Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Ha, it's weird zoning out to Rolanberry Fields and not seeing everyone out here bazaaring. Where do people do that now?

Jeuno.

I typically see people in Jeuno doing some, but I imagine that Adoulin has some.

;-; papa

I wanna meet papa!
You only want me for my healthy type-o liver when yours gives out any minute now :I

Those are the things I wanna watch, but the problem is indeed the lack of time for them all.

Well Alley had the bomb dropped on her. The big boss of our organization wants a meeting with her and our supervisor/manager with official write-ups and documentation because of the work she has been missing due to her lupus flares. Dropping this on her two days before her first infusion, like she didn't have enough to stress about.

I have a feeling its serious because they asked her if she wanted to have a union rep present with her.

I dunno much about this kinda stuff, hopefully the rep is on point and knows Allison's rights and whatnot because of her illness.

Meanwhile, got to chapter 1!

And *censored spoilers*

Watched Room last night, it was brilliant and deserved the praise it got.

I'd only take Bidoof to be my HM slave forever, I think it's better off staying in that box :I

First off, thanks for all the changes made to BG Wiki. I'm finding it much easier to use now in comparison to just a month ago.

So, I think this really all comes down to how you play FFXI. I am not what I will call a "Social MMO Player". I don't play the game simply to socialize. Whenever I log in, I try to have some specific purpose to logging in that day. Getting sidetracked by other stuff is natural, but I at least have some plan going in. There are some days I never say a single thing in LS.

I was fortunate enough to be given a pearl when I ran across some people spawning NMs while I was doing RoV missions. However, without the missions being done, I didn't have KIs to help them, etc. So aside from the story being what I care about most, that was plainly what I needed to do if I wanted to play with others. Once I completed the story, I participated in some LS stuff, but then ended up not having enough silt to buy the Tribs KI.

I have a couple things that I clearly need to do, like farming silt and job points. Gear is really what gives me a hard time though in deciding what to do. IMO, most job threads don't do a very good job at identifying 'mid-tier' (or perhaps I should say "easy accessibility") gear. Beginner and top level are good. When I look at something top tier and go "There's no way I can get that anytime soon", there aren't always alternatives given (or if they are, they're not necessarily any easier to get). There's a terrible assumption in some of them that if you're gearing the job, you're going straight for the top.

Sure, my WHM may be 'good enough' for a lot of events, but there's no way my PLD or BLU is. I don't want to jump into a LS event and end up being carried (even if they would absolutely do it, I don't like being that person). I want to put in the time to get a decently gear job that can contribute to the team. I prefer to do most of that farming dual boxing. Another reason for this is that I don't want the LS committing time to me and my characters when I may end up quitting again if I lose interest. I know everyone fondly remembers farming Dynamis to get someone a relic and then having them quit.

This has turned into more of a rant than I intended, but what I was going for was "It's not that simple for everyone."

I agree with this so much. I like to know what my options are if I can't get the "top tier" stuff yet.

Whats the name for those comics anyways, i see a fair few of them.

Its from Ponyo. A very cute Miyazaki(Ghibli) movie!
