Necro Bump Detected!
[30 days between previous and next post]For favorites I'd have to go with:
Motenten/Kinematics Archon

Time flies, it was already 30 days since they last necro bumped this one.

I could swear it was last week!
One of the best players has to be mischief . I like lex alot but skill level he wasn't even on mischief level
I like how we all have access to the same gear and what not... Yet someone can be better? I think you guys just have crushes on other players and want to jerk each other off...

Idk about the top player but that Nickeny guy *** sucks.

Me and my boy Sirlancelot are both in the top two, and I aint number two.
What the hell im not in it?

That could very well be actually, yeah. But there really is a line of distinction between good players and not-so-great players so the good players will sometimes get some fame to them. Good players typically research things, come prepared, plan, follow directions, pay attention, yadda yadda yadda. These should all be standard things but when you deal with a lot of players who do NONE OF THIS its painful. So if there are players who are really cool shouldnt hurt anyting to throw them a mention imo. My hat goes to: Motenten/Kinematics Archon Byrth BG Wiki Admins FFXIclopedia Admins FFXI Testers Avesta (Famous 75-Era Soloes) Ejin (Awesome Demonstration/Multiboxing Videos) Ruaumoko (Awesome Guide Videos) Letmesoloher A list of very good players spanning Kujata, Valefore and Asura servers that will probably muddy things too much. Awesome job guys.

I haven’t seen anyone mention him yet, but I think Funkworkz deserves a spot on anyone’s top 40.

If everyone has the exact same gear options, then the only remaining metric by which to judge players is by skill. I have seen so many well-geared awful players, and very few good undergeared players. Even back in the 75 era, we measured the value of a party member by their skill above their gear (within reason).

This list is rigged. I don't see Ahalee anywhere!
buttplug said: » I like how we all have access to the same gear and what not... Yet someone can be better? I think you guys just have crushes on other players and want to jerk each other off... The DD who is incapable of outranging dangerous TP moves that can be outrun or drop WS's on xp mobs at 5% DD's incapable of skillchaining Mages incapable of double bursting The Stunners who are incapable of stunning key moves (Lahar, Incisive, etc etc) etc etc Its a low skill game, but those who are incapable of picking up the low skillset required stick out like a sore thumb. Carbuncle.Nynja said: » Its a low skill game I think people heavily underestimate FFXI, its actually a very complex game, given such diversity of stats, attribute, options to optimize gear, optimize parties, optimize alliances, optimize for specific foes, optimize for specific content, optimize for specific moveset, etc. But given its age, over 20 years, and being heavily community centered, and all the third party and repository of knowledge it has, its simple becomes common sense, and many hardship are simply trivialized by third parties. Suppose we had like 1000 players starting anew right now, and they only had to play without sharing knowledge, without use of wikis or third party, after some fixed amount of time we would have only a fraction of those actually clearing the storyline and endgame content, a smaller fraction actually understanding the best use of game mechanics, and even a smaller fraction actually pulling the max out of the game. In such restricted experiment, probably would make sense picking a "best" out of those 1000 new players, because probably would be the one who achieved the highest in terms of skills, then probably it would reflect in its rewards/gears. But in reality, the sharing of knowledge, the third party and many QoL changes really reduced the entry barrier, and "capped" the ceiling for many players, so that there isnt a "best" we pick if there are hundreds capped in the ceiling of skill. But still, maybe a handful of games could be considered more complex than FFXI. And those handful are certainly games that I personally never played, because its certainly the most complex game I personally played. FFXI is not "hard" but it requires massive prep work and solid coordination. I think that's why it still fun.
Swapping gear mid cast is also a huge part of the fun. You don't need 8-10 pieces of gear per job to hunt down and farm. You need dozens of pieces to do a job right. Some pieces of equipment are 20 years old and still used. No other game I'm aware of works like that. My Apoc is visiting college campuses, getting ready to graduate HS in the spring.

Depends by which variables you define the concept of "hard".
That changes your point of view and consequentially wether or not FFXI fits the definition of "hard". While I consider it highly debateable, I think most of us will agree that FFXI is a Deep and Complex game. FFXI is one of the hardest mmorpgs there is, the amount of work you have to do to even do the content, the randomness in encounters, the ability for a monster to just kill you instantly, the knowledge you need from other people figuring out mechanics and writing it down for you.
Most games tell you what to do, they give you the gear you need to clear the content, redoing the content over again is instant and with no punishment. I played Tera and I did the hardest dungeons, that was skill based difficulty where you have to hit the block button or target a character to land a heal, do mechanics etc. I built newbie groups, learned the mechanics and cleared those dungeons way quicker than anything in XI. XI is a proper mmorpg, you have to do the progression to earn the right to do the thing.

Asura.Sechs said: » FFXI is a Deep and Complex game The fact you can swap gear when engaged (while most MMOs don't allow you to) is one of the defining aspects of FFXI's depth and complexity. One of. Not THE only one.
If you had to do it manually and not with one button (or automatically) it would be, it isn't.
Nothing complex or difficult about anything in XI. Often complicate it by needing to do it faster, self imposed. You follow the meta, you cookie cut the set up, you get the gear, you make the hp0, it's formulaic. It's the complete opposite of complex. (No one cares about master trial dps requirement being impossible, August has too much hp, that's not difficulty, it's a miscalculation) Asura.Sechs said: » Depends by which variables you define the concept of "hard". You can pretty much sum up anything as hard regarding the steep of its learning curve. Math is hard? Well, maybe its not hard for a professional mathemati cian, but even him/her will have immense amount of hours before he/she is confortable with it. Using ChatGPT is hard? Well, most people can start using it without any previous training. FFXI is hard? Well, maybe the learning curve reduced with trusts and fast leveling, but it was pretty damn hard back when I started, and noticed leveling wasnt going anywhere soloing Quadav easy prey, taking like 2, 3 minutes more 3 minutes resting. Or when I first tried leading Delve and consistently failing for not knowing the fundamentals of proper buffing, checking people gear, buffs, orders, etc. Asura.Eiryl said: » Nothing complex or difficult about anything in XI. Sometimes you need you actually understand what youre saying. Most likely you are over a decade playing it. Saying something isnt hard after doing it for over a year only meant you have some brain cells. Anyone remotely intelligent can have some degree of proficiency by doing the same thing over a time. But that doesnt mean he could get it done in the first week or month. I never spent more than 2 months before clearing everything in single player games, and that mastering everything available. And i can assure very few will have any relevant progress in FFXI with the same amount of time. Damn, multiple times i helped LS members starting brand new, and even doing a lot of handoffs, they took at least a month before they started to join for easy content like Vagary, and obviously being killed by every single AoE, fotmor, etc. Are they stupid? Could be, but FFXI difficulty have a part on it FFXI has (relative to other MMOs) a slightly higher IQ check.
FFXI has (relative to other MMOs) a much, much lower mechanical skill check. FFXI requires more preparation than most MMOs, though part of that is due to culture developed by players and not intentional design. That cover everything?

I couldn't even beat the hard content WHILE cheating to the best of my ability
Y'all got me beat
