Oh you mean the 8 years so far i spent playing a game online with people who would rob all my hard work if they could just to laugh about it, provided by a company whos customer service is the only one ive ever experienced that id literally rate 1/10 (if i could score it somewhere) and a development team so racist and confused they have no idea what people want let alone what will get people to play the game or enjoy playing the game.
i started regretting it about 2 years ago, it slowly dawns on me that i was 22 when i started my ffxi life and between then and now ive wasted lots of time playing with people that either didnt understand me, were trying to take advantage of me, hated me (for just playing the game it seems), or were so .... how do i put this nicely .... so slow at picking up the game mechanics they made everything a long long chore instead of a 20 min tele kill something leave scenario its a wonder im not insane at this point.
but seriously when i ask myself why did you just add more crysta carl! i seriously sometimes dont know, stand around in port jeuno waiting for someone to convince me to do something for nothing ? chat to some people about the game ? in reality its the hope ill win a relic from the new mogNOTbonanza they are doing soon and honestly i still hope i do^^ but aswell a part of me wishes they would just stop ffxi soon so i can get over my addiction to it and get on with my life, sadly ill likely be here in a year having played for about 100 hours and having paid for 12 months worth of mediocre updates and gameplay with the people mentioned above and still be hoping i can somehow get that shiny thing i wanted waay back when it was usefull to me when i used to play ffxi more.
Lets be honest if everyone that played ffxi did something constructive with our time and money spent playing ffxi the world and our lives would be a better richer place!.
But
it
could
be
so
much
worse
we could have all gotten ourselves one of these.
i feel bad for the guy/girl who plays MMo's and has an ear like this :P
