Im a master vet shouting in town 24/7 and filter 99.99% of noobs in ausura.

Yeah, but you shout about being broke, homeless and having to use McDonald's WiFi to play the game, lol.

The licking, Altana, please tell me I'm not the only one who knows about the licking.

mid-core? lol ok
Yes mid-core, there's also Troll Gamer, Girl Gamer, Gaymer, Retro-gamer and Pro-Gamer. I'm not arbitrarily pulling words out of my ***, and while there is no general consensus on these definitions the attempts to formalize them are still there. When introducing the Wii-U Nintendo themselves even used the word Core Gamer. All categories can be further broken down into taxonomies: Achievers, Explorers, Socializers and Killers.

The majority of you are NOT casuals, sorry. Just either lazy or full of excuses.

Oh here we go. You just lured Saevel into this conversation.

I'm just surprised that another player on this site actually understands those and how they relate to attracting and entertaining a specific player. Though I've started to use the world Competitor over Killer as it's really just people who want to demonstrate their superiority over others. MOBA's and Competitive FPS are the markets that really attract those types.

How about if you are a player who is carried by other good players? Do you get vet status because you have been through it all?


Story of my life on COR lol. Always being carried, not much difference from buyer or mules.

So much truth.

Greatest PLD ever that's what a Smokeone was!!!
Inside joke of Asura >.>

Also the #1 shouter of Asura for years. He had his own "epic" zone-in text, like 12+ lines, he made sure to shout every god damn time he zoned. Also the most random/weirdest crap he would just shout.
Chyula can't even come to be 10% of what Smokeone was in this category.

this game had always been about bonding with the community in order to progress

Which is why Dragon's Aery was always drama free, right? Take off the rose tinted glasses, FFXI - Utopia edition never existed.


yeah man kupo omen and vanquish just loved to hold hands and sing songs together

I woke up and found my inbox full of "how can you do X Y Z without GS" PMs after previous equipset discussions. I swear we need an equipset or vanilla FFXI tutorial.....

(I'll probably write one on bg wiki)

Veteran player Reads guides, wiki or talks to other players when they don't know.

Amateur players roll in head full of aspirations and have read / know nothing of what they are doing. (And usually brag about how good they are)

90% of the game is strategies and gear. (and gearswap)

9% I would say is the company you keep(If things were more difficult I would say the company you keep would matter more).

And the last 1% is the player them self. If someone else can do it. With practice, knowledge and gear it can be repeated.

But that is just my opinion.
