Maya's Rant (No need to read)
Posted On November 10, 2007 07:47 AM by Mayaseven

WARNING: Some bad language might be said in this.

 

Note: Usually my blogs are just comics for everyone to read and laugh.

 

Hello everyone, first off nobody needs to read this. I just had to rant about everything I seen in game for the past month that has been irritating me lately.

 

I’m tired of players boasting. You know the ones who think they are better than everyone or ones who have to shove things in your face. Some don’t even know they are doing it. Now when someone says to me…

 


Quote:


Mayaseven: Final, I just beat CoP 4-2.


(others): Hey Congratulations.


Mayaseven: Thanks^^


(player): What time did you do it in?


Mayaseven: Ummm… 24 minutes I guess.


(player): Well my party did it in 4 minutes, your party must have sucked.


Mayaseven: So what I’m just happy to advance.

 

…What the ???? Just be happy that the person won a mission. Who cares if my party had trouble and took a bit to beat the dragon. A simple Congratulations will do. No need to say we sucked, just be happy for us for winning. CoPs are hard.

 

Next… stop asking me why I don’t have any endgame linkshells and been playing for two years. Well I don’t have time to make it to all your events. Some of us have jobs and real life issues to deal with. I love this game a lot and I play it to get away for real life or just to relax from work. I have been invited to many Sky and Dynamis LS’s and I have been to a total of 4 Sky runs and 1 Dynamis run in 2 freaking years. Just because I can never make your events you have scheduled during the times I work. But when I do show up, I’m on time 30 minutes early and I stay for the whole dam thing. I see players all the time go to a pop NM event but then they got to go all of a sudden after they get a good drop but not stay to the end of a run to help their fellow LS members get their drop items. I was helping a LS do a O-hat run and seen this happen, I was not part of the LS but I stayed for 7 hours until it ended from start to finish and got 14 O-hats for various players. FYI, I didn’t get a hat, I was just there to help.

 

The dynamis lot thing is stupid. Well for me it is. When I did that 1 run I saw a WHM relic drop but I wasn’t allow to get it because I didn’t have any points. Ummm ok how the hell am I going to get points if you guys keep scheduling these events on the days I work? (It doesn’t matter what dynamis LS I join or was invited too join. They seem to be all the same.) Looks like I be at the bottom of the lot list forever.

 

I for one would like to see everything this game has to offer but how am I suppose to get there? Some people say that I should SHOUT for missions I need done. Well I tried that. I’m a little disappointed at some of the higher up players. Well I stopped shouting for help. Why? Well because of the shouts I get back, like this one…

 


Quote:


Mayaseven: (Windurst) (mission) 6 – 2 (Can you help me out?)


(player): Shut up Maya, Windurst sucks anyways.

 

…I was shouting for like an hour. All I got was a bunch of “LOL”s after that’s. How does a player advance in this game if people act like ass holes? It’s the same thing when I shout that I am teleporting people for gil. Some of you higher ups have forgotten how it was like as a lower level player. Forgotten your roots and become snobs. That is why I made the Silent Ghosts Linkshell. A linkshell with 90% mentors dedicated to helping all players when we can.

 

Now speaking of helping players, I usually have my Mentor flag up. I get all kinds of questions from all types. It makes me feel good to help someone new to the game. Well yesterday a player asked me this…

 


Quote:


(new player): Ummm… Hello mentor can I ask you a question?


Mayaseven: O.O oh hello… How can I help you adventurer? (Yes I talk like this to new players, they think I’m an NPC at times LOL.)


(new player): It’s too embarrassing to ask.


Mayaseven: Go ahead adventurer, I’m a mentor, I get all kinds of questions, don’t be afraid to ask.


(new player): Wow you seem very nice… do you want to have cyber sex?


Mayaseven: Is this why you joined this game, Mr. Adventurer?


(new player): I am always horny and thought this would be a good game to join.


Mayaseven: It’s not a question that is normally asked to a stranger.


Mayaseven (linkshell talk): Execute secret order 187 on player named (new player).


(new player): Well you did insist me to ask the question. Did I offend you I’m sorry.


Mayaseven: np just be careful who ask next time adventurer, go have fun.


(new player): Wow you are nice.


Mayaseven: I have to be adventure, I’m a Mentor. See you around…

 

…WHAT THE FUCK!!! I have not issued that LS order # 187 on a player in like 8 months. I don’t need ???ing new people joining our game just to have ???ing cyber sex. Get the ??? out of our game!! My LS order # 187 is the Silent Ghosts Banishment Order, telling all members to B-list a player and give no aid what so ever. Like if you see that player dead, he gets no raise, no cures, no help.

 

Anyway I go around helping people all the time. But sometimes I get screwed. Like this example… I’ll go coffer hunting solo and I run into another player who is doing the same thing. The player would ask me to help find because we are doing the same thing. I’m like ok we can help each other and the other player agrees. So we find the coffer and that player uses the key. Ok cool it my turn… but what the ??? does he do…warps. I ask why are you not staying to help. (no reply) It took me another 5 hours to find another coffer.

 

I guess another thing I’m sort of jealous about but should not be is how others get so lucky. Like new players already passing me up. I have a friend who just beat CoPs and he only been playing for 6 months and I’m still on CoP 4-3 and I’ve been playing 2 years now. Well Congratulations, but don’t expect me to shout for help so I can catch up. I simply don’t care anymore about story line even though I would like to finish them and get some uber gear. All I care about now is helping those in need of help. If any of you see me doing a mission anymore, it’s because someone asked the Silent Ghosts LS to help. The only other linkshell that recognizes our help is the all SMN LS, Shikigami Weapon. Anyway thanks for reading if you got this far…

 

On a side note, my right foot is in pain in real life because I kicked my desk by accident which leads to this rant in the first place. My next blog is scheduled for December 26th, something to do with GM Santa…

 

This message will self destruct in 5…4…3…2…1…


BOOM!!

Damn, I'm sorry that you had to go through that crap. But Congrats on 4-2, and keep up the good work! Setting records is cool 'n all, but moving forward and making progress is what counts the most.

Far as that cyberin' n00b goes...wth?! Kinda cool your LS initiates a code system where, like Rusty said, filters out the douche bags from the people who truly need help.

Well, if you catch me on when i ain't busy, hit me a tell if you need something. BLUs ftw in CoPs! ^^

Yea I total understand. Ive gotten most of the same thing. Its one of the reasons i had to take a break for a few months. Your LS sounds great. Sounds like what me and my friend Bladerazor was trying to do, but went nowhere. Its hard to get people to help out in this game if your not in their little click. Im like you, have my Mentor on most of the time, awnser questions help out shouts when i can, BUT NEVER GET AND HELP IN RETURN. Why do the helpers never get help. Ive been tempted to jump servers to try to find a server with Less Arses, but it sounds like they are everywhere. In a way I kinda wish this game was PvP. I would love to go Kick some ArseHoles ARSES. Anyways thanks for letting me rant on your rant.

:gives Maya a big galka hug:


1: hope your feet feels better. of course Im sure you'd want to kick those people who were being R-tards. The pain would be worth it at least because you'd have brused them ;) hehe.


Noobs are just being that way because they use the internet as thier means to act superior where they are nothing without it.


2: You're a casual player like me and many others I'm sure. I too am not a part of the endgame grind, which would be nice, but its no rush to get there by someone elses pace. You go by your own pace and enjoy the game you've always wanted to.


3: people do forget themselves, how it was for them when they started at lvl 1 and seeking help. but take heart into the fact you have those, like you, who love helping others. im impressed at the way you have a system (code 187) to filter out the jackasses from the peeps who DO need help.


4: When it comes to people asking you for help and you are busy it is a pain when they complain about lack, there-of help. I usually explain to people why I can't and the LS im co-running atm is low populated but we try to help out as much as possible or just duke it out. I myself can only do so much and people know it and there are others who can help as well, a hell of a relief for me, beleive me lol :-P


5: do not be discouraged at yourself because others are surpassing you. patience is a virtue. I can't tell you the number of times I've been jealons or discouraged to where I was gonna quit the game because my RL friends and online players went far ahead of me. As you said and I agree upon, RL comes first. Hence, I have a good number of obligations to where I did or didn't have the time to play as much as my friends have.


Also, look at it this way. You have more experience at pace than those who sped through to get to 75 just so they can become snobby "L337"s (no offense to the good and nicer players @75).  Btw, yes, I think the point system sux too for endgame (um, don't people realize that theres a system in the lotting called Quartermaster? dee dee dee lol).


I'm sorry for the /assist rant here. I just wanted you to know you're not alone in this matter. Hang in there.


I speak for everyone when I say you're doing fine in your own way on this game ;)


-Rusty
