+6 INT Augmented Weskit Causes Sky To Fall, News at Eleven

[Correction]

It'd be interesting to see how many of the people for the FoV updates have ever done HNM

This is BG, the older posters have pretty much all done HNM. Strawman moar.

CONTRACTINGLOL

Also: augmented gear on NM's that didn't exist a day ago is new gear on new mobs, if you want to argue semantics, let's get right into the nitty gritty of it.

It have a different name?

If not it's still the same item if you want to argue semantics.

[Jeryhn]

It would be nice if you could augment salvage/hnm gear.

Until someone augments their Homam Cosciales with Slow+4% and shit hits the fan.

also it's best just to ignore BRP he's either clinically retarded or trolling

All of them. What is your point?

[Aksannyi]

But it is not unfair. You are contradicting yourself.

How is it not? Someone that put minimal effort into gearing their character should never deserve something as rare as a Dring over someone who has spent years gearing and maxing their character.

I realize that the very nature of this game contradicts that, but that doesn't mean I have no right to complain about it. Again, I don't think such a thing will ever be fixed. But that doesn't mean that by nature, its design isn't pretty poor.

I rather like assault point-style items, which take into account the amount of work you've actually done (based on points) before you can get an item. But to stand here and say that you don't think it's an utter travesty that some shitty PLD can get the most rare and sought after item without putting nearly as much effort as more than half the other PLDs on the server just because of random luck is pretty asinine.

Ignoring me would make being clinically retarded a much easier process. For example if you didn't ignore me you would have to backpedal on why you talked about all that random chance stuff instead of just saying you only actual care about reskins.

[BRP]

How is it not?

Because it is random. Like you said.

You are just being bitter about rolling poorly.

EDIT: There is a difference between someone deserving something and someone getting luckier than you.

Blame botting, not the game. I've seen some shitty ass PLDs with D.rings, and they only got them cause their bot was better than someone elses. Extra effort and skill right?

Maybe SE should base Cast lots, NM claims and randoms on Join dates?

THIS JUST IN:

There are people in FFXI who get good gear and (shock horror, gasp) don't deserve it!

I thought this was an MMO, where this kind of stuff was the norm.
Only difference now is that its somehow sanctioned by Square-Enix?

[Xno Kappa]

The people throwing a temper tantrum over this +6INT Weskit need to differentiate to themselves whether this is a game or a job.

[Hapernack]

In before we find out some JP got Haste+6% on a Warwolf belt or something ridiculous -_-

Really though, this makes no sense to me. There should be no way to match ultimate-end armor through something as basic as FoV...

[D44kpunk]

This thread is about discussing the items, if people who have a different opinion than you are always throwing tantrums you should seek help because you have quite a pathetic superiority complex.

I don't blame the game exclusively, I also blame the community to some extent for allowing such shit to happen, which includes botting and allowing for gimps to even get anything worth getting. I don't think it's ever going to change, but I do think it really blows to spend four years of your life becoming uber at something only for some other idiot to run up and get it in fourteen seconds.

I'm not advocating for change, but I can certainly see how things like this might be cause for some upset.

This is a good post. Someone get D44kpunk to read it.

[Day]

I somehow feel lucky I've never once seen a D44kpunk post until now. Who is this guy? Are you really this upset over this? Holy shit this thread is amazing.

[Rocl]

Oh my god

You are all a bunch of babies. All of you, jesus.

This coming from someone personally getting offended by this Weskit while calling everyone retarded and idiotic. Good job bro, A+.

This has been happening since long before Augments. And 5 years ago the argument was "It's pretty asinine that my LS that doesn't bot but works oh so hard doesn't get drops but that LS that bots and doesn't work for claim gets drops." The game hasn't changed since then, I can't believe folks aren't as numb to the RNG rewarding luck over competence by now.

[Jeryhn]

Rocl, gotta say, I love your av/sig.

brb watching that movie now

Clearly I'm a nobody because I don't post on spam forums but if you wanna play that card I guarantee you more people know who I am then who you are. If you're just baiting me then gj
