the falling standard of FFXI players

This year, I’ve noticed a lot of players performing poorly. I don’t usually complain because it’s usually 1-2 players int the PT but just this time, it’s 3. I don’t mind if it’s in the early lv20s or 40s but at lv60, you should be familiar with your job and at least eat foods!

I had an EXP PT last night on my PLD60. Setup was DRK WAR PLD RDM BLM SMN.

DRK wore AF Body and Legs. Those are pretty useless in the ATT/ACC department unless you’re soloing stuff. He didn’t eat food too. Not even a cheap bream sushi. So his WSes ended up missing most of the time. I think I saw only 5 distortions throughout the 2 hour PT. To make it worse, he kept using Absorb-CHR which pretty much doesn’t help in anything at all and is just a waste of MP.

When asked why he used Absorb-CHR, he says it’s because it worked. (I think he meant unresisted)

I gave him advice: If you can’t afford haubergeon, at least get some food like Bream Sushi which is cheap accuracy food. Don’t use Absorb-CHR because it doesn’t help at all.

He didn’t respond like a noob but more like a newb. Which is the only good thing about him I guess.

But then he casted Absorb-CHR a few battles later again! orz

I guess DRK AF Body didn’t make him look cool enough and so he wanted more CHR.

 

Next is the JP RDM. LV60. WITH A LEVEL 10 BLM SUB JOB!

Halfway, he fell asleep and did not respond.

Throughout the PT all he did was refresh everyone.

I examined him because I suspect he was one of those RMTs. But I guess not.

He had no earrings and wore lv10 boots and a bunch of other lv30 stat-less equipment. orz

 

The WAR too had a slightly underlevelled SJ. He had Japanese in his macros but I have a good feeling it’s just another NA/EU player pretending to be JP.

/sigh
