I am just not having a bunch of luck this week in FFXI. Even considered throwin in the proverbial towel a few times, just on account of how often this sort of week comes along now. :P

I honestly don't know if its only our server or what. I can't imagine it is, since Kujata isn't the biggest one out there population wise. I do believe we have the highest JP population at least compared to EN/NA pop. Anyways just seems like whatever I get an idea to do, it just goes so annoyingly wrong. And not through any reason I can avoid or help myself, but usually due to someone else being a stupid jerk. >3

Well, I'm not much of a people person, but I do go outta my way to help folks. Just usally end up coming back to haunt me. For example, when I was leveling cookin in Sandy a few weeks ago I saw this guy asking for help with getting his airship keys. Well I was about done, and Sati wasn't doin nothin so I mentioned it and Sati went to help. By the time I got geared up on Sil's thief they were already done. End of story. Or so I thought. Now this same guy has been bugging me in tells to get his dragon fight done. He sent tells back to back while I was bazaaring the other night. Then came out to where I was bazaaring and started shouting for help. This was in Port Sandy... not the best place to shout for help.

Moving on...

Been trying my hardest to get SAM leveled to subjob, but dammit. You'd think with levelsynch there wouldn't be so many lolparties, even pre 30. But that misconception flew way out the window. I just have no luck. For a while me and Sati had DRK and SAM near abouts each other, but he got a pt early on today and got his DRK done with. In a couple days. Me? I keep getting the pts with the people who have no idea what they are doing. Most recent party had a friggin leech for a RDM. I swear, I wish there was a spell or costume effect you could give other people that would turn them into a cute little leech. At least then it wouldn't be so frustrating to look at them standing there. Doing nothing. Every battle.

They need a barleech spell. So if you cast it, it automatically boots people like that out of the pt.

And into another zone. Preferably a zone with big nasty things that like to eat leeches. Messily. With a lot of crunching and delevelings.

Yeah...

So what was with that update anyway? I was hoping they fixed Eald'narche's stupid robe. I actually sent in a bug report because it annoys me. And Kyleet might get AN done someday. And Sillabub can go get her first Zilart cutscenes now if I wanted. But I don't want to be mooned by Kam'lanaut's kid brother. That's just ew. Tried to ask for help getting it done on ffxidats, and gary offered a quick fix which didn't work. Looked fine till Eald moved, then stuff just started orbiting where it ought to of stayed in place and his shoulder was half broke and moving at a retarded angle. Missing weights is all it was but I don't know that much about DAT skeletons to fix the ones that are wrong, since there's no working model to reference. The original Eald'narche is just flat out missing hexes from his mesh. For crying out loud, fix his robe SE! Stop the mooning!!

Besides that tho I've also had to deal with AH whores. I've been wanting a tournament lance for a while now but they keep getting bought up by AH bots (I swear they must camp it, cause it'll be there and gone before it even registers on the AH site). They don't even use it, they just NPC it cause people stupidly put it up on AH for 10k when it npcs for 14k. All it would take is someone putting it up for 20k to stop, but nope. And that is indeed a Kujata problem cause I checked a few other servers and the tourney lances are bought by people who seem to be using them. But if you look at our server, tourney lances keep getting bought by the same 2 or 3 people. Frustrating...

Add that to the fact that it seems like everytime I get a rice harvest and go out to fish some sole and make a batch or 3 of sushi, I seem to have my timing right on time with a mule or rmt or something I dunno what he is, but they have them unpronouncable names... that undercut it by 1 or 2k a stack. That's just stupid. They sell for what they sell for even if you put it at the flat price.

All in all, my ffxi passion is dwindling pretty bad lately. Been playing Tales of the Abyss more. So yes, it is THAT bad, because I actually went through the trouble of hooking up the ol' PS2 and wrassling it into actually reading discs again.

But it's worth it! Just for Jade! :3
