"I would rather lower my average damage output to make the mob briefly run over to me."
And you wonder why people don't take you seriously.

Because to him ffxi is life and if youre not in first, youre last....youre not allowed to have fun
I fail to see the point in seeing a large number if I'm well aware that I'm doing worse.
Explain what about seeing a big number is "fun". Quit being a tool and trying to start shit. It doesn't work in your favor, ever.
Different people have different values of fun?!
Say it ain't so!!
Eeh.
Now now, its Cair's way or no way at all..right? Afterall, he has ALL the empyrean weapons!

Something something being able to exist in a social environment as simple as an internet forum without driving someone to have to pay to make me shut up for awhile something something.
I'm not saying you can't have fun being inferior; it's just a bad idea. I'd be more impressed with consistent higher numbers than regular lower numbers and a screenshot of damage that doesn't really prove anything.
And here we have the interminable BG debate. Let the man do it. Yeah its not the ideal, without question, max DPS, can't be questioned by BG set but its not like he's showing up with a lv99 mythic and nuking in a weskit. Good lord let him slide.
In VW i use my mules for COR rolls and Boost-INT that with Aftermath 2 at 299tp its really fun to manaburn as a frontline job riding fanatics. Most mobs I do really well some are magic resistant and not so fun.
I just told my LS to get another blm to cover procs that I was responsible for
Cairthenn is Cair from Valefor/Kujata? we did that modius vertius helix on that ufo?
Intentionally lowering the damage output of your alliance for the sake of using your staff. Interesting.
If a linkshell has characters geared of that quality I'm sure they won't miss one spot being taken just to fuck around with.
Pretty much, VW is easy as shit. I would do the same if I invested that kind of gil into a toy like that.
This community actively critiques things that amount to far less than that.
If it isn't causing any issues with the kill, I don't see why it's a problem really. More so if he's making the group, or friends of his who are fine with this kind of playstyle.
I'm not disagreeing with you. I am saying that there's an entire section of this website designed to make fun of people who do things that amount to less, so "because it's a mythic, it's alright" doesn't follow this theme at all. One of the most recent complaints in that thread involves someone WS'ing in Twilight for christ's sake. Both are pretty dumb, and excusing one silly act because it's an expensive silly act is similarly dumb.
Chances are he's going to be out damaging a lot of pickup DDs anyways, so this isn't entirely true.
I'm as aware of that as I am about the inconsequential nature of the action itself. The point remains unchanged. Cherry-picking who we're going to call out for making dumb decisions isn't very becoming.
