The Top 10 players on my server, based on an All round Skill or just Epicly strong on one class would be...
Spirachub - Best BRD, WHM, SCH on the server.
Fthis - The only DPS on Cerberus to beat me reliably before I got a Mythic. Never got to test after that.
Taint (yes *** you Altima, he was not only Very Good, but also not a collosal *** and very modest about it, so he wins even if you did beat him, which screenshots or it I'll just state I beat you as a Melee BRD and you can't disprove it!!!)
Maeldiar - Always up for something rather than AFKing in town like a zombie.
Matthious - Great team player, good SCH, better DPS
Doctorugh - The ***this guy pulled on COR and DNC was Stupid. his BLU sucked hard though (Suck It Doc!)
Flaming-something - Good SCH, BLM and .... GEO?
It's hard to quantify what I class as a good player, some are not always the best, but made me enjoy playing with them which mattered more to me than if we killed something 5 seconds sooner.
and Of course!
My Old NNI Hit Squad where half the server gave us ***for "cheating" when 5 of us were on XBOX using XBOX chat and the only *** on PC was a SCH Lamp ***!
Good times.
@Kylos. If you ever tell people I'm helpful again I will force feed you Haggis.

Um.. I beat you with 1 hit.. and you had stoneskin and a body boost!
My Old NNI Hit Squad where half the server gave us ***for "cheating" when 5 of us were on XBOX using XBOX chat and the only *** on PC was a SCH Lamp ***! Our group smoking NNI before the first brava wore off was epic as hell.

Never Forget.. SE's Meteor (Salvage Bans 1.0) That Wiped out The Dinosaurs of HNM Era......
Long Live Nikir (The Ultimate Hitler) and Mercury(MercuryX) LS on Phoenix
I. Naraku the last remnant member of your Linkshell that survived the Meteor Strike.../salute those memories..
Remember and delve back to the Day this Youtube Video was made and went viral in his name..
YouTube Video Placeholder
I definitely put my votes in to those guys (except the brood leader Nikir) for one of the most hard working HNM LS in existence.
Dilias (Best Main PLD)
Legolas (Best Main PLD)
Kin (Great Leader)
Baudelaire (The Best SAM back in that era and all around player that inspired me to become an excelling SAM by heart even today)
They took over whichever planet (Servers) whenever they landed on with EU/JP/NA/UK Coverage of all HNMs 24/7 on any server. They took over my planet (Phoenix) when I was a young taru and took me in as a slave. I grew close to their members and still keep in touch with some of them today.
Nikir has since been lost and never showed his face after the Salvage Bans... The others are leading a top ranking LS in FFXIV Masamune server atm.

Kinda sad I didn't see the name anywhere so far, but...
Archain. Don't even remember their server. They were by far the best THF in the original days of FFXI, was always extremely helpful, nice, and settled debates with numbers/SS's. Put up numbers I could only dream of at the time.

Kaeko/Kanican's name should appear at least four times on any list of more than 10 people. It's amazing that s/he and friends had nailed the numbers so precisely.
FFXI has the best enmity system of any MMO (most are just linear increases, and taunts command the boss to hate you most) and I loved to watch it work but it's amazing to me that they could see that there were two types of enmity and all the work that it took to math out.
And Enmity wasn't even close to the only thing they did.
The old windower team, the new windower team. Especially for improving the game without trying to break the game. It wasn't about fleehacking, it was about a game that broadcasts tp to every member of an alliance should show that tp to every member of the alliance. Waiting for your sc-partner's Ready Macro was stupid.
---
I think that's really what it has to boil down to. The users who have contributed to more than just their own gear. The people with thousands of additions/edits on either wiki. The people that researched. The people that learned weaknesses and shared the secret rather than hoarding it.
Defining the best performance of a [role] may be misleading. Maybe the Best Paladin Ever, was only Really Good but had a very attentive WHM behind him or her.

Ironguy/Iarumas for being the most dedicated and outstanding sam I've ever played with.
Kryshna for being the best brd I've ever played with and one of the very few whms I trust to do their job. On top of that, also one of the nicest people I've met in this game.
Demetrios (shellholder of Nirvana on Pandemonium) for being pretty much the best pld I've seen in action.
Moody - badass blm!
Renzy for being good at all the jobs he played - and such a great person.
Dajociont, best war.
There's a LOT of other people that I consider good players too, but these are the ones that stand out to me and that I've actually played with at some point.
Ohhhh Tamoa you left Sano out of the list but included Moody. Someone going to get jealous! :P
Heh, you know, I feel like I can edit that list over and over and it would never be just right. I mean, I know Sano is a great cor, and we've done a lot of stuff in game together but he was very rarely on cor, you know?
A list like this is almost impossible to put together. There's the old era XI and the new era XI, what required skill back in 2009 isn't the same that required skill today, and almost anything can be soloed. There are people I know that are good players, but I haven't really done enough in game with them or known them long enough to actually witness it first hand. There are lots of people I think very highly of (you included), and I actually somewhat regret posting in this thread now, lol. It's impossible to make the list right without making it a very long list. :/

Lemming of Valefor was one of the most interesting and skillful players I ever did meet. Also a great friend. We had some good times. Check out some of his Ninja solo videos via the link below.

*** Conagh. I will never vote Conagh ever hes too french to garner my vote. Though that tarutaru from Hades/Midgard Disturbedmidget was pretty good =D I hear as was the entire linkshell ParadiseOblivien > Scrubs. People would never agree on a list, its way too biased and the choices are always going to be too personal.
It is a funny conversation to read through though. What Lei(Midgard) and Kalista(Hades?) for how rich they were? RMT or not, they had all the HQs long before anyone else even had the abj.

I suppose a BtL nomination wouldn't be appropriate without the guy who made the shell.
Lhexh was a major contributor when it came to leading the shell too, especially from the NA side.
By Gaugen 2016-02-20 08:31:13
Lol. This is a pure popularity contest.
By Ramyrez 2016-02-20 08:34:02
Lol. This is a pure popularity contest.
Which is why I've been super hesitant to put forth any names. Of the people named who were 1) good players 2) helpful to the community 3) known across more than one server and 4) not ***...
The only name I've seen and can confirm as accurate in this is Rukenshin.
There may be others, but he's the only one I can actually confirm. And even he had too much of a fanboy following to fairly gauge in some ways.
Edit: And I know enought to scoff alongside Floppy every time someone mentions Avesta.

Why be hesitant at all to comment? Half the thread is all about posting ideas of people they personally knew or liked to throw ideas at me, the other half seems to either not get the core objective of this or simply look way too far into it.
Personally i can easily say who ive learned from over the years but otherwise i'm standing from a complete non-biased point of view when it comes to the list itself. I welcome any and all ideas though! it's cool to see atleast one small portion of the community get together on touchy subjects and i'll hand it to you guys outside of Avesta being disliked [Good Old NA/JP Rivalry!] the thread is sustaining itself pretty well ide say.
I remember pixies too well being originally from Ramuh [Vlera] incase any old Ramuh heads see this. Wonder if Empire is still around too, would be interesting to speak with them again.
Anyways More suggestions people! And if anyone from the following LS's see this ide like to ask you guys some questions if possible
Eminence Of Lakshmi
Apathy Of Remora
Mercury Of Phoenix
Thanks Again For Your Time Everyone! First 10 people have been finalized. 30 more to figure out.

You misunderstood. As another poster who is also hesitant to name anyone, I got your objective. I just think this thread promotes elitism, pissing contest, solo superstar and trash talking, which is against my value of good player in ffxi to begin with.
Just look at how many "X Player suck" comments in this thread, you'd know what I meant by promoting trash talk and elitism.
Also when we talk about good players, players with strong solo video tends to stand out due to the "wow" impression solo video often gives, that's why so many solo video owners are being mentioned. Here is one example to demonstrate how solo ability always gives the viewer strong "wow" impression: I've received several "awesome" or "pretty crazy" comment every time I soloed an NM in this game, even on easy solos that doesn't require much skill . I have never receive the same comment when I "do my job" in the pt that helps everyone, which is too keep everyone hasted, cured, buffed, keep NM debuff up, make decisions on what buffs and play style to use, and communicate with the party to deal with any issues that we may face. Since FFXI is an MMO, wouldn't ability to play as a team better skill than solo skills? But solo skills just gets an unfair "wow" impression and being praised all the time, while the ability to keep the pt working as smoothly as possible gets ignored. Basically it's like promoting anti team work.
Then again, it's your thread, not like I can interfere how you wanna do it. I'm all for promoting helpful players to the community, it's just that I think thread like this isn't anywhere close to create a better community, more like the other way around. And I think you should think twice about how you do it and how it will affect the community. It may not be as positive as you think.

Hey Everyone!
After playing FFXI for quite sometime and never seeing an idea being done like this anywhere else i wanted to post this as an idea for the community to take part of. Multiple gaming communities out there have done something similar and i think the old heads of FFXI and new school peeps can have fun with this one.
The Concept
40 players from different servers and different Era's of FFXI get thrown on paper. Everything counts! from simple things such as gear to personal achievements ingame such as [Solo Expertise/Speedruning event's I.E. Dynamis or Nyzul Isle/Job Devotion/Ballista Expertise/Best Social Linkshell on server or even Best Endgame LS] EVERYTHING counts and gets added equally.
Diverse List
The Final List will be as diverse as possible. Meaning the entire list will have different players from different servers that go as far back as the beta days. Also different jobs from across the board I.E. Best Red Mage/Best Blu etc etc, everyone will have a specific reason why they deserve the specific spot.
Community Input
I want to see the FFXI community come together to really throw in some input as to who they think deserves a spot on the list and why. It can be a home server hero they remember or even a friend, it doesn't matter. However please leave any drama associated with a person aside, i would like to see fair debates being tossed around but anything extreme should be left out.
Digging In The Crates
I'm really digging in old FFXI blogs/Forums/Youtube Vids/Etc Etc to find any info about you. If you're on this list then chances are I've researched all i could about you. I've also been on 8 different servers now so chances are some of the names that are here I've either met you ingame or heard about you through friends on different servers.
How will this be showcased?
Either by video series or by twitter post's. I'm not exactly sure which one i'll do just yet however just incase of either, below is links to where the final showcase will happen
Youtube Channel
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHI5SR8-mGCJnqIJNZR0jQA
Twitter Handle
https://twitter.com/Vlera_FFXI
Conclusion
FFXI Is a game most of us grew up with through the years. I really want to see the community come together on this project and have fun with the small debates. Any person you think would be good for the list or deserves a spot or even honorable mentions, please post the names here and any links to info i can view on this person.
Or if you want to send me a /tell ingame with any recommendations

Let's have fun everyone! Thank You!
