Everyone telling him that he is wasting other people's time need to quit this game. This game is nothing but a waste of time that's wasted enjoyably. Yes, you can work on your gear OP and yes you are sane. Screw the guy that put you down and pay no mind to the mindless peanut gallery on here that need to type away a negative post to justify their existence.

You'll find friends along the way that will help you. Just be open to advice and constructive criticism when it is given. Be well dude and play the the game!

I don't think whoever booted him is obligated to take him or anyone else along whom they dismiss as unfit.
That person is just as free to boot him as he is as free to not bother gearing his job up to a higher standard. It is kinda laughable being it's only CP but thinkin other ppl should quit the game even tho they don't owe you a leech spot is just as hypocritical. He's above you in gear but now you're above him in morals? Meh I guess I understand both sides and am impartial to either or.....

Me? Yeah. I blow a lot of people's minds with that.

But on the other hand, I get the luxury of being able to say my mules are better than 99% of people's mains.

CPing is srsbsns.
I think your armor set would've been fine unless you were the sole aoe dmg, then it might've been questionable. Idk as long as you were doing ***, who cares?

Well congrats on getting less than you would have gotten if people were properly geared.

Some people will tolerate it, others won't.

A single player can keep those camps cleared lol, what does it matter what most of the people are wearing?

That said, grouping up to farm JP/slit in escha is pretty pointless if it isn't with friends due to party penalties.

I am happy to report that after reading my post and feeling sorry for a wretch like me, a fellow Asura'n CP farmed with me out in Escha + Gave me some advice on which stats to prioritize. He said that I should have been wearing my MAB gear instead of MAC gear in anything less than VT MOBs. So i threw on:

ItemSet 337528

While there are plenty of mindless solo farms and quests at which you can acquire better gear, I can only do so many before I want to quit the game because it is so boring. The only time I have real fun is grouping with other people.

moldavite->novio/barakole (novio is dirt cheap, barakole is from a questline)

change body back to spaekona +1, you can also get an acumen ring with sparks which has 4 mab and i think 2 int? otherwise it's pretty passable. you can easily book alluvion yorcia skirmish and leech up helios gloves and boots and augment them for less gil than hagondes

Did you have any luck with that skirmishing augmenting system?

I was able to buy / farm up enough to get around + 11 MAB on each piece except legs which has + 11 mac.

I can use my blue to farm Alluvian Yorcia. I've gotten a few Teon pieces out of there. I ran it when it first came out but simulacrum ingredients were so expensive then.

As it turns out I had the acumen ring, I just assumed the shiva's was better.

I looked it up and that quested earing is sick. Ill get started on that right away. Would you advise losing the earring with enmity even though its a loss in MAB?

Thanks for the help!

I would recommend losing the moldavite earring. If you're soloing stuff like you would be in escha CP parties then enmity really doesn't matter and if you're doing stuff with a tank then while enmity matters it doesn't matter much. Also when people look at your gear and see a moldavite earring they assume you're not interested in trying to get good gear.

BLU is a lot of work to get up to speed, but once you do, it's so worth it. Also, FF players cringe when you say "Toon", call it a character, pretty please?

Good ole' BST, guess it's good it's having some spotlight at the very end, after years and years of being mediocre at everything, and terrible at some things.

Lol, but we can safely assume almost anyone who calls it a toon is not terribly great at this game. At the least, not anyone I have ever seen.

Your gear seems fine for 119~ mobs but there is a variety of better gear than what you are wearing. It is not a huge deal but who ever you were dealing with wanted someone in more up to date gear to get mobs killed faster. Maybe they were on a time limit with a goal in mind, maybe they are just entirely rude. Also there is the doubt in under geared players that plenty of players express. Don't let them anger you or give them attention they don't deserve.

Funny how they said they were going to call a GM on you if you continued to contest to their player discrimination.

GM's will not get involved in Player disputes unless it's a Direct Personalized Insult or Racial attack.

Disagreements on Gear/Strategy is not something a GM will look at, nor care about. This also includes the extract I bolded, whether what he did was being *** or not is irrelevant, it's not illegal in game so to speak.

I have this in writing for those who require proof!

I was wearing this gear:
ItemSet 337507

The only thing I can see that the party leader could have had a problem with is the average iLevel of your gear, since there are a few 113 and 115 pieces in that gear set, which would have at least some effect on the capacity points per kill.

But for the most part, he was just being a prat.

Personally, I'd be more concerned with the possible implication that the gearset is fulltimed.

That is a very important point! If the iLevel affects CP yeild it would be very bad.

That would indicate that I need to wear whatever 119 iLVL pieces I have when CP farming.

Talked to you briefly last night, but if you end up needing people. Then I can do some [A] Yorcia with you on BLU.

Thank you, I haven't done Alluvian Yorcia in many months. I will see if you are interested in doing one when I am playing next.

OK Made some minor changes to my gear.

I haven't had a chance to mess with Alluvian Skirmish yet but I did find a party doing the tier one Escha nm's.
