just started a several month break from ffxi

i'm not burnt out on the game

I guess i just don't like it

it holds so many of my favorite things video games can give

beastmaster, bonecrafting, tanking, pvp

I just find so much wrong with the game it really stops me

segs sortie dynad all are terrible in my opinion

cp/ep m.lvls all terrible

crafting mats on ah selling +1s selling fish terrible

I liked just logginy my char in to chat with ls

but I didn't even like to do that several weeks before my break

the race change was very cool

but it literally only fixed so much other than that it's basically like nothing changed

if you played a female char you switch to a male and now a male that's the biggest change female to male or male to female

at this point I don't even care about ffxiah rank and that was the best thing ffxi had going for it for over a decade

mostly it's all because I can't smoke and play

if i'm not smoking I just want to go fast fast fast to get to where I can smoke

ffxi is kinda slow in that regard

if I am high from smoking oh hell yeah i'll play a slow game and work at it I want to feel the burden and make my high last as long as possible

I literally cannot think of one good event in the game or a good event the game has had in the past 5? years

the last thing I did that was actually fun was raising a perfect chocobo rieurturbo

ep solo is terrible you have to be in such a specific spot in life to enjoy it

who the hell wants to do the same thing for 15 hours just to lvl up and have to do the same thing for 30 hours

it's like 1,700,000 ep at lvl 40 and ur getting like 40,000 ep an hour and that's supposedly good (solo)

everything feels like a major waste of time

and in fact unless you actually get something done it is a complete waste of time

it's like because the game so so full of wasted time and long sell time

you expect so much more for the time you put in

if I play a month I expect 300m

that's 10m a day

end up only making 3.333m a day 100m a month and I don't even want to play

100m in a month is so small it's not even worth it to play

and if I took a guess over all the playerbase 100m is probably pretty decent

but it isn't lol

and there's no events you can do to even make that besides mercing or crafting

for the last several months

I felt the best way to make gil was to do nothing and sit on what you had

because to go out and do any event is a waste of time almost 100% of the time

spamming the same thing over and over for a chance at 5 7 10m isn't fun

you have to be high to enjoy something like that

and that's a entire month of doing something on repeat and you may only make 7m if you get the drop once

crafting lets say you need a stack on moonbow stones it'll have sales history of 15m that literally just happened that day or the day before then you go to buy and they want over 22m

then you don't look for a day like 2 days later and someone snipes a 15m

then it goes for a few more days and the person is buying at 22m

selling +1s if you don't undercut they don't sell

if you go over it never sells

if you just leave the market and let someone own it the price goes up

then you can undercut with the price up and usually get the last sell price

on a 15m item you put it up for 15m it won't sell only 1 sells every week or two week+

if you put for 14.2m it'll usually sell but it may not in the week

if you leave the market for a month or two it'll be at 17m then you can list for around 16.5 and sell

voidwatch is a waste digging is a waste pirates chart is a waste vrtra is never up farming mats is made damn near impossible

like for yggdreat bole I need to do the delve and I have the extra chars to meet the delve 3 person entry

but I have to do the adoulin missions to get a ki to get the alts into the delve area

okay i'm not going to do that lol

even if I can make hundreds of millions off of it

and camping vrtra is a waste because it's only dropping like 300k worth of mats it can take like 5 days to spawn how freaking stupid

oh and no nm is worth camping games literally got hundreds and hundreds of nms and none are worth a shit besides vrtra who 100% of the time ur getting like 300k

no one pvps and pvp is probably the most fun entertaining event in the entire game

somehow besieged is getting the most work done to it

and everyone is confused by that

I like brd I like bst I like digging even though it's a waste of time partying or soloing ep is a waste of time but it's the best thing the game has to offer even being a complete waste if you consider just making the 400m and paying for mlvl 1-50 I like bonecraft but it is so close to being a waste of time it's not even funny even with an escutcheon I love pvp no one does it I like pirates chart but it's a waste of time considering mkris drop rate and falling price I like killing vrtra it's never up I usually like chatting in ls but I don't like answering questions or talking about the game I like being silly in chat and talking about my cat salem

mastering all jobs seems like a waste i'll never play them and I don't even want to play to master them

and I could pay 15m and master them

building the useless relics seems 100% pointless even if it's just for ffxiah points it's not worth the gil spent

it's not worth playing to make the gil to get the ffxiah points

I'm at the point now a firmly believe this game is never going to get better

I've been holding on and I can clearly see

this game is never going to get better

and the people that enjoy it the very few of them all have something major wrong with them

somehow life is worse than playing ffxi so they choose to play ff11

look at all the people on ffxiah they're so freaking weird now

the most fun part of the game usually ends up being talking about food in ls chat

someone mention eating pork belly and you reply I eat menudo

most memorable ls conversation

I just wc

did you wash your hands

because you better not of washed your hands

I don't know why everyone thinks washing hands is good

then we're all laughing about how this guy doesn't want us to wash our hands after we go to the wc

I'm sorry but how stupid does it have to get to have fun in this game

I see youtube videos and i'm like "How bored does a person have to be to watch that one"

I feel exactly the same about every event in ffxi

I don't even feel wrong by saying ffxi is the most boring game out but it is also the best game out

somehow you pay however much you pay and all you do is stand there or waste time

i've never said it before

but the way they make things so much harder for better gear

is just freaking stupid

stop that shit eventually

any day now we'll quit building our char and gathering gear

and eventually have fun like we used to

but no it feels like it'll always be a harder foe and more gear to get that literally no one can do unless they run like a clan or multi box

it pisses me off that so many people do segs for gil

and what they get 2.5m tops

freaking give 2.5m for ballista and scale all the moves to be appropriate like 60 cap is for the most part

bring back hnms have pvp drop gil like segs add nms with drops that actually sell

who cares if it's a lvl 15 nm that drops a bis 119 mlvl 50 item 

that's what this game needs right now
