I honestly don't agree with the training that happened; that's why I didn't want to be a part of it and hence wasn't even present there. But, to be frank, I don't agree with the whole "outdps other pepole" thing (I think that's a load of fucking bullshit); it's just not what I'm used to from where I come from. Morals have just changed since then I guess, it's how it goes.
^ a MMO not having a claim system outside of a dps race is the most retarded thing if ever seen, and becomes extremely obvious on all world bosses. Instead of asmo/elyos trying to kill each other at Menetios.. what do they do? They train massive mobs before they begin their assault lol. But all aside, putting a dps race system in place where it prevents some ppl from holding mobs, seeing warwench, truffles, kyskikik (w/e his name is) ^ Genesis train ppl for hours just to cock block them is retarded beyond believe. Least in FFXI, when you could train ppl, it was because the other LS wanted the mob. And even FFXI training was never as bad as this because you could call a GM and have them there w/in 30 minutes to watch the scene
Its a PVP-centered game? Where are "morals" in a FPS? If you're red, you're dead: that's a perfectly logical point of view to take in a PVP-based MMO. If you want free immunity from outside influences when fighting a boss, play a PVE MMO.
I have nothing against you, but too many years spent playing online games with any sort of PVP in them have hardened my view. I used to agree with your viewpoint, and I wouldn't gank anyone fighting, nor allow my guilds to, but hey, the freedom in a PVP game means the freedom to pull a dick-move (or just a tactical move) and kill who you wish to kill, even if it is greifing.
Sorry.
World spawns, training, and kill stealing are basically a triple whammy of suck. I wanna say I'm one of the moral types that won't train or KS, but you know, it doesn't feel good just bowing your head and letting those will take over. I don't think fighting back with a canceled subscription will fix any of these problems, but even if I'm only looking at Aion until XIV, I'd kinda like it to last that long.
Aion is a game that looks good on paper, and on the character creation screen, but falls apart in the details.
Part of the reason FFXI and WoW are so damned long-running is because while both haven't perfected all of their details (and never will), both introduced imperfect systems that self-perpetuate sustainability. FFXI is a teamwork-oriented engine of slow but steady progress and camaraderie, and WoW is a intelligently-designed illusion box that offers both freedom and a restrictive direction at the same time.
Aion is some mishmash of nice colors and looks, but tries to hard to do little at all.
WoW and intelligent should never be in the same sentence. It just doesn't fit.

FFXI Valentine Event

Aion event sucks so much. Aion event is mostly double exp, free transformation candies, and moar...lodas amulet. Aion event manager put no thought into their event. They should learn a thing or two from FFXI. FFXI event is always fun and at least original.
oh, so Faytt, I love how 5 minutes after u quit I see Ayane and whorewrench shouting to sell ur BF loool.
and the fact aion is a 2009 release and they havent gotten past the issue of mob training is beyond me, even FFXI fixed that shit years ago
Eh? I never even had BF, lol. I gave Xeno Focused Shots, but that's all I had.
oh, figured it was urs after seeing them shouting after you quit. But seriously.. If i could of posted all the SS's of ror saying shit to warwench after you quit.. you would of died laughing..
Haha, War is a fucking two-faced retard. Sadly he was one of our best tanks too.
ror was going on about NerineJeanShorts, and war was getting all emo calling everyone out who chimmed it, defending you at the cost of making him sound even more retarded. It was so funny cause like 30+ ppl started to chime in about jean shorts until war couldnt post fast enuff in /3 on the 30 sec CD
That makes me giggle, because War was the one who couldn't care less about me in legion chat, didn't even say anything when I said I was quitting.
Stop filling the thread with your stupid personal quarrels.
Back on topic, still getting random D/Cs from time to time, and of course always while fighting a mob.

So I've been complaining to those Aion faggots on twitter about how their double exp/lodas events do absolutely nothing for us lv.50s. Giving out transformation candy for Vday is retarded. They really suck at making events.
They have no clue about in game events. The great in game Crazy Christmas Tree event was the reason I finally bit the bullet and joined FFXI. While some events were lame, a lot of them were hugely entertaining. WoW has proven they can do both good and bad events from full scale to just a simple thing like Dia de lose Muertos or Pirates Day.
NCSoft has proven they can't even do Christmas right. I had to mute my sound because the glorified Musak holiday music made me want to bang my head against my desk while I was in sanctum.
For Valentine's Day, I expected Candy/Chocolate. Maybe even a new Valentine's emote by doing a little miniquest of some sort. But itll end up just being a "survey" and shitty transformation candy that means nothing. Toss in that they are making the weekend a DBL xp weekend is just stupid. Yeah lets make an event that makes people have to choose between their loved ones and leveling up in a silly game! They coulda made the DBL XP go M-F next week as a reward. Hell, they could have made the candy work like Lodas but better. Or "double kinah drop" candy. Or even some Vanity outfits or something, but no. We get total worthless shit.
XI hasn't had an decent event in a long time. They just recycle the same bullshit events every single year and sometimes add a new piece or worthless crap to the event that year. But it's always the exact same event it was last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, etc.
At least a double xp weekend can please the other 85%+ that isn't 50 yet on the servers. Hell create and alt and/or level a craft for half the price. The events that both do are a waste of time and are a complete fucking bore and add next to nothing to the actual game other than people clogging up their respective zones for that time period.
