    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm sitting here debating whether or not I should resub at the end of this cycle to login each day and do my dailies/eso to keep my gear current, or if I should just wait for another big patch/new game. It feels more and more like a chore with each passing day. The people I run into lately have...

    You're absolutely right. When I was a bit younger, I could put up with more shit like this, because the amount of things that actually mattered in my life outside of gaming were very minimal and trivial to say the least. Not to mention, the amount of quality gaming material was limited at best...

    I hit the, 'been there done that' cap again. Log in to do my dailies now and can't bring myself to spend any extra time after that. Unless there's a fuck-ton of new non-raid content soon, and I'm pretty sure there won't be, I'll probably give it a couple month break for new content to come out...

    Yeah, I'll have to try that again and be quicker about it this time.

    I've been wanting to make a character on Balmung to check the server out, but that has become an impossible task since they removed the auto-logoff feature and every fuckhead just idles in the game world while they sleep, work, etc. It's 5AM EST during the week and both Gilg and Ballsmung are...

    So you get 4 drops per floor in alex normal now instead of 2. This should make things a lot smoother for people.

    True, but most of the time I only find out that I can't get 10k after I pick the only possible lines that could give 10k or the 7k, which there is usually one or two for me. I used to use it every time, but now I rarely use it once in 3 tickets. I also got the 10k 2 times 3 days ago, one 2...

    This is alright, and I use this sometimes when I can't find a winner. You don't really need it though most of the time if you try and get the 10k, just always open the middle result, and try and open lines with 1, 2, or 3 in them. 7, 8, 9 are also high winners I think if you can't find any...

    Do that shit every day. For the first week or two I didn't get shit, then a couple of days in a row I got 10,000 MGP twice in the same day, and a few more in the coming days. Also, if you can time your visits so they happen around the time when GATES occur, and if you get a decent one (fuck you...

    Seeing all these bots in north than is making me sad. I'm working my ass off to level these characters and they can power through that crap because they don't even have to be at the PC while they level. Gonna report you fuckers until you're banned.

    Anyone else doing as bad at getting their alex drops for the week as I am? Got one out of four so far.

    I think it's all the competition for Fates/Hunts, and the endless North Than fate grinding some people are doing that make some of them a little bitter. I've experienced a bit of this myself. The endless north than fate grind can be pretty soul crushing if you don't take constant breaks.

    I'm starting to get the feeling I gave up quality for quantity by coming to Gilgamesh. Like going from that mom and pop store that sells really cool stuff in limited amounts to the super Walmart down the street where everything is sold, but most of it is cheap Chinese shit. Maybe my opinion will...

    I'm not even talking about casuals. It's the ones who can't dodge AOEs to save their lives, and I mean the simple ones. The people who keep making the same mistakes after you explain the fight to them 3 times, mark everything up, and make every mechanic as simple as it can be. The summoners who...

    It seems like the quality of players in duty finder HW dungeons (50-60) is falling quite a bit. Haven't had this much trouble before with Library runs. It's like every new group is lacking. Also, thanks for the shout outs for the FCs, will look into them.
