Incredibly narrow minded individuals who, when they can't have things their way, will spout out just how moronic they are:
"Omg, wtf, a galka mage. Get a real job"
Listen tiny taru. He got his job to that high of a level and rank for a reason. He's damn good at what he does. If your only comeback is that, than I'd like to see every taru melee come over and kick your lil' behind for being such a close-minded idiot and for ridiculing someone who obviously can do a better job than your lazy self.
*sighs*
My my... I've been all riled up.
Ok first off this is about me, I'm the particular Galka Mage in question. Here's the full story that led to the "Get a real Galka Job"
I shouted in Jeuno this: (Mannakin Body) 500k~ (/no) (tax) (/tell)
Shortly after i recieved a tell offering 250k for it.
I said No thanks
then a reply of ok 300k
Then i said no thanks again
I was then told its not even worh 250k
I replied with really i sold my first one for 500k without a problem.
then i was sent a tell saying roughly: well my BF got his for 200k
so i said: well why didn't he give it too you?
after the short conversation the final tell was Get a real Galka Job welcome to my Blist.
Later on in the night i returned to Jeuno and began to shout the same as earlier.
this time i get a shout offer of 300k and i said no thanks
then he eventually shouts shouts (Galka) (Summoner) (no, Thanks) while i had /anon up since its the time i normally XP and i wasn't in the mood. Thus leading to believe this is the BF of the earlier Offer.
he then said well its not worth 500k you greedy bastards.(might be some adlib here i don't remember the exact coment but its the same effect.)
I said fine you spend the 100 seals it took me to get it.
Shortly after he got Ragged on by other people and it seemed to shut him up since him and his GF both were in Altep now instead of Lower Jeuno.

This goes both ways. I am tired of listening to ppl using the "Skillz > Equipment > Race" tirade. Some ppl kept trying to use their "skills" to justify their horrible race/job combo. They always assume that no one could play their jobs right. Therefore their crappy job/race combo is ok, because they got the "skillz".
No matter how good you are or what kind of godly equipment you have, you'll never beat another player with the same skill and equipment as you but with a better race choice.
Someone might have a galka mage. That's hardwork. This does not in anyways show that Galka mage comes even close to a Taru mage.
If you can't admit that Taru mage > Galka Mage, you've got issues.
As to this well I could Argue that Skills do make a better Player with you but what's the point in arguing a Fact. Yes i am a Galka Mage do i think i am the Uber Shet cuz i am? No, i would have origianlly been a Taru BLM why? simple its my favorite job and well Tarus are best Suited for this job. however i decided to try something diferent since the "Mage" in me was bored and wanted something so i chose Galka MNK(A galka Job if not thee job for Galkas by stats alone) but well it got borring and i found being a good MNK hard to do. So i leveled it to 30 and decided to try SMN(i wasn't gonna make a new character after i already worked on a perfectly good one) and well i liked it for all the options i was given.
That all being said I will give you that if i was a Taru i might be a better mage and well i might not be and here's my reasonings:
WHM - I know of no taru that can claim a record of 18 deaths from 96 Benidections. or let alone stand next to a gob after a Bomb Toss and not be scared for Divine Seal Curaga leading to death.
BLM - well i can be the typical Bad BLM in the sense that i can nuke all i want till i am out of MP and not worry about dieing at least not quickly. That being said i don't do this just i hate it when others do it so i don't see the point to spamming.
SMN - well i Bring the highest HP so much so i can free use HP-MP equip and still pull out a Earthen Ward + DS Curaga after a Bomb Toss or AoE without worring about dieing or to keep the WHM from having to do it.
Now none of that really means anything without the skill i bring to the table in a PT or anything else i do. Do i think i could play any mage job the way i do as a Taru? Hell No! why cuz while they rely on their giant MP to keep the excessive spells coming and getting ocassional aggro I rely on over time methods and the occasional heavy spells to keep my PT alive just fast enough to keep Chians going.
The point is a Taru Mage with my Skill could do a better job becuase they have other resources to pull from.
Before you flame me thinking i am trying to be all high and mighty well all of these points are derived from other's opnions from PTs be it good or a lagitamit critasium.
Merodi's whole Point is simple they were being Racist it has nothing to do with the fact i do my job well enough to earn that respect you say i get cuz i'm a "Galka Mage".
As to the Original Point of this thread; It sucks when you need to pull out 28 Carbuncles to solo a Vocanic Gas in Ifrit's Cauldron because it won't be nice and blow up.
