seriously thought this was going to be a thread about photo editing...  I praise the integrity of your innocence, because this is what I thought the thread would be about.
pulp fiction?

/ma "Cure V" <t> is so much nicer than having like 8? gear changes over 2 macros, then the spell, then 8? gear changes back.
:D
Anyways, on the actual topic! Didn't read the *whole* topic, but being gimp means having far, FAR suboptimal gear and doing NOTHING about it. At least, that's what it means to me. Or not having SJs leveled properly. A couple hours in a good GOV party can fix that, and sometimes you do get good things out of even 3 levels. More than just stats, at least. Irritates me when I see 95x/37y. WTF gear choices may also be gimp if they make absolutely no sense whatsoever.
"Why are you still using a Lightning Bow on SAM at 95...?" type stuff. Perle/Aurore/someTeal, I don't mind because it is just a stopgap set between 75 and AF3.
Thing that irritates me the most though is seeing BLMs wearing Teal hands/feet, though, when they're not wearing ANY other pieces of the set. *shrug*
And yes, atm, I'm gimp, don't look at my SAM coz I'm stuck on CoP 8-3 :\ Stupid pots.

Yep, being on PS2 or XBox definitely gimps the game a lot.
Can't make sets that swap gear at the beginning-mid-ending of a cast but oh well.
What bugs me the most is the fact that gear swaps on XBox aren't 100% reliable. Sometimes I might lag out and find myself WSing in an abortion between TP and WS sets.. not nice, not nice, gimp. Sure you can >_> Do I recommend it? Hell no, but you can. My BLM macros were awful back before I swapped to Windower macros.
I know it's possible, but I lag too much to do that well enough. Not to the extent I could if I played on PC at least.
I do swap what I can in mid cast, but for the most part I prefer to make sure the macro will be loaded on "ok" stuff, rather than in "wtfOMGwhy" gear while attempting to equip "perfect" gear.

Oh don't get me wrong, I agree completely. It's a huge hassle and can potentially slow you down. When you consider how godawfully slow the natural macros are, nevermind lag, you're also quite likely to run into issues with gear not swapping because you hit the next button a fraction too soon.
I just have these deeply embedded memories of hitting something like 6 macros just to cast a T4 spell and then go back to idle gear, nevermind when day/weather were active or when I wanted to use Uggy Pendant D; DARK TIMES

I just have these deeply embedded memories of pressing something like 7 buttons just to cast a T4 spell and then go back to idle gear, nevermind when day/weather were active or when I wanted to use Uggy Pendant D; DARK TIMES
You're a freak did you know that~?
Seriously though, the DNC stuff lagged so badly, and people died, and it was horrible, I couldn't imagine hitting multiple things. .____.;

The wonders lag will do when combined to XBox.. I once found my char half naked when going from TP to WS and back to TP too fast lol

Not sure if anyone has touched on that bit of it(in this thread >.>), blanked out all of this whm talk, but I rage when people say they don't need to change gear to be good. Yeah, okay. Is it even possible to play the game without using macros? Yes. A guy in my LS never used macros. Or gear swaps. The running joke was that he had no idea how to write one, and was too old to try to learn.
Sometimes playing a mage job I actually type out commands for spellcast, generally runs quicker than finding the macro.

Upgrading from regular macros to windower when I moved from ps2 to pc was great though. Freed up so much space I was unsure what to add to fill up the empty spaces. XD

Actually I only really do it on a mage job since I'm often dealing with multiple targets, and it's just easier me to type a player name than find them in the party list.
All about those macros on DD, where timing is crucial for staggering/skillchaining.

I'm starting to realize how horribly over used this word has become on the official forums and here maybe. I could never get away with bring this to attention there.
Being gimp would imply that under equipped, and statistically inferior to an average character build. Basically under performing at generally every level. Or so I'd assume that. But apparently being 100% or even 110% capable in both skill and equipment instead of going at say 150% means you're gimp. I don't understand that.
I've heard this tossed around so many times. Don't have a rajas ring? Gimp. Not using a particular subjob. Gimp. Don't have trial staves? Gimp. It doesn't matter if well geared above the average player it seems. If you don't have or don't use or don't play like some of these people say you should, you're 'gimp' end of story.
It's like calling a person you disagree with a troll simply because you disagree with them and refuse to acknowledge they have a legitimate difference of opinion. Or being called a noob even though mistakes happen and some people do actually learn from them. It's pretty ridiculous now that it's tossed around so much. It's usually big words that people shouldn't use if they don't understand what they mean.... but for small ones like that... meh.
