Attention Players of Bismarck, A Petition to SEFollow

How annoying, you spam this on every single server forum?

I bet the Rng Forums too... *goes to check* Ding, yup!
When I used to post on the VN boards (RIP), this was a bannable offense.

Sorry to break it to you, but your idea, while good in intentions just is not going to work.


I do have to give you credit though for seemingly using a spell checker, most idiots who write up petitions like this don't even bother making it look professional.

You know what? Im sorry you feel you were gimped, get in line.
Im a drg. I dont think Im gimped at all but not everyone see it that way. Then again it does amaze me time and time again when I have +45 acc in gear, acc bonus trait, and using sole sushi yet I whiff quite a bit on low eva mobs, but thats another story. Anyway I read the petition and all I see is this.

/cry
I want to do 10,000 dmg per hit because I pay for it. EVERYone is pissed because VE doesnt drop emp pin anymore. boo whoo.

Dude pick your spots shot your damned arrow. Its been a day and ahalf since the update and you probably havent even figured out ideal distances to stand for dmg. I know a few rangers and not 1 of em is crying. Furthermore exactly whom is pissed because mobs like VE dont drop emp pin anymore? Gil sellers thats it. Im quite happy SE changed what monsters like VE dropped to ex/rare. point being 3 simple words. QUIT YOUR *********
PS. - Sorry i sound like a jack *** but ppl constantly whining about gimpedness is annoying. Also I think rngs should do nice dmg since they pay for it just not on the scale they were doing.
Slightly less would make me happy.

ok,

Here we go. The update just happened and now you have the people that want to B*tch that it happened..

Ohh, wait heres an idea since all you want to do it /cry

I think I will start my own petition to SE to give us RDM's more stuff.. Since we always get screwed during updates and get nothing for it.. Wait that would be pointless, just as this petiition is.. They do thiese things for several reasons.

1) RNG was not meant to be a massive damage dealer. It was bad enough that they did 10,000 dmg at any range. What so now you have to figure in distance before using ranged attacks. (Kinda sounds like real life..) ex: If I pick up a bow/arrow and use it what will do more damage to a target. Shooting from 5ft. or shooting from 100ft. Anyone who has ever picked up a bow knows you do better damage from a distance.

2) Now I use Nin as a sub for alot of things. But NIN was NEVER designed to be a tank!! People just got used to using it that way as a Stand in for PLD.

3) NM drops.. ok you B*tch that Gil-sellers are killing the game.. OMFG!!! Gil-sellers have driven up the price of emp pin to 800k.. I'll never get one now.

They fix this problem and make it (I think) a BCNM drop, and create and item with the same stats as an ex/rare item (THAT CAN NOT BE SOLD) and still you B*itch.

I remember when people in this game came up with the same ideas to fix these probelms, and when people played for fun. Now all many of you are doing is /cry this, /cry that.

If you feel Rng has really been gimped and you don't want to play no more then guess what "Bounce"...

I'm not trying to be an *** to you. it's just that when SE does something to try and fix problems within the game and people do nothing but complain, it takes away from the reasons for doing it. They whent and put a big hurt on gil-sellers now. Ok, so now they will relocate to something else. But they made items people want for job use and made them where people can get them. And you want to do a petition to reverse the new update?

Ok, RNG doesn't do 10,000 mg now per shot.. ok, test the waters it's all based off distance. I mean come on..

When I first starting playing FFXI, RNG was all I wanted to be; it was my goal for the game. Very quickly, I got my RNG to 42 a few months ago (after leveling THF as my main job) and realized the fun in playing RNG was gone, dead - (1) select mob (2) /ra <t> (3) mob dead

How much fun is that? In solo play (especially farming) it was fun to run around and do one-shot kills. In the Dunes, where I sometimes like to hang out helping folks, one shot kills are invaluable to parties in distress due to aggro or links or stupid pulls.

In party play, I personally didn't try to steal hate from the PLD or the NINs -I always asked the PLD (it's the respectful thing to do - after all, I wasn't the tank of the party) how he/she wanted me to help them control hate. In a party, the most success to be found is in balanced cooperative play with all team members. The good RNGs do that, the bad RNGs whine, complain, and yes, I've even seen some temper-tantrums.

I quit playing RNG - not coz of the gil involved - but because of the arrogance of a lot of RNGs that I encountered. "You must sub NIN to your RNG, WAR isn't a good sub" "You're eating the wrong food - eat Yellow Curry, not Squid Sushi" "Your gear needs to be changed" (lol, this was especially funny to me coz my gear at the time was: Noct +1, Leaping Boots, Archers Knife, Emporer's Hairpin, Battle Bow +1, plus +RaAtt and +RaACC jewelry)

It's sad to see that the arrogance still exists that RNGs don't wanna adjust and adapt to a more realistic, balanced way of playing. For me the most fun part of this game is the struggle to succeed in a job - RNG has never ever known a struggle.

Also, RNGs: it's not just you that happens to be impacted by the /ra changes. Any job that has the ability to use /ra skills is impacted... haven't heard or seen any of them moan and groan as much as a RNG.

Sorry, I'm getting off my soapbox now...

I signed it with a rather "creative" name. Guess which one it is

***** you hippie, I'm going home.

(I signed the petition with a rather creative name as well XD)


This is lame.

When DRG got 'nerfed', many, many DRG's complained, but S-E didn't do anything about it. What makes you think you deserve to be put on a high pedestal and S-E needs to fix what they have done?

Oh no! So now you have to carefully place yourself between a mob. Oh no! If you feel you need to be a powerhouse, simply sub WAR or SAM.

Grow up and get over it. The changes are sticking, and there's nothing you can do about it.

XD look @ number 674, that was me ^^

Edit: I think it got removed, it was "Iwuz Bribed" teehee

I am addressing this toward a generalization, but come on, guys.

Two months ago, the RNG were crowing the loudest about how much DRG sucks. Even put a foot in the door of suggesting that another job might have better DOT than a RNG, and you were laughed out of town.

The job was unbalanced, we *all* knew it. That's why RNG was the must-have Promy job, the must-have HNM job, BCNM, missions, you name it. We all knew a RNG could walk in the door, take aim and do outlandish amounts of damage, making even difficult fights into Fisher-Price wham-bam sessions, no one even broke a sweat.

Like any loophole, it was a good time! Who doesn't like it when you can destroy an NM in less than a minute and walk away with your prize? Almost too easy.

But the other jobs suffered. Who is going to invite a MNK or a WAR (god forbid, a DRG), when there is a RNG seeking? The *only* thing other DD had going for them, comparatively, was the skillchain. Not because of inherent lack of usefulness, but because RNG had tremendous hype and rightly so.
DD is a hotly contested area of the game, so the pressure to keep it on even ground for everybody is pretty high.

You can still do good damage, but this time you're going to have to be cerebral about it, the way BLMs have to be cerebral about elemental weakness, or BRDs have to judge song radii. This will let you shine, if you're willing to put a little mental as well as 'financial' work into the job. There will be great RNG that know what they're doing, then there will be the plinkers that show up, stand wherever, use whatever, and expect to own everything.

I'm not laughing at you guys, I would be pretty miffed myself if RDM took a hit at some valuable aspect of the job. But try to adapt first, learn how to work with the changes, and then see where you stand. Extra challenge isn't necessarily a bad thing, and it might make the job more fun.

I GIVE YOU PROPS!!!
This is a VERY VERY good thing your doing... im a thief/ninja and i think ranger was fine the way it was.. all other jobs should be signing this petition too... without rangers party's would be lasting alot longer and gaining alot less exp, rangers help disolve and destroy mobs. Rangers do massive damage on a normal attack and even better with Skillchain!! lets see if people are still complaining after about a week or 2... I BET YOU ANYTHING THEY ARE!! and they have a good reason to!

Several weapons MNK can(or could) equip are considered piercing damage, just like Bodkn Arrows that RNG can equip are (or were) considered blunt damage. Oops. :P Facts much?

Ninja, warrior, BST. D: Those count as non-mages, right?

None of those are RNG or MNK is all I know.
