Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

that post is a goldmine, I'm a sucker for people so stupid they can't even figure out which word to use to say what they mean.

I honestly think they are just paid bots. Like surprised this guy has over 20k views for an ffxi video. And even his sponsored videos have the plague there. I dont get how SE is willing to pay people to stream XI but they allow all this to keep going, weird honestly and even on video of someone they sponsored

definitely doesn't look like a bot. you're a weird guy draylo

Draylo's presence reminded me that I need to finish BLU. My old HNM LS made me stop leveling it to level BLM so I stopped at 55.

Also, there's still party/alliance content, idk wtf they're talking about.

EDIT: current to-do list:
Finish WHM to 99 jlv.
Get Mystic Boon.
Finish BLU to 99
Get Bloodsword (preferably as a drop) and remaining RDM AF2 for lockstyle.
Finish Sandy missions.
Clear Windy missions.
Clear WotG (why did I not do this already?)
Finish RoV (stuck at WotG)
Do the moogle mini xpacs.
Maat's cap
Actually gear.
Actually level DRG and SMN.
Finish Apoc, immediately get mad that it isn't actually finished.

"you guys are so dumb" isn't much of a criticism to work with. if you want actual discussion you gotta give people more to work with. if you just want to sling insults, go right ahead, but don't expect anyone to take you seriously.

also doesn't look like a bot. but yes, most ffxi players private or not are not very bright

are you ok?

I hate to generalize, but it's a common misconception among PS players that trust magic somehow ruined the game. They don't seem to understand that it was put in place to counter the fact that players were already leaving and was a solution, not a cause.


Other than that, all of the points are valid. It's free. It's far easier to create an account and login to private servers. There are more players on private servers looking to group up for content rather than solo/multibox it. This shouldn't trigger anyone.

can quibble over word choice if you want, but trusts did fundamentally change the game irrevocably. giving people enough agency to handle many mundane tasks alone is taken for granted these days, and is one of many changes that left the community a hollow shell of what it used to be.

some prefer that freedom, some miss the forced cooperation. the thing is, they're both kinda right. not having to play with stupid people prevents unnecessary stress and friction, but ensures your social circle stays small and potentially misses new people who would fit in with your group nicely.

Trusts aren't replacing much though in anything major. Except for maybe a guy that plays on controller, using his feet.

The "not having to play with stupid people" part is solved easier with multiboxing, which is where a majority of things are at. Pocket buffers or debuffers are gonna offer you way more than Qultarded busting or interrupting SCs, Joachim's paeons or Sylvie's choices of 2 things, depending on what job you're on.
The only difference is the why part. Some do it for convenience. No having to look for *X role* to be filled. Or maybe they work weird hours, so it's more fitting for their playtime. Sure, there's those are are antisocial on the game and just want to accomplish stuff by themselves, but a majority of the multiboxers will drop one of them to have a human join. Assuming said person isn't a living version of Luzaf and does actual nothing.
