Ohhh lol. My bad
My next question was going to be whether CoP completion was pre- or post-nerf. The first nerf, mind you. Not the one this past summer.

I completed CoP after the very first nerf. Level cap was still in place. Mind you...I joined the game shortly before that nerf, so it's not like I had much of a choice
The last question was mostly a joke, but I appreciate your honesty.
You're quite welcome. I had heard that it was almost impossible before the first nerf, and people took pride in the fact that they had completed it before they did anything to it. But when I started playing, I was mainly focused on leveling my WHM. I wasn't even aware of the CoP story line, much less knew what a nerf was lol.
I don't remember what exactly the original nerf adjusted. I think it messed with Snoll a bit, among other things. I do know that I never felt that CoP was particularly hard post-nerf. My big problem was never winning the fights (that was rarely a problem), but rather because I quit and rejoined with such alarming frequency for my first few years of FFXI, I never got around to doing CoP until long after everyone else had finished it. I could just never get anyone to actually do the missions. I missed out on a static with some friends, and in the end I just waited until I could solo/duo my way to Sea access.
That's understandable. Actually, I was in a Qufim party and got the initial cutscene by running into the tower. A few people picked me up and got me as far as the promies, and I had to do that myself by shouting. Once I got to Ouryu though, I stopped. When I joined my first real social ls, this guy ended up building a static and I went with them as a SMN. The fights weren't hard, and actually, I recorded some of the main fights and put them on youtube with commentary from us. After that...we continued going through the rest of the expansions and finished all of them except WoTG, which I never had an interest in anyway.
For me though, it was the exact opposite. When we were doing our static, we had people trying to wiggle in because NOBODY had completed it. Now though, almost everybody has done it, so it's hard to find help.
Not completing Wings of the Goddess is probably the only regret I have about quitting the game when I did. It was really good.
The last fights were pretty cool. The ending was ok.

Really? Bummer. I felt like it was building up to being pretty epic.

I started playing again after I got an XBox 360 and I've been soloing up to 50 with different jobs and doing the little quests before venturing into the higher levels (something I've never done before). If anybody still plays, it'd be fun to team up.
I'm on sylph!
But I'm inactive while playing FF14. I will definitely return later this year though.
Oh yeah, I haven't updated my info in forever either. I stopped playing in January this year and at that time i had war whm drg sam thf dnc smn and mnk at level 95. Not really super good gear, but enough to get by. Some jobs are more gimp than others. Monk is one of the gimpest of them all, and apparently the one that's stuck showing on the FFXIAH site cause I can't log in to change it.
