can't help but think of IGE whenever someone talks about "playing at the next level." Stupid ad banners. >.>

    That's making quite a supposition that the "girl" isn't, in all likelihood, his mother.

    Ok seriously that "just because we play at the next level, don't hate" line is perhaps the douchiest (thats likely not a word but here's me trying to start a trend) thing I've heard in ages.

    I'm not going to make fun of anyone for playing the game a lot. I do it.

    However, that being said...I WILL make fun of someone for playing the game a lot, and then thinking because they do that qualifies them to be in some kind of hardcore gangsta game badass club. If you actually think that way holy fuck for your own good, quit the game. Now. Get out and try to reform some kind of connection with reality because you have entirely lost touch.

    Note the difference now: This is not me calling you a loser for playing too much and having fancy items. This is me calling you a loser because you think playing too much and having fancy items makes you a badass. It doesn't. It makes you more of a dork than the rest of us dorks playing this dorky fucking game.

    No, I just think people who have to sit back and whine about how others play too much should stfu and get off our case. Do I play too much? yes.. hell yes.. do I still manage to run my company and date? Yah.. it works.. for now.
