Incoming /rant / QQ thread / Whatever else you're going to call it. Cba to edit screenies so I spoilered them.

Okay so.. See a shout for aby-kon and figure what the hell. Get invite, and stood waiting about for 90mins. Finally get to the maw and see this..



And



Now, as you can see here, myself and a couple others try to correct them, not in an elitist *** way.. but in a "We don't want a shitty run" way. Completely ignored us and carried on. I was considering warping already, my only regret is that I didn't.

Then, about 30mins into the run or so, the leader then kicks the thf (Who had done 2-3 ruby lights or so, this screenshot was taken after, as I didn't click at the time.)




Once again, tried to reason with the leader about their... Ahem.. Strategy.





5 minutes later, another person drops. Their main reason for kicking people was to "Not waste everyones time" which I thought HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, as they're wasting more peoples time. I admit, I was a little pushy trying to make them see reason, but what can I say? I was attempting to help out, albeit not in the most polite manner. The 5th screenshot is there just to show I didn't get the final blow on the 4th.. As it looks like it, and I know someone would point it out >_>




and finally the last pic wont spoiler.... dunno why :/



About 2-3 minutes after this, I got kicked. Not for doing pearl or ruby lights, but because they didn't want people telling them how it works. I sent them a /t saying they should read up on lights before trying to organise an alliance and wasting peoples time, to which they resonded, and I quote "on the contrary my friend i no precidely how it works and i {thank you} for your input".

Moral of the story.. Warp now, not later ;p

To be honest, I probably would have left before entering just for the fact the leader didn't seem open to anyone's suggestions or anyone's ideas of how light is suppose to be built. :\ I hope you didn't stay in there for long unless it did in-fact improve.. lol

Samusaron is a faglet. Seriously bad player who leads a group of more bad players into bad things that they make bad with their badness. He occasionally shouts abuse at people in WG for no apparent reason. Not sure what his linkshell is called but I recommend avoiding anyone in and around it.

Don't party with people who don't know what they are doing. I learned that lesson long time ago.

Judging by your screenshots it seems your LS was very interested in what you had to say. :o

lmfao.... I was unfortunate to join one of Samusaron's runs before. Never again for the same goddamn reasons. I ran DM with him... and yes he cant' type for ***but he knew how to do it there. Abyssea however.... yeah, no. His runs are horrible. He even calls a time to enter the zone as if it was something else.


If you like to join rather than make, Brandmuffin, Verone and I in Shiva server sometimes host our own runs that can last a very long time. Our last good run ran 12 hours and I ended up fully meriting a whole job and had leftover merits.

(inb4: Nice way to advertise your ***.)

If I see a shout I'll be sure to join. Still got SAM & PLD to go 80 and a ***ton of merits to do. I BLM Abyssea waaaaaaaayyyy too much for my merits <.<

Oh Samusaron... He's one of the worst players I've had the misfortune of playing with. He's really elitist too which doesn't help his case, I've had a few run in's with him and he's always mocked my bard gear because I didn't have relic hands (!!!!!!) and because I didn't use a string earring (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Yes they did. It was even posted on FFXI wiki and ***. A friend of mine said they abyssea'd with them too & they were HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.. but afk'd after 30mins and someone else led the pt.

I'm surprised he's actually rocking the UK flag too, his typing is terrible, I thought for sure it'd be his second language.

No offense to anyone else's English, of course ;p

Sorry, just as a tiny FYI, Scragg hard-coded the forum entry field to only accept a max of 5 spoiler tags. :p That's why the last one won't "hide" properly.

I see this mostly with BLMs. I BLM a lot in abyssea.. And very often, once the 30 azure lights are done, I'll see them all standing around with full mp afk. I've politely asked them (when myself and some friends were leading) if they'd say when they're going afk, as I wouldn't want to acuse them of leaching. To which I've had replies twice now "I cant nuke if im not going for kill shot" ????? If you're BLM in Abyssea and trying not to killshot.. Small nukes, stun, hell cure 3 if you must. I know melee do it too as you see them stood in the middle of the field, however I guess some are peeking in chests <.<

Basically Samusaron is a horrible player, don't play with him if you're on Shiva.

I wonder if all servers are the same :/

Didn't you know that OP?! LIGHTS BREAK!

/sarcasm

also I didn't really read all of the convo but i've been in a great abyssea grp where the leader said "non WS kills, idc if mage or melee" and ended up getting our first TE within 20 minutes, capping both lights within 45-50 minutes and getting something like 150+ minutes by the time i had to go (;-;)
