Have my WHM at 50 but thinking about leveling another class this weekend for support abilities. Should I go THM or ACN first? I've heard THM is good for the swiftcast but that's all I've heard about either of the classes abilities. Which would be more useful initially for WHM? I'm guessing ACN but I got mine to 15 and it was terrible to play, much rather do THM if I can justify it.

So does anyone have a preferred method of getting wind shards? Trying to level my goldsmith but these shards keep holding me up and the auction house is a little too pricey for now.

Just off the top of my head, but I think central shroud level 5 trees have all the wind shards you need.

Next level keybinding is to switch spacebar to something useful like an interrupt or something else you want extremely quick access too.

You'll need to rebind that jump key for turn 1 of coil :ssh:

Yea never unbind it... just rebind it to something normal like C, V, or B. Why does jump have to be the biggest and most accessible key on the keyboard?

I'm glad FF14 is going to start kicking me in the nuts @ 50. I'll agree pubbies are loathesome, and PS3 pubbies are even worse, but getting a good group of friends is and kicking down content and being able to show off to the pubbies is worth it.

EDIT: It felt good back in Vanilla WoW and TBC, and I'm drat sure it'll feel good now. Things like "raid finder" have diminished the accomplishments of the truly dedicated.

If raid finder diminishes your accomplishments, you don't have any real accomplishments.

Here in the dev team, we aren't suspended. Suspended people need to unlock true potential.

:downs:"Hey Yoshi aren't we forgetting to do something before we leave"

:angel:"Oh poo poo yea I think we should ban everyone over 10 million gil. That should stop people from spamming and botting."

:downs:"Okay but what if those people were just the recipients of botted and hacked gil? Should they be the ones punished?"

:angel:"That's not really our problem. Our problem is we haven't done anything about our game being easier to hack than runescape. We need to show people we mean business. Ban them all, I'll figure something out over the weekend."

Yep sorry they just lost my subscription, I'm not masochistic enough to continue to play this game if they unban me. I just feel bad for the people who bothered to call their CS to complain about this.

I don't think the botting situation ever made it possible to afk to 50.

I dunno I remember fate grinding from 30-50ish where you could just get a bot to do it.

Gathering too tho, pretty much every crystal was botted.

I was unclear, what I'd like to know is if botting is still a problem in the game. 'problem' to me meaning, 'affecting the enjoyment of other players'.

I'd also like to know if SE has done anything to stop people from botting, speedhacking, or teleporting. For example, have they ever started banning people?

Just to add, the first of their statements included an explanation of what they mean by illicit activity:

Thanks, at least they are doing something now. At the launch they basically admitted they had a lot more problems and botting just took a backseat.

e: I also remember not even being able to use the main chat in the cities because it was being spammed with RMT ads

From what I've heard steam just provides with you a key, so the free month shouldn't start until you actually register your account. Don't act on just this, though.

This is true. I just walked my friend through setting up a new account after he bought it on steam.

How do I unlock the duty finder roulette? I just want to do the High Level one but it just says I have to 'complete the following: ??????????'... not very helpful. Last time I played was 2.0 and I unlocked everything back then, I'm guessing I just need to unlock the new dungeons?

DRK just being a straight up job makes me think they're going to axe classes in 3.0 completely.

WoW was able to introduce DK as a 'hero class' and it didn't really effect any of the other classes
