That's gen. I'd bet Draylo's Chloris on it.
Also, so much retarded just happened I don't even know where to start, but I will point out that savior seems to be having an internal war that is just... well it's just hilarious.
Edit: At all the Thorny haters: Yes, he is a shitty person to deal with socially (mostly because he has a short fuse); I don't see why everyone in the world needs to try and prove to him what he already knows. If you haven't figured out after 6/7 years of his playing that he is a complete ass then idkbro; you're also trying to beat him at something he's dedicated a large portion of his life to be extremely good at. You want to beat him at something? Challenge him to basketball, not how to play ffxi, you're rarely going to win. Beyond that, he really isn't so bad. He'll call you out for being shitty, cool, but he is actually pretty helpful with lots of things. If you don't totally suck at basic thinking he'll probably respond to your questions helpfully. If you don't want to hear his shit, ignore him. I don't see what's so hard about this.
Edit2: inb4 dickriding and gen getting rebanned.
Wait... so being good at something because it's been out for awhile means its irrelevant? Right. Better not tell Korea that being good at startcraft means nothing or else inc WW3. Nonetheless, posting that it's irrelevant on a forum that's designed for the furthering of the playerbases knowledge of the game. I don't even.
You just gotta take the good with the bad with Thorny. He knows what he's talking about most of the time but it comes mixed in with some colorful forum masturbation id rather not be subjected to.
Ultimately he's good for the overall health of BG boards but I tend to just skim over the parts where he goes full-tilt elitist douchebag. The entire purpose of BG's XI forums are to promote better overall gameplay and he's just doing his part.
No different than Neosutra was back in the day really.
The trolls don't even try any more(Milkster/Tormentor/Savior). Also, implying Neosutra was useful? Really?
Well, first off, the only 2 posts by people in my linkshell are one liners with no content and were not defending me in any way.
More importantly, did you actually read the thread's progression? Saviorself was the only person acting superior until everyone dragged me into arguments.. and you can't honestly say that anyone here would just ignore posts about/directed at them. Everyone defends themselves to the teeth until they know they've been beaten.
I said in this game, since the last two expansions haven't been released yet they are not currently apart of the game. Try harder. Actually I don't need the FFXI part of BG since I quit, but I do like to look at media just to see all the new things that have been released. You would be a true troll and an unsuccessful one at that.
Getting a mob stolen = wiping. Funny stuff indeed.
Wasn't stolen, I was there lol and he said not to touch it until it went yellow. Yellow makes the mob fair game last I checked, but who knows.
I hate Abyssea for making it easy for idiots to level up.
Thought i got SS but apparently didn't. Had a 69WAR/14WHM in party in full AF1 complete with AF Axe & Shield, and then a MNK that was high enough to wear Aurore Gear but could only Howling Fist because that's how high his skill level is...
Accurate.
Hilariously, the last time I was in a pre-Scars Abyssea alliance (a couple of months ago), that exact variety of idiot started shit talking me out of nowhere, and then tried to backpedal afterward.
It was a full-blown PUG alliance, and it was packed with gimps, like Domaru SAMs, Haste-free heavy DDs, and practically every stereotypical failure your mind can conjure. I'm just minding my own business, effortlessly out-damaging the whole collection of pissants (and planning to leave), and suddenly, I'm /checked several times in a row. I make a joking comment about popularity, and the one guy goes off, commenting on how my equipment combination didn't make any sense and that he doesn't know how I could "wear such shit".
Now, I only play once or twice a month (if that), so I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't on casual status. Nonetheless, I was reasonably outfitted. 80MNK with Mirke Wardecors (ACC/ATK), Turban, Hollow, Brutal, Forager's, Black Belt, Aurore Gloves, Rajas, Tassets (ACC/Haste), and Usukane Sune-Ate. Nothing obscenely retarded. I'm also fully merited, I eat Marinara Pizza, and I always get Abyssea buffs. I also have a -PDT/idle set, Chakra set, Footwork set, and so on, so forth. Passable, for certain, and a good example for all the lazy fucks who say people that hardly play can't even accumulate decent equipment.
This fucker didn't understand my body piece, rings, hands, or practically anything I had on, questioning my entire combination and saying my Black Belt was wasted.
I suppose it would have been better if I wore shit like Optical Hat, Warwolf Belt, Spike Necklace, and other pieces of garbage that the rest of the alliance was full-time sporting.
In retaliation, I publicly mocked them for a while, then detailed in /p why Haste and ACC were important (since most of the other cunts in the alliance didn't understand either).
In response, the guy who originally stirred shit up starts sending me /tells about how they were just messing around. I don't buy the bullshit, but I pretend to, asking them what led them to their equipment choices, while sweetly and innocently questioning their selecting certain terrible pieces over others. Their replies consisted of "idk" and "lol".
Evidently, retardation is the norm, competence is unacceptable, and excellence is a sin.
Am I the only one that thinks Kohan is like totally awesome?
Just fighting the good fight, that's all.
Kohan is far and away my favorite casual ever.
Kohan's post was the only decent thing you all managed between my last post and this morning.
