And perversely if Kalico had been slightly more compassionate and less insensetive then I would agree with what he is saying but I do generally ally with that point of view.

lol I know I can, it would just take a while. I'll wait til I level RDM to bother with it.
...actually wait, Poison works on him right? I could probably kill him in ~40 minutes since Blood of the Vampyr is up.

Not sure. /NIN would be safest, but if I could get away with /SCH that would be ideal.

Just glancing at equip history I can tell you Dramanue couldn't pull that method off. Also yay, Poison does work.

a ls back? (don't know what this means) No
o.O;
I just don't feel accepted in the game itself. Three or four people being nice to me on the forums is nothing compared to the thousands of people who care very little for not just myself, but others.

Just a note, back in the day, I had studied Avesta's videos and came to the conclusion that it would take close to a miracle in order for me to even come close to matching his skills. I can easily do all the actions, macros, etc, but as far as equipment goes, I wouldn't be able to pull it off.

sounds like you have self worth issues in general man, even if your gear is ***, do the best job you can, even if people arent nice to you, if your as nice as you can possibly be, then fcuk them, if they dont like you, screw them, if they like you, like them back, dont dwell on crap, its just a waste of time.
inferiority is a negative emotion and so is superiority, everyone is on an equal playing field, you just gottta stand on the field and play the game, dont be a girl.

OP, it just sounds like you're whining. All these skilled players are offering you assistance and advice but you just seem to keep making excuses for yourself =( Nightfyre seems ready to go duo that thing with you right now...

this is all so sad, you really need to get over yourself. i have to assume its because you play the "poor me" role that you have a hard time finding friends. as was said before, very few people want to be around a person with your attitude. i deleted 90% of my first post because i didn't want to come across as an ***. now this is on page 5.. and i regret that. lmao.

I agree with this. You can't expect a whole server to stop what they're doing and talk about your woes. Go be a badass.

Sorry Night, I was camping Clawfisted and he popped then raped me dead when I wasn't looking, yeah I've been thinking of getting both a phyis- and magic- set, and I'm sure I could get it at least 50-60% solo. To actually pull it off I'd need a lot of luck, and you forget, I don't have atonement, I'd probably use Earth or Primate and spirit taker since chiv is 10 minutes -_-
edit: if you want to BLM and PLD it I'd be willing to for lulz~

I'm not "ignoring" their offers of help because I'm unwilling to go, it is because I need to be at work in like 20 minutes. I'm sorry if I mislead anyone. I get the feeling I should have stated that point in the beginning. My schedule is frantic and I'm on a cruddy rotating schedule which is not static in one bit aside from closing 90% of the time. I'm also scheduled off some days, but as soon as I think I have a legitimate day off, they call me in because some idiot is hungover and got arrested. And no, I don't work in a bar... I work at Gamestop.

Shiva.Flionheart said: I wouldn't worry about Kalico. He acts all tough and then nearly cried when he gets proven to be wrong over and over again.
He was nearly crying in a thread about Magic Accuracy. it was hilarious. I remember this...and he still refused to admit defeat when proof was placed before him...5 to 1, he /wrist that night..

And no one said you were ignoring the offers. I just simply said you were making excuses for yourself, which is what you continued to do.

Fenrir.Mtmoogle said: Yo Night ill do climbs w/ u!! Awesome, thanks =D That puts at 4/6 at the moment, will check with lsmates and then fill the last two spots with whoever needs that we know/can pick up.
I've been playing (and I use that term in the loosest form now) since FFXI's PS2 release. In my time I met many awesome people, many jerks, made many friends, and lost many more. In the past year or so, my activity in Vana'diel has dwindled to little more than just paying for the subscription. I ponder and wager with myself whether I should pick up my character from his Moogle grave and start playing once more.
I don't feel as I felt in the beginning. I miss the exploring, the feeling of starting up once again. Many years ago there was no hurrying to get out of Valkurm except to explorer new areas, and now people can't wait to get out of any area they're in. I miss "the good, old days" and I fear that's one of the main reasons I've lost my interest in the game. There are no more (and I can't honestly find a better word for this) "virgins" to the game.
It is filled now with elitists who point and /laugh whenever someone with a single piece of bad equipment joins a non-endgame, normal leveling party. And that's where I'm at. I'm not elite. I don't have elitist equipment and I probably never will. For the most part, many people are elitist and in a way, I fear I may become one if I ever do get nice, sparkly equipment. I keep thinking to myself, over and over and over again, sometimes to the point that I keep myself up at night, that I never obtained Charlamagne's sword, the Joyeuse. I had dozens of people say they would help me, but when it came down to it, I just never received any help, mainly because they were busy with their own things. And in a way, I felt bad even asking because I knew they were busy. I don't want to be a burden on others, a bother, a thorn at another's side. I want to enjoy playing, and I want those who play with me to enjoy doing so as well.
My updates run every time there are updates, and my controller is still firmly attached to my PC. I still have all my macros, and even to this day, I still refer to my online personas as Dramanue. My facebook profile states that "I am the red mage", and I still strive to own everything Squaresoft. But what's the point? I still don't have the Joyeuse. I'm an utter failure, and may never be as good as the other rdm's that crawl around, laughing at others. When I was invited to LS's, I did get compliments, I was told that I was a good rdm, but who am I to believe them? Am I just too brutally honest with myself? Or am I just another jerk who works in reverse, at an auto-hypocritical level?
I don't know. I really don't know any more. Should I stick around and level those final 24 levels to 99? Perhaps by then someone might see me fit to receive the sword of Charlamagne... Who knows what destiny has befitted for this red mage...
