So do I and it's not. There's literally 5 bots running a zig zag in front of me, one is literally auto following the other.

I would like to say that after 12 runs of O2 I absolutely love this loot system! It is not frustrating, and infuriating at all! There's nothing like seeing a 1,200 DPS Dragoon faceplanting into a dirt nap five times in the fight roll an 82 and beat everyone for a Lens! Cool And Good!

I mean, it's a problem. But it's not detracting from my enjoyment of it and I still win a bunch in spite of it. I literally cannot think of a way to combat it without outright killing its popularity.

Square Enix has now implemented a patch that queues bots with bots. Fifteen minutes of seventy two people running in circles, training off each other.

Put in PVP, but with my adventurer squadron fighting other people's like some kind of hosed-up pokemans.

In fact rather than your adventurers they could use something else in the game, a collectable like minions perhaps, and give them all unique abilities and stats.

 i'm the primal ex mount buyer that takes 50 kills to get a mount. Also lol at the person not realizing they do this because the buyer is expected to either paypal them cash or buy gil on their server.

m.hache posted:(until I memorize fights I suppose). It's a good thing memorizing fights is incredibly easy then. Also, most raidwide AoE has a cast bar and is Third Eyeable. Ukehi and Stotram are the two from EX Primals. Also as SAM there is a good chance you'll be the target of the Blue Marker AoE of Lakshmi, and as that is a buster Third Eye could save you if healers are bad.

is it just me wanting to start ninja funtimes and stop cockney jamble treasure hunts that all go the exact same way or is the 20-30 grind still a completely uninteresting slog despite all the exp buffs and all? I think it's just the zones, really. It's not until 30ish when you actually break out of the 'your choice is forest, desert, or cliffs, forever' that lasts since you start your character.

Thanks for the tip about adding equipment sets to the hotbar, friend goons; that alone has improved my FFXIV experience immensely. I think I really like this game you guys. :3 I've tried a lot of MMOs since WoW and this might be the first one to capture some of that feeling of "wow this is a world I really want to see more of." I'm sure I'll have more dumb questions as I go along, so thanks in advance!

I have a lot of fond memories of just walking around the world taking screenshots. The black shroud is very colorful but limsa is by far my favorite area Imagine my surprise when I didn't know summerford farms or the entire map it's based in existed because there are no MSQs that go there. I didn't unlock that aetheryte until months after hitting 50. It's so pretty though, with a full view of the main city lit up at night

You give the person gil, person and their 6 buddies go into the trial with you and you promptly die or actually try to do it and the other 7 people leave your body on the floor and clear it without your help.

I'm sure the mods actually deal out punishment for those, much like people who join clear parties that clearly state "Don't roll on this item" and the person rolls on it and get a pm from a GM shortly after.

it's not against tos to sell clears/mounts/etc, and as long as there's a written agreement in the chatlogs GMs WILL take it pretty seriously, yeah.

I don't know about primal mount farming, since those don't drop every time, but the run-selling "community" for savage content is fairly well-organized, and most servers have some extremely trusted groups which is kind of necessary, since if you're buying cutting-edge content, you have to actually let the sellers log onto your account and play as your character

The early game I don't think is that bad, it's slow-paced but has a lot of worldbuilding and such. The absolute dire part is basically Pre-Titan to Titan or maybe to Garuda depending on your patience. Once you get past Garuda is begins picking up a bit (with occasional dips in post 2.0.)

Really what I meant was that the content is too easy and boring to play but if you want to talk about the story, yeah it's fine except for Garuda, Titan, and some of the filler after 2.0. I started leveling dork knight and I realized I just don't enjoy doing any pre-50 dungeon anymore because of how brain dead it is.

I'm still bitter that they didn't swap the level requirement for Synastry and Gravity for AST. Going into a level 50 dungeon and not having an AoE skill in content that we out level so much that a single HoT can keep the tank alive...it doesn't feel good. When I level sync below 40 as BLM and have to start transposing, I die a little bit on the inside.
