So what if your mom died, puppy got ran over, your sister is kidnapped, your wife cheated on you, you got fired, your PC/360/PS2(3) failed and you were in jail. You're expected to come on your RDM because FFXI is srs.
Thus why I avoid end game like the black death. You forgot that your deaf, dumb (mute), blind, paraplegic, Alzheimer's ridden, cancerous and bald Grandfather fell down the stairs and became a vegetable. deaf, dumb, blind and paraplegic, not to mention has Alzheimer's... Dude, your grandpa reached vegetable status long before he fell down the stairs, in fact he probably had no idea he fell down the stairs anyway.

Oh, on the topic of extremely long camps... When you get all 3 kings in position to spawn, and each window is back to back to back. Making it worse, when all 3 kings spawn NQ last window for 2 days in a row and you're camping mobs forever... Ouch.
Oh and I'm not quite sure he was a vegetable yet... He still could move his arms after all.

People who say you can't solo something (NM, a BLU spell, AF quest) but when you do, they won't acknowledge that you did it solo (you had outside help/you can't solo that way/you aren't supposed to kill it like that).

With that in mind, people who shout for retrace. . .It's uuber freaking easy to get to. Get to WG, warp to home nation, run outside, use the Maw, and then BAM! You're there. Not much walking because all those spots it warps you are very close to the next warp. What ~10-15min is time you can't waste? Time that you'll warp to a zone that is in a campaign battle only to have it end 20seconds later and give you 10, maybe 20 AN. . .yeeeeah. People that *** about people shouting for retrace, yet probably still shout for tele. Get to WG, warp to home nation, run outside your MH, OP.

Rdm's that see your alliance farming Ix'drk, then come and solo an aern on top of you, and pop it. Hence assuring that your LS won't be able to kill it for the next 3 or 4 hours or so. (Although the rdm in question died as soon as he pulled and didn't look to be trying again)

Another thing that bugs me is WHM teleport taxis that feel the need to advertise their service in shouts, especially when it's ridiculously frequent. Shouting that you have the ability to teleport won't increase other people's need to go somewhere any more nor will it give you increased chances of being one to invite someone quickly. People who need will shout and will get invited promptly.

It's the frequency that annoys me. Shouting for it in the first place is a little unnecessary in my opinion, if people want a teleport they'll shout for one. When they spam their three lined shouts every minute, they end up on my blacklist pretty quickly. I take them off once I leave Whitegate, but still...

Ooooooooooooh Myyyyyyyyyyyyyy Gooooooooooood why did I not think of this sooner.
People who go "I'm going to go Refresh Sanction" and decide it's a good time to make a drink, get some food, take their grandma to the mall, feed their cat, wash their hair, do the ironing, build their new pond, etc etc etc ET F***ING CETERA.
Does my head in, seriously. Refreshing sanction should be "Zone > NPC > enter x3 > Zone > Hello again!". Just can not stand people who take ten hours to do it.

I get annoyed with the huge jump in EGLS's that have to shout for members in whitegate over and over and over. Also the SAME linkshells that shout in whitegate who are years old. Ah HELLO if your egls is over a year old and your still shouting for members, maybe you should try a different recruiting tactic. And then all the lil starting shells, if they all would just combine instead of 3 different shells shouting for members I bet they would be fine.
well maybe not fine, but would save me a headache :3
Thats all that matters

When people get you to help with CoP BCNMs, take 2hrs to get a group, then "forget" they needed to reinstall the expansion pack....

At least it seems that way to me. I plan to level COR soon, but for now I'll defer to Woo(ooo)dum to see if I'm right or not. This is only because people generally perceive Corsair as a lower quality Bard... So like Bards, they don't make effort with their gear and thus gimp any form of damage they might be able to inflict. Corsairs that really make the effort will outparse most jobs on Colibris and provide parties with ample support in the process. People just aren't willing to give people a chance to show it. We have the majority who just can't be bothered to make an effort to thank for this. COR isn't really even that hard to gear correctly, save maybe a PCC. Seriously, the ability to DD that well is the reason it's better than BRD.

Stupid people who give free stuff to females/people who pose as females. That just promotes you need to go outside more.
And shame on the people who actually take the stuff then cry they have stalkers.

Its just ineffective. Though it would be interesting to watch those Drk kill themselves using Drain II on a skele.

I mean you're either in Jeuno/WG anyways. If you in jeuno it'll cost 300gil to get to jeuno. then get the imp. silver piece warp to home nation and run. . .yeeeeah, thats really hard and time consuming. Honestly, if someone told me all you just said, I'd resume shouting for a Retrace. xD

In other FF versions it has negative effect I think, perhaps not curing the skele, but certainly hurting the player. What really grinds my gears is everything about our Nyzul run tonight. 40 win, no drop. 100 win, askar head, thf accidently lots and gets it (can't use). 100 attempt 2, get to floor 99, one lamp, we all hit it, nothing happens. Call GM, he gets to me pretty quick and then:  And then another 40 win and we get out 7th askar legs... Still no denali legs after god knows how long -_-

You know what REALLY grinds my gears? RMT. They come in, camp all of our NMs, farm all of our mobs, monopolize the AH, get the prices on everything dropped to next to nothing, then sell the gil to the exact same people that they're screwing over to MAKE the gil. The buyers end up getting banned, the RMT live on. Then when your economy is sucked dry, they move on to another server and peddle their wares taken directly from the previous server, thereby killing the economy even more. RMT are just like a blight on mankind and SE isn't doing a thing about it. Even more annoying now with the spam tells. I got 4 of them within 5 minutes from the same person.
