Have You Ever Wondered Why... FFXI Style!

Because then the Kraken would have a purpose!

(Instead of being a useless waste of space ;p)

i got a few

have you ever wondered why when someone dies you cant strip there gear/gil?

have you ever wondered why birds/bats dont fly any higher then they really should?

have you ever wondered why when a mob is about to die he doesnt just surrender or even run away? why fight to the death everytime?

have you ever wondered why when a mob is about to die he doesnt call for help on you?

have you ever wondered why when a mob kills you he doesnt get any of your drops?

I WISH! I'd run out of inventory every time I'd come upon a Dyna shell that wiped and ended up outside the Sandy MH. "I'll take that Valor Surcoat! Ooohh, Boxer's Mantle? Yes, please!"

idk if this is up,

but have you ever wondered why when you spend two years doing a certain dynamis and the ONE day you miss of it the item you want, drops? /slap face

^This. I did 4 Xarc shortly before i left game hoping for some Bards Cannions to drop. Afterward checking back on the LS's forums saw 2 pairs had gone for less than 4 points :/

Have you ever wondered why you are not able to purchase Imperial pieces in stacks from NPC?

Curious, if you can did this... in dynamis... when the tank is charmed.
Would be funny seeing a friend running around with his name in your lower left corner in orange.
hehe

~Yote

Oh jeez, even I have a pair for my BRD33. lol ><

yeh ; ; and those runs were after the northlands update to boot lol.

lol so many good ones that I'd like to comment on. Anyway...

Have you ever wondered why Paladins, who have Shield Mastery, can't use Genbu's Shield. (please don't ruin the purpose of this thread by actually answering that lol)

Have you ever wondered why, no matter what answer you choose, or whatever task you carry out for an npc, they will always be a *** to you.

Have you ever wondered why...

There are multiple tiers of job traits yet the only one that sticks it's head out to show you there are indeed higher tiers of it is Treasure Hunter. Everything else just "appears" to be tier 1.

Have you ever wondered why you can't send a party invite to anyone that's not in the same region?

I'm kinda glad, honestly...the short time I played WoW, I used to always end up in parties with friends that were literally all over the world, all doing their own thing. Kinda distracting imho. I dunno, I just like the fact that when I'm in a party with someone it's for a reason lol

Have you ever wondered why blu is one of the now 4 jobs that can use Chakrams yet has no natural throwing skill?

Have you ever wondered why instead SE decided to give PUP throwing skill yet they can use almost no throwing items and need an animator even if they wanted to?

Since we talking throwing have you ever wondered why Marksmanship and Archery get WS yet Throwing doesn't? Are they trying to gimp throwing more than it is?

Also have you ever wondered why you can equip range weapons on your mannequin yet they don't affect the looks and the only thing it does is make you unable to take it out of storage till you unequip it.

Since I'm on ranged attacks have you ever wondered why Cor are so good with guns yet up until the recent Fields of Valor update their first gun was at what 16 or something? Shouldnt they have been able to use something from oh I don't know lvl 1 or so. On the same note why can't a thf use lvl 1 bolts, they can use a lvl 1 crossbow but have to wait till 14 for bolts.

Lvlin on imps atm and I just have to ask, why do imps always wait till the moment I hit my ws macro to amnesia... then they wait till the instant it wears to use it again... so evil...

Also why do imps always cast their enfeebling spells on me when the tank has hate. I mean shouldnt they target him. Man imps are evil... why do we lvl on them...

Ever wondered why Unions are not United?

/bump

Thought of this thread earlier today. Was collecting zeni from a crawler hunter with the usual sleep > run away! > sleep strategy and while kiting through crawlers nest had a though,

Have you ever wondered why crawler hunters dont aggro crawlers?

I have often wondered why the three pink birds that fly in Windurst Walls over Heaven's Tower never lose altitude despite never, ever, flapping their wings.

Heavens tower is putting out a lot of magic which works as a thermal ;)

Ever wondered why you never get pooped on by the birds?
edit: OR STEP IN POOP

I've often wondered why a RNG can't shoot and run. <.<

Or poo yourself?

Edit: I meant that as in never go to the bathroom, but since our characters don't, maybe we DO just poo ourselves and our Moogle cleans our clothes when they're in our locker <.<

I think the obvious answer is this is FF11, not virtual toilet.

I've always wondered why a RNG would put away his/her bow/gun after every shot...

Ever wondered wtf was wrong in the head of the lil JP that made cockatrice skin description ?!

Cockatrice Skin
Smooth and glistening cockatrice skin.

That's terribly wrong <.<

I wonder why we can't step on Tarus while walking,

I also wonder why mobs don't get blasted away when I use Dragon Kick?

I've always wonder why does Windurst use plain/generic banners on their city walls, but Windurst [ S ] has the really nice looking yellow and green Star Tree symbol on them.



What really makes me go 'WTF why you do this?!' is why Rangers can use guns. Yeah, I know they're a range job but guns = bullets + gunpower. Rangers are purely bow and arrow, they're nature people! They make arrows from wood, you never hear of a Ranger sitting around with gun oil and stuff. When was the last time you heard of a Ranger in any regular FF game or even any fantasy setting going 'Let me get my gun'.

SE even heavily implies that COR is a gun wielding class (IIRC the unlock quest cutscene basically says they rely on their hexagun) yet gives them only a B in the skill and then makes rACC guns RNG ONRY.

Not to mention Balthier in FF12 is basically a Corsair, not a Ranger. lol it's Sky Pirate, not Sky Ranger.

I wonder why I can stand in front of a wall, and miss it. Then I thought AH! I'm elvaan of course we couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. So then I pop a piece of acc food, switch to acc gear, and yet still miss it, laughing as everyone in the party does the same thing, only to find that not only can I hit it with holy, but do decent dmg! >.>

Ever wonder why charm fails only when you're doing a pet swap?

Also, ever wonder why charm fails twice only when you're doing a pet swap?

Have you ever wondered why all jobs can't equip a pebble?

Have you ever wondered why Mithras can't do the same /emote that the mithra does at the race/gender startup screen? (the one with them rolling around on the ground)
That move made me want to become a mithra because it was hella hot, lol.
