Avesta is back! (Byakko solo)

inb4 Anyone could do that if they had his gear cause soloing byakko is like soloing a bumblebee.

Anyone who knows how to solo.

So you could do this np then? Staying within parameters of the game? All those extra equipment swaps for a steady 2hours+? You'd be surprised that stamina is actually a skill as well as consistency.

I'ma call this thread Jesus, thanks for resurrecting it guys.

Come on, only 12 more pages and my prophecy will be fulfilled.

And you are close to being Nostradamus.

Yeah so hard that people need bots to do simple things it seems ;/

If i had the gear avesta did? Sure, np.

It's not really that hard to pay a little attention for a few hours.

Unfortunately my bind set is currently only 112 int, +32 macc (including 5 ice merits), and 339 enfeeb skill, making it rather impossible.

Yeah so hard that people prefer bots to do boring things it seems ;/

Not impressed until done on PS2 with controller using manual gear changes for each and every step of the way.

And no macros at all, amirite?

Oh they can have macros, but only for battle taunts.

/sh OH MIGHT OF BEAST RISE FROM THE CIRCLE OF FLAMES AND TROUNCE THE ENEMY WITH YOUR AWESOME CLAWS. I SUMMON IFRIT IN ATTACK MODE!

Ah, so as long as the macros only make things harder, or slow you down, it's ok?

Like, would it be ok to have a bind macro that you hit every time you cast bind (through the menu), but the macro equipped all the wrong gear, that you then had to go and manually change back?

Crazy thing is I don't know who's trolling or arguing which side, specifically people who have posted multiple times.

It truly is for many, many players.

That's called "good trolling".

[Hioki]

Oh you people and your overconfidence believing that everything in a game is purely skill-less and only gear means something. I mean gear = skill of course. The more gear you have the better you must be. This logic is the only truth obviously. Skill isn't defined by accuracy and precisions of specific combinations, informed decisions, on-the-go choices, or maneuvering through set boundaries given through a program. Skill cannot be determined by consequences of ones actions or of continuous attempts and failures. No this is not skill this is obviously a repercussion of gear that one has come into.

It's silly to give props to a person whom has a achieved much based off of these talents and assume that everything must be "because of his gear". An artist must be an extremely unskilled person because everyone has a pencil and paintbrush. A carpenter must be unskilled because everyone can get a hammer. There is no way these people can be skilled at anything more so than another "because we all have the same gear".

This is not to say gear doesn't open more options but people need to get off the high horse and recognize that some people are better at some things than others and not "because of his gear". This is also not to say the game is hard but somethings take a bit more skill than your average person. Even trolling is a skill.

ITT: ffxi is like the real life

[Valisk]

ITT: I only refute analogies that disagree with my standpoint.

[Hioki]

ITT: people feel inferior and need to downplay
