is it me?Follow

Yay..i finally passed the 50 level mark with one of my jobs.
and now i think i may have confirmed my growing suspicion...
alot of players at around level 45 turn into complete morons..
now don't get me wrong i respect the work it takes to get these characters to higher levels, and understand that they spend alot of time (not to mention alot of dateless nights) to get to that point, but why does it seem alot of people have the opinion if you do not play the game exactly the way they say you should that you are a Noob, crappy player, or what ever cheap shot you use..i do not enjoy post 45 level parties with any of my jobs and i'm starting to run out of options..other than starting over. tonight i had a party that spent atleast 25% of the time whining about party setup,each other, or the people that got tired of beng put down by the others and left. i can understand once in a while getting into a group you just don't Mesh with but the last 4-5 parties have been this way so i'm starting to get concerned...just need to see if it is just me or what

To be honest i've found my post 50 parties to be very fun. People know their jobs and are finally happy to be getting AF and stuff. I haven't really noticed people complaining about set up. Most of the time we take what we can get and wing it.

your solution is a static.



furthermore, post 45, people develop their characters and in turn can pull off some very very quick chains and XP.

It takes a alot to level and the typical 1-2 k / hour XP doesnt cut it (Post 45 experience should be 3-6k [ideally] an hour pending on your PT). If you have someone doing RDM/RNG, RDM/NIN, NIN/DRG (LOLZ), then they are just dead weight to a party thats trying to be fully effective.

If your a RDM (I'm really trying not to pick on RDM but they are a shining example!) and you like to melee post 45...please ask your party first.

Im level 71 and if a RDM wants to melee I'm skeptical at first, but as long as they do their job and don't create extra work for me or the WHM I don't mind at all. But for them to just start swinging and missing and not givin me my crack and making me debuff 0.o then I get /mad.

Id have to agree with you Teenytaru.
When you hit 50+ you start to play with the same ol' people all the way to 75 if you lvl pretty steady. Lv50-75 is when i made a lot of my friends.

If you are having problems getting into parties, play between 3AM-6AM EST. I always get parties at that time... even though I can't understand them ;-) Just use auto translate and work real hard and you will get there ;-)
