Most people just not happy with favouritism instead of scare, or we can call it "unfair" sometime. Only few people can take it positive, it is like u are as hard working/good as B, but boss give B more salary because B is a relative or boss like him more, i think most people will feel unhappy with it, only few will say i am happy as long as boss pay me the salary that he promised me. We learn to accept favouritism, then ignore it or leave it(if got choice) because it is a human being.
From above reply i saw these events/activities like camped NM, pt-ed, missions, battlefields, raid etc were mostly did with LS/guild members or friendlist, that's what i mean "once outside their guild they can't do anything". Let say today NA want to do mission or battlefield, he have to check LS website to see if today got such event, if not then ask LS members who is currently online, still not enough members then seek friendlist help. People may got other plan like want to gain exp or other excuse unable to help, for a big LS with 30-50 members online all the time, it is still possible to get enough people to make a team, in case of a small ls with 6-10 members then... ahem.... My question is, there are hundreds of players in town who want to do same battlefield or mission, why NA not just shout like JP who able to make a team within 3 minutes rather than spend 1 hour to ask and wait LS members or give up finally. After joined a few NA shout team i might have some conclusions.
Anyway, i am still confusing that where do u live and which region prime time u play? It doesn't matter that JP LS got NA member like i said earlier, they are very friendly once they know u/become friend though a few members still dislike attendance of non-japanese-speaking people. However, if u send a tell to strange JP wish to join their team, let say the most basic and simple exp team, not matter how friendly u are, he will probably reply with translator like [i'm sorry] [english, no thanks].
There's no problem at all for english-speaking asian who plan to play at NA prime time, for those who cant speak japanese but have to play at JP prime time, how are u u going to survive in the environment of 90% players are japanese and most of them have bad impression with english-speaking players? Can the rest 10% players enough to build a strong guild/friendlist which they have to count on for everything? When there is conflict of personality within the only one LS where can we go else? Of course this is just a game, may be we should just take it easy and see how things go later or try do something.
FFonline is one of the rare global server MMORPG with some critical issue that doesn't exist in region server MMORPG, i think we need to clarify difference of environment/culture between JP and NA prime time.
first of all i stay in jb, my prime time playing were day & night, maybe not every night. was there a NA prime time n JP prime time? how you differ it? ^^ w
well i don't really quite understand what u try to tell me but, it seem like you have problem playing at ffxi where you get alot of jp only things along with looking for people for quest and mission.
my ffxi pt exping (only) i don't really sit n wait for people to shout only to get into a group, i build my own group, maybe there was like a couple of us who want to exp now, i will just do a shout or check out the people who is seeking, if you want a jp guy to join your group at least get a couple jp inside so they don't really get bored. sometimes i get reply with jp only, and i will reply them there is a couple jp members inside n they usually will say yes to u coz if they still jp only to u.. it's their lost w.. i don't really care.
for mission and quest, we will try to get most of english speaking people coz we need discuss strategy unless the jp dude is dead sure know what his/her role. that's why you can see jp people tend to pick up jp people for quest/mission only. everytime you see a shout in the jp msg, they usually stated at what time, what date so they not really make the pt right away except for exping. i met alot of NA bad seed... but not really all NA were that bad.. there is still alot of good one out there.
for us, yup everyone can post small events at forum, stated date and time. this is jsut to let everyone know in advance so they can prepare. only big events are decide by that event leader, usually it is done in weekends, sat & sun. i got talk with my friends about my intention on this forum recruiting more gmt+8 people into the ls. if we can come out with more members from asian, we will probably set up big events that is more friendly time for asian region, n for those people who on na region who able to make it, just hop in.
i dunno but seems like some of u having some really trying to enjoy ffxi. don't let the past haunt u w.. i think ffxiv will be more easier game than ffxi. some of my frens are currently in the beta, from their feedback it is very quite a different game but.. we all dunno the end-game yet ^^
if you have conflict with the people in the ls, you can take it out n talk openly, what's the problem. if you don't like this guy or got big problem, treated unfair or what then just leave the ls, what kind of attitude is that? ^^ or you said being kick out by ls, come on.. if you doing something when everyone think it is wrong and try not to change, how you expect us to help u? secondly we rarely kick people out of the ls, it is just a rule to protect the ls from breaking up. we ultimately don't want an ass-hole in a ls. so before you even join, you oledi scare this n that.. ww in all respect, how you gonna success in life? ^^ everything need to take risk only to know the outcome, just take is as an experience. this is like in real life, you go to work, you don't like your workplace, just quit and find another one. ^^
i'm actually trying to combine another ls which is more casual to play together but this is yet final. my plan was to this ls the strongest NA ls around. we still dunno who going to take the most undesirable position (main ls leader) but will soon to know. it will be voted by all the officer when the ls is in final. events leader will be decide after 70% of the ls members rdy for eng-game. we have people who will work on point system now and still experiencing a better point system, n still looking for people to make a forum as the old one is dead. remember this is not yet an official end-game ls due to when we play we still need to exping this n that, doing quest n mission. i'm just trying to give you all a picture what our ls will be or sharing my ls experience which i think every ls should be in the end-game.
i don't really care much about this game, but to be able going back playing again with friends on a game we all likes, that is just awesome. this is how i want to be for you n me. i know everyone have their own time n stuff like that, it is unavoidable. that's why i'm trying to gather more people to play so we don't really have to cling on each other.
actually i rather hope, at least, in this forum we can make a m'sian group up first. coz looking at the list, still not a bad list ww. ^^One people who is interest to join my ls, you can pm me first. as for details, i will sort it out n e-mail back to u when close to the release date.
