Yes, we all know what teh perfect party set up is. So, here'e what you do. You take the idea of that perfect party and forget it! Yes this is going to be a rant. so if you don't wanna read another rant then stop now.
So, here is what happens. I have a nice party set up. WHM BLM PLD RNG WAR(me), was missing a RDM or BRD. Yes, It was a cookie cutter party if i would have found a RDM or BRD, but I know there wasn't one avable when I started the party. So I get the rest togeather thinking maybe one will pop up, but it didn't, so oh well.
I make a simple sugestion to the rest of the party. Get another DD. That idea is completly rejected and people started to disband. SO back to seeking for a party for hours again.
Think about it... You want a RDM or BRD to help teh mages get MP back faster to cut down on down time. Now drop teh RDM or BRD and add another DD. More damange done to the mob at a faster rate measn less down time. It may not be as great, but IMO slow exp is better than no exp.
I am so sick and tired of n00bs like that. Yes, that's right, all you that think you have to have the perfect party are n00bs!! Rate me down or whatever you must to make yourself feel better, I don't care.
This comes up for more reasons than that tho. I have seen friends of mine take a wanted job and lvl it to 50 or 60 in a matter of about 2 months or so give or take. I have been working on my WAR for over a year. I have good gear, I always use food, I am very open to party needs (ie changing subs or what not), ect. But, I'm not one of the "1337" jobs.
Well just wanted to get that out there, and I didn't think trying to shout all this in jeuno would work very well. People, please for crying out loud, be more open with your party set ups. I know I speak for many people (those not playing the "1337" jobs)when I say this. We are tired of sitting in jeuno or farming for hours with that little green (or red in most cases) dot next to our name. Give them a try now and again, you may be suprised.
