Till then I level it to 10 in my free time (currently 36MNK and rising fast...)
Yearg ? From Fenrir ?
I will shed some light onto the reasons why, first up FFXI is an MMORPG, there are many pc gamers who got into this genre without having any past interest or experience with the non online FF games. There is some pretty big changes from this vs the others, the first being that FFXI while good in its time ( and still somewhat ok imo ) is primarily based on two things because of the real human player base and because of the challenge lvl SE implemented into the game.
This like it or not causes greed and forced socialising with many people who you will both love and hate, sadly it really does not mix in a pure enjoyment level. On top of that you have little high school politics going on ( aka drama ) and linkshells at end game being at war or simply hating other linkshells and all the internal problems they have when it comes to getting gear.
There are plenty of jobs in FFXI and they all have their good and bad points, some being better then others depending on how hardcore the players are, bard for example is normaly picked fast by the vets because vets honestly dont want to play with half noobs and half vets when they can make killer parties to xp grind for their 75 sub jobs they need fast because their ls leaders demand this crap end game for obvious reasons.
Drk and Drg are FUN jobs and people like to play it because to alot of people being a melee DD is alot more fun then sitting there being the best ( or one of the best ) DD by casting nukes over and over and over without doing much else other than maybe throwing some cures and those debuffs. It gets boring very fast just like whm and brd, for some people. You have to understand that not everyone wants to play a whm, brd or nin, nor does everyone want to be a tanking war nin either, sadly the community base and its tactical habits have forced these mindsets into people, it all becomes the same old party setup to get max xp per hour and blah blah blah, now dont get me wrong I liked fast xp myself and I took brd to 75 along with drk also and I even took war to 56 ( it was my first job ) and had most of my other subs all at around 25-37.
FFXI is not a game where the average person can decide to pick a job they like and not go through hell because of picking that job, I hate this and hated it since the day I joined on ps2 release, I loved cecil as a Drk in FF4 and was set to become a drk and thats just what I did, I took it very seriously and had the best gear I could buy, using sushi all the time, snipers and macro in str and int gear for my GS and Scythe WS, even macroed in my relic af armor for solo stuff and sometimes my mb after my spinning slashes and I had alot of sky drops also because I also took brd to 75 ( which I must admit I enjoyed up till around 52 merits then it became boring in krt ), I had fun every min of playing drk and it was truth be told the only time I honestly did enjoy playing ffxi, I helped many a noob and never got tired of slaughtering mobs, it never got boring.
However after going through cop and doing sky and hnm crap for months the game really became stagnant to me.
I have no regrets about my years on FFXI, I did it all my way and did not give a [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] about what anyone thought or did, I will admit I went into the game and used everyone I met because I knew everyone else was doing the same, I knew the only way I would get all the kick ass gear for my drk and gil etc was by playing brd to 75, getting people to kiss my ass and invited me to end game shells that I could also use to beef up my guy more, and you know what ? it godamn worked! I even stole a shair manteel from a pos in my ls who screwed alot of people over and yes I did sell it with my character to IGE when I left the game, which I promptly spent on FFX International and X-2 along with other cool imports like mark of the wolves and last blade, and I dont give a flying @$!% what the backstabbing greedy two faced community on any server thinks about that because thats what you have to do to get ahead in the game, unless you decided to kiss everyones ass so you can beg them to help you later, both ends lead to the same crap.
You said it yourself Yearg, its looked at as the blacksheep, so with so many people having these stupid ideas about others and what jobs they want to play, its no wonder FFXI is a craphole of scumbags backstabbing everyone, if you rag on people and give them hell when they are paying monthly for a game they enjoy and a job they enjoy, you think those people are going to suddenly all cave in and go whm or blm and say drk, drg etc sucks ?
That would be the conforming attitude right ?
Well I will close this by saying:
$%^& FFXI, I was the most nasty ass kicking SOB drk fenrir will ever see, I did what I wanted, took what I wanted, told people where to godamn go when they deserved it and I still had the time of my FFXI life while STILL gaining gil, items, finishing cop before many many ls even got past proms and....I did it my way.
Vondor
And to you fellow dark knights, keep on killing cause thats what we do best!

CVFreak, it's attitudes like yours that cause the problems you say plague FFXI in the first place. Congratulations.
Heh, I don't notice any of this. You kids are so silly with your e-attitude.
