Does complaining ruin the game?Follow

Now lets think about this, I have alot of rare/ex items I cant really hold onto and space is becoming a pain, we ask ourselves this question, who is to blame gil sellers or complainers?


So far I notice complaining has gave us, rare/ex on items, mpk rule which sucks, goblin bounty hunters taking up space in some good camps, what do you think? and who do you think is to blame? And tell me which part of the mpk rule sucks? Remember these are questions. I asked this before on all forums, but they dont like to hear opinions I guess.

Yes. Yes it does.

Let's take your Ra/Ex item idea. It cuts down on space, is harder to obtain, and in general screws up the economy. Looking at these draw-backs, I think I'd rather go back to the days of old.

Also, look at the RMT situation. Before this nonsensical Ra/Ex item tyrade, the RMT mainly stuck to their beastmen stronghold NMs and the lower HNM types, such as Roc, Simurgh, Serket, Bune, etc.

Personally, I'd rather go back to the old days. Competing with RMT at valuable NM/HNM camps, killing crabs and pugils on the beaches of valkurm (w/o a PL), and getting drops that benefit not only one person but a group of people, i.e. getting Strider Boots from Simurgh, selling and spliting the gil.

I agree, they've killed the joy.

yea but that was fun back in the day, especially in the jungles, 30 people dead at the zone cuz someone aggroed a gob and it came back and destroyed everything in its path. that was hot man lol i miss that ****.

i dont miss being logged on or mined on. lolapplegang. you can pretty much run freely in places and mine or log now all by yourself

it also sucks though because when i was on alexander server thats how i made my money. NMs like leaping lizzy and some woodworking. now i cant get those drops for money anymore. also i made money with synthing, which is harder to do now. i can synth status bolts all day for a profit, but whats the point when i list them at the going price of 3kish a stack only to have them sent back 3 days later cuz they r down to 2k a stack. its gotten good and bad at the same time. ive had to adjust on how i make money in this game, just glad i got thf to 75. it certainly helps

So I fail to see your point.

Asking simple questions, does not mean I was complaining.

Do I like some of the changes? The answer to that would probably be no.

Really, all I don't like about the changes are the rare/ex items. But, not in the sense of just how they take up space. I mean, I'm a full-time NIN and MNK with RNG on the way up, and I still manage to find space for everything at the right times. What I honestly don't like about the rare/ex items, though, is the fact that they drop off of all the NMs that a lot of people, myself included, used to farm. I mean yeah, I have nearly all of the random rare/ex items now, but I'm not gonna' lie, I'd love to at least have the option to be a selfish little a-hole and keep getting those claims and selling those drops after I've got what I wanted. lol

But what can ya do. It was possible to outclaim gilsellers, it's always been more than do-able. People just whined about it wayy too much. A severe lack of competence, and effort as well, is all there is to blame for the rare/ex items. And no, I don't want to hear about how you camped Mee Deggi or Argus or... whatever, for a month straight and only got one claim and no drop... 'cause if that's the case, sorry, but you suck lol

And yah, it wouldn't have been the greatest idea to have them make an attempt to ban gilsellers. I know of two friends whose characters have been banned for suspected RMT, one of which took this hit mainly due to the fact that he was Korean. And yeah, I am one hundred percent positive neither of them were. I'd put my character down on it.

And as far as the MPK patch goes... lol, I don't even know what changes they made to it, outside of mobs de-popping at zones. I've never bothered trying to MPK anyone on here :x

Complaining was very bad for this game. Square-Enix has always been accused of ignoring their fans, by their fans, when their fans didn't get what they thought they wanted. The end result is the current state of FFXI. Gilsellers are being banned in mass, which now results in a lot of complaining about the crashing economy. Certain jobs were nerfed so that other jobs would have more of a chance to be invited, which resulted in other jobs being invited less and more people clamoring to be the same jobs all the time. It removed one of the few sticking points of this game. The ability to be any and all jobs on the same character is a big selling point for this game (at least it was for me). Now that everyone has decided to pick up the same jobs, it removes the originality and fuction of the party system. Rare/ex items aren't as big a problem as it seems. It validates people that like to be called "NM hunters". But in that process, it removed a lot of people's chance to make gil. Remember the original complaint about NMs? When that complaint was addressed, it opened the floodgates for gilsellers. . . Which then opened the floodgates for noob players with high lvl jobs or tons of gil overnight. That opened the floodgates for said noob players to complain about gilsellers (same sellers that gave them their high lvl jobs and tons of gil) taking everything from them. Those complaints were addressed eventually, and now we're losing gilsellers, gil, items, and honest players that get caught in the gilseller fishnet.
